Our perceptions of colors and sounds can be counted just as if colors were visible numbers and sounds were audible numbers.

The matsutake grows spontaneously under the red pines. Its origin lies in the intimate association that the fungus maintains with the pine tree itself.

He said Walter Benjamin that “He who pays attention to manners but rejects lying is similar to someone who, although he dresses in fashion, does not wear a shirt.”
Therefore, in complex societies it is very difficult not to lie. Because if you always tell the truth, you go naked. And that is precisely why it is so difficult to know what is normal.
Because what we consider normal is what we identify as habitual, But our perception is not always capable of capturing all of reality, much less what remains in darkness, what others hide from themselves.. Therefore, behaviors become more common as they become more and more public.
Lies as a way to lubricate society
Erving Goffman was a Canadian sociologist and anthropologist who developed the so-called theory of impression management or control, that is, dramatized performances of social being with the purpose of controlling the impressions of others. As he himself said:
It is probably no mere historical accident that the original meaning of the word person is mask. It is rather a recognition of the fact that, more or less consciously, always and everywhere, each of us plays a role... It is in these roles that we know each other; It is in these roles where we know ourselves.
In the end, it turns out that lying is wrong, but not always, and we can also lie and even lie to ourselves if it is not noticed, if it goes unnoticed. This arms escalation of the sophistication of sincerity and Lies are the result of an increasingly complex interaction with other people, with the community..

The world is full of statements like “there is a study that says that…” or “according to a study…”. Added to this is a large number of statements that traditionally have been taken for granted but have never been replicated. Welcome to the replicability crisis galloping that you have been suffering from recently.
This problem is particularly insidious in the field of soft sciences, such as psychology, sociology, etc. That is, sciences where there are too many variables and the complexity is so high that stating anything It should be done with care that you are moving through a terrain full of mines.
Studies in doubt
In short, it is possible that the number of false positives in the scientific literature is much higher than desirable due to a combination of low statistical power, publication bias, and flexibility in analyzing the data. And that is why we are experiencing this great replication crisis.
Next, I am going to present to you some of the most popular statements in psychology and sociology that, however, have not been able to be replicated. This does not mean that they are necessarily false, but rather that the evidence we have of their veracity is very weak.:
