Skill and Intelligence Don’t Immunize Us from Being Deceived
Neville Chamberlain seeks a face-to-face meeting with Adolf Hitler, we see the same belief:
If I just meet him personally, I’ll be able to judge his character.
History shows that this confidence can be dangerously misplaced.
Lesson: Intelligence, experience, and proximity do not guarantee insight into another person’s true intentions.
We are not good at detecting deception—even when trained to do so.
We are wired to trust, which makes us vulnerable.
Expertise does not protect us from being misled.
