About the Item
From Thomas Eakins’ Portrait of Dr. Samuel D. Gross (The Gross Clinic), 1875
At some point the lying has to stop, right? But when? I’m no longer convinced that any external stimulus can reverse a liar. People don’t lie because of a lack of penalties; getting in some sort of trouble is part of the action.
I suspect that any revision of a liar’s behavior can only come from within. But I have no idea how a liar, whose natural state is one of defensiveness, can be made to acknowledge the consequences of their misdirections. That’s the scary part of living in our current political climate.
