The fun part is when it’s important you have the right information to make a decision. Eg Russia to invade Ukraine and all top generals claim they can do it in 2 weeks. Similar for a corporation with layers of middle management deception and self promotion, I don’t know how executives make decisions but it must be RNG basically, because it certainly isn’t fact.

Lying at scale is basically information noise.

If you don't lie enough, if you are not sycophantic enough, then no promotion or worst, purged.

I can easily see how such a hierarchy would reproduce ... until it fails so bad it can't.
