Politics
How can you tell when a politician is lying? Their lips are moving, or at least, that's what the old joke says. There's a lot more to politics than lying, though. You can use rhetoric to engineer your speeches to be convincing and back your arguments up with statistics. Then once you've been elected (provided the election wasn't hacked), you can subtly encourage the public to change their behaviour through 'nudge theory'.
