Artifact 3

1. 

a. misinformation (n.)

false or inaccurate information, especially that which is deliberately intended to deceive.

— Oxford Languages

I thought it would be nice to mention this since we had a discussion on disinformation and misinformation in our English class.

b. libel (n.) (v.)

a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written defamation.

— Oxford Languages

I've listened to a lot of drama and true crime whilst working on assignments and I believe this is one the most common things that happen in a lot of cases.

c. delusive (adj.)

giving a false or misleading impression.

— Oxford Languages

(bonus!) delusional (adj.)

believing things that are not true

— Cambridge Dictionary

I initially wanted to include the word "delulu", but it sounded too informal, so I went for delusive until I remembered delulu means delusional.

d. shady (adj.)

of doubtful honesty or legality.

— Oxford Languages

It fits the answer for the next question.

2.

In the game Pressure, there is a company called Urbanshade, they explore depths of the ocean and have reached at least 18,000 ft down. 

Their first act of deception is when they took a prisoner named Sebastian Solace right before the day of his execution, handing the government a forged report of his death. 

A second instance is when the same prisoner—Sebastian Solace—had been found not guilty of his actions and the company decided not to inform him.

1.

If one starts to overthink over that lie.

I've done this before whether someone has lied to me or I've lied to them; I always start to overthink to the point where I neglect basic human necessities.

2.

They start losing trust.

Overtime when someone realises they've been lied to, it can be difficult to trust that person or just anyone. The fragility of someone's trust is the main reason why lying is harmful—it may help with future arguments and critical thinking, but it can also reach a point of drastic.

3.

It may become a habit.

It's almost ritual to lie if you do it often. So much so, it becomes a part of your subconscious, and it turns into an automatic response to something that you feel even the slightest hint of uncomfortable.

1.

Double-speak.

There is something I've learnt in my past time and it's the skill of double-speaking—which is essentially saying what something that is technically true however is also a lie in a way. Joseph Everett goes into the topic, and I recommend watching his video on it for a more in-depth explanation.

2.

Just tell the truth.

It's difficult to fully give advice to lying as there are a multitude of reasons to do so, but, as much as possible, I believe speaking the truth can do good.

a. 

My first takeaway is the disadvantages that overweigh the advantages when it comes to lying like people losing trust in you and being a huge stepback  to your moral excellence;

second, I learnt (well more like revisited) about double-speaking and how sentences can technically be true however still be false at the same time; 

lastly, I learnt the word libel. :D

b.

People can ultimately loose trust in you just by habitually lying. It can also just leave a bad taste in your mouth when you lie and moral excellence should have the opposite effect.

c.

I believe I experienced the most Kahusayan for the entire EG as I've committed to making sure my words are coherent as possible, and I've experienced Pagkamalikhain during the first questions of the EG 'cause I got to talk about one of my favourite games.
