Week 2, Post 3, Self Deception Reflection

     This week's learning really expanded my view of the subject of deception by showing me one of the ways we can start to deceive others, which is by first deceiving ourselves. I think that this will be extremely useful going forward to know, because this seems to be such an important part of deception. 

    So far self deception seems to be the best way to deceive someone. I am wondering how the other aspects of psychology that I have not yet started to learn about can connect to deception and making people believe things. I think that going forward in the exploration of "the self" in my course possibly combining this information with empathy/knowing myself so well that I can predict someone else could be extremely useful.
