I am hungry do you want to go eat ? At the moment that question is asked the person has to evaluate whether or not they actually want to eat , have time to eat , etc . I disagree . In a world where deceit is the norm , the statement I ' m hungry conveys what , exactly ? We can ' t assume it conveys anything , other than perhaps some ulterior motive . In a deceit based world , when someone says , I ' m hungry , one ' s logical response should be to try to figure out what they really want . And the question , do you want to eat ? would not be asked , as the answer would not provide any meaningful information to the question , except perhaps ulterior motive . In a world where deceit is the norm , the conversation probably can ' t even take place .
