> lie like a rug and use the results to your advantage
I have seen and witnessed this proposition in many areas of society. In my opinion, this stance is based on the idea that a given person's lifetime is all that matters. It has completely no concern for the future of humanity or the sustainability of the greater system.
You may not be discovered on your deceptions now, but the effects of them have lasting detriments. And sometimes those lies may come back to bite your children, your nation, your race, your species, or even your planet in the long run. In the social sense, you are a representative of any group in which you affiliate. In the flesh sense, you are a representative of your genes. In the practical sense, you affect the world around you.
