On a weird, personal note, I would love to have someone like Lightman in my life. Not the manipulative stuff, of course, but the idea of having no pretense would give me a great sense of calm, I think.
really? I think it would be stressful for me.
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not me either, LeN. I prefer my subconscious only intermittently legible.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
There's apparently an on-line course you can take to learn to recognize micro-expressions pretty reliably that only takes an hour or so, but once you learn, you can't turn it off. I'm glad someone out there is figuring this stuff out, but I'm also glad it's not me. Knowing what emotions people are hiding but not why they're feeling them or why they're hiding them seems like it would be enormously stressful.
As for being on the other side of that, I don't know, my initial reaction is that of course I have nothing to hide but I'm sure I've got all kinds of stuff that I don't even consciously know about and maybe it's best it stays that way.

Whoa. Numbers quite surprised me.

It's like they say. It's not that hard to figure out that someone is lying, but why they are lying is the key.

Exactly. With the average person telling three lies in a ten-minute conversation, all that figuring out why would be exhausting.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
now you are making me wonder if I lie without realizing I am lying.
I know I do. I am especially good at pretending I know why something happens. I come to my reason logically, but ith no facts. It is fun. As long as I remember I can't do that at the library.

Who are they conversing with? I just don't have those conversations--I must either skew the average, or save my lies up for conversations filled with untruths.
