Humans evolved through the success of the bonded community, not as individuals. Rejection from the affectively bonded community was and is tantamount to death by execution. All else might be sacrificed to avoid such rejection and isolation with the curse of a slow death in alienation. Those who did not make the great sacrifices to maintain affective bonding did not survive and did not reproduce their own kind. We are the descendants of those who were willing to make sacrifices to maintain affective bonding and it is our instinct to do so. Thus we fear affective rejection, isolation and death by affective deprivation. What provided assurance of survival in the environment dominated by other predatory animals, now threatens to assure the extinction of our species when we are our own worst threat. The techniques used to assure affective bonding and retention, now have become techniques which often lead to mutual manipulation, alienation and affective rejection. When dishonesty is used as a manipulative technique to maintain affective bonding, it guarantees the failure of technology by preventing technology from achieving its goal; the goal of affective bonding. Dishonesty undermines affective bonding. Inter- personal manipulation designed to prevent manipulative rejection often leads to manipulative rejection. Inter- personal deception designed to assure acceptance, does the opposite and leads to rejection in instances where love is absent; i.e., in virtually all instances where people are inclined to use inter-personal deception to attempt to achieve affective acceptance.
