👉 Lie engineering refers to the strategic manipulation of information, often through deception or misinformation, to influence public perception, decision-making, or behavior. It involves crafting, spreading, and amplifying false narratives to achieve specific goals, whether to sway political opinions, manipulate markets, or undermine trust in institutions. Tactics include fabricating data, cherry-picking facts, using fake sources, or exploiting emotional triggers to distort reality. Unlike outright lies, lie engineering often relies on subtle, calculated deception—such as selective presentation of truths or misleading visuals—to create a false narrative that aligns with a desired outcome, exploiting cognitive biases to make the misinformation seem credible or inevitable. This practice thrives on the gap between truth and perception, leveraging media ecosystems and social networks to embed falsehoods deeply into public discourse.
