Why We Cooperate with Liars by Meyers

In Pamela Meyers' TED Talk "How to Spot a Liar" she states that lying is a cooperative act. When this statement was said I stopped to think how many times I knew someone was lying to me but I still went along with it. After I figured out a number I asked myself "why did I go along with the lie?" That question was answered by a quote from Henry Oberlander that Meyers said in her podcast stating that "Everyone is willing to give you something for whatever it is they're hungry for." This means that everyone is willing to cooperate if they are getting something they want/need in return for cooperating with the lie. That statement is 100% true in my case, every time I have cooperated with a lie it was because I knew I would get something in return for cooperating.
