And I am in Sao Paulo, on my way to the airport, en route to Paris. I know there are mathematical models of deception in the animal kingdom, but I am not a specialist. On the other hand, I worked a lot on the problem of SELF-deception - which in a sense is even more complex, although linked to the problem of deception . I organized a conference on that topic at Stanford in 1995 with excellent authors. The proceedings were published as: J.-P. Dupuy (ed.), Self-Deception and Paradoxes of Rationality, C.S.L.I. Publications, Stanford University, 1998. I am attaching a synthetic paper that I wrote for the 50th anniversary of Sartre's Being and Nothingness. More later, from Paris. All best, JP On Fri.
