Telling the truth. It is true that Lies are so much more interesting and the truth is boring. Well so they say. What do you think‚ isn’t it so much more creative to tell lies?

The purpose of Descartes evil demon is to established doubt upon his belief that God is the sole figure who puts thoughts into his mind.
