James examines why lying is not a moral failure but a developmental mechanism, and why modern culture is destabilized by the belief that lies should not exist. Beginning with Santa Claus as a childhood inoculation against authority, the stream moves through placebo, identity formation, immunity, justice, propaganda, and the emergence of revenge culture as a psychological substitute for selfhood.
Truth is not the opposite of lying. It is a frequency inside it. When early deception is not metabolized, it externalizes as grievance, justice theater, and political possession. Courts, juries, movements, and ideologies become emotional prosthetics for unresolved identity.
