yeah, the average person has a default mechanism to truth that makes us want to trust others...otherwise a civil society is impossible...he uses an example of a person who is suspicious of everyone and is the loner who everybody avoids...

the CIA had a female double agent who was feeding Castro all the goods for decades, and none of her co-workers or bosses ever suspected

The big point with her was they didn't even suspect her after a reporter gave them proof she was an agent. They interviewed her and decided she wasn't hiding anything because they trusted their "instincts" over hard evidence. Meanwhile she was flying to Cuba on the weekends to receive awards from Castro himself.

The CIA's top counter-intelligence guys let her spy for another 5 or so years before she was caught. All because they believed their experience taught them how to spot a liar. Best part, she had a post card from Cuba on her desk for all to see. It's mind boggling.

He was just telling us about this book the other night.

I would read it, but I already know what happens.
