Industries / Sectors Buoyant Upon "Untruths" / "Injustice"?

DormouseAtRest_25

Autistic people can tend to have their "fact, truth and justice" circuits dialled-up extra high compared to some people.

I saw this and thought about it slightly differently:

"If all humans suddenly lost the ability to lie, what industry would collapse first".

My version might be:

"If all humans suddenly lost the ability to lie, which industries would collapse LAST?"

(I am thinking about: which industries / workplaces better suit Autistic / Neurodivergent people - those people who may be less impacted by the "lost ability to lie" scenario - those sectors where the extra representation / proportion of Autistic / Neurodivergent workforce would help to insulate those sectors / industries / firms / public sector organisations from the full impact of such an hypothetical human ability deficit occurrence).

Which would be your guess; for the top 3 sectors LEAST likely to fail in the event of all humans suddenly having lost the ability to lie (partly due to the potentially stabilising presence of an above average workforce representation by Autistic / Neurodivergent people)?

Basically, even though our Autistic community employment rate seems to tend to oscillate around the 30% territory - in which sectors do we actually tend to be employed?

    I disagree about alternative medicine, when I first started counselling it was seen as an alternative medicine and many doctors couldn't see the point of talking about things or what good it would do, now "talking therapies" are mainstream. I take some herbs that come under the title alternative medicine, like Curcumin tablets, I tried not taking them a couple of months back and within days I could barely move, greek sage for menopausal symptoms is another example, my consultant recommended it as it works on the bodies thermostat rather than on hormones so it's OK for women with hormone sensitive cancers. A lot of so called alternative therapies do work they've just not had all the triple blind testing required for them to be called a "medicine" and given out by the NHS, the triple blind testing is prohibitively expensive for many herbal rememdy manufacturers, I think it's one of the ways big pharma keep us in hock.

    I think the problem with lying disapearing would be that often people lie to themselves about things, they genuinely believe something to be true and don't know how to ask questions.

    I was asked somethng similar a few days ago and I said that if I could wave a magic wand and get tid of one human trait, it would be greed, I think that would really change societies motivations and value systems and would probably drastically reduce the number of wars and conflicts we have.
