Someone once asked me, can we evolve beyond lying. Here is my reply. 

No. The seeds are sown in the nature of our subjectivity. I don’t mean that truth is necessarily subjective, but that we can only experience it subjectively and communicate it subjectively. Therefore everything from interpretation to uniqueness of perspective to distortion to motivation to dysfunction are structurally inherent possibilities and even inevitabilties.

     There’s no way to evolve past that that doesn’t involve evolving out of the fundamental nature of our humanity. If we devolved back into something far less sophisticated and unaware of our own existence, into something like a fish, then lying would cease to exist. Or if we evolved out of the experience and knowledge of our individual existence by becoming more like an ant colony, perfectly united by some biological and psychological means where we exist collectively and individuality and subjectivity has been wiped out so that there is only one truth, one purpose, that would also eliminate lying.

   But both of these options thrown the baby out with the bath water. Both require that you, as a subject, be eradicated to achieve their end. If we’re going to exist as subjects, then we’re going to have to struggle with the truth, until the end of time.
