“Just because a behavior is "natural" does not make it good. Arsenic is a natural component of mineral water, but that does not make it something you want to drink.”

“Grooming releases endorphins--pleasant, reinforcing chemical signals. The pleasure derived from grooming seems to outweigh the pain of the occasional bite.”
― The Wisdom of Loki: The Art of Lying in the Natural World
― The Wisdom of Loki: The Art of Lying in the Natural World
“A know-it-all attitude and presentation annihilates credibility.”
― The Wisdom of Loki: The Art of Lying in the Natural World
― The Wisdom of Loki: The Art of Lying in the Natural World
“Once we comprehend the evolutionary function of deception, we stand better equipped to understand why it happens, when it is likely to happen, and who is likely to deceive us.”
― The Wisdom of Loki: The Art of Lying in the Natural World
― The Wisdom of Loki: The Art of Lying in the Natural World
“Without [Loki's] ability to deceive, the foresight of Oden had no power to protect Asgard. Without the ability to lie, the power of Thor stood diminished.”
― The Wisdom of Loki: The Art of Lying in the Natural World
― The Wisdom of Loki: The Art of Lying in the Natural World
“Try to maneuver against a crowd of students and teachers who have learned that an administrative meeting just ended and that food plates are still available in an open conference room. It's like a shark feeding-frenzy.”
― The Wisdom of Loki: The Art of Lying in the Natural World
― The Wisdom of Loki: The Art of Lying in the Natural World
“Miscommunication has an extreme adaptive advantage. Signals can misdirect the receiver and cloak the real intent of the signaler.”
― The Wisdom of Loki: The Art of Lying in the Natural World
― The Wisdom of Loki: The Art of Lying in the Natural World
“An animal that can successfully deceive has the upper hand over one who always tells the truth.”
