Eh… No.

I get the appeal, but lying is a sub-category of deception, and deception itself is a child of error.

Meaning deception is inherently something that the physics of reality allows.

In the most simplistic sense, the camouflage of moths that look like snakes, or a chameleon’s ability to change colour, is deception.

In that sense, deception is the ability to fool the sensors of a specific category of targets. It follows that detection is easier if you manage to identify a category of signals that the deceiver has not accounted for (and the detector can access).

Deception of this nature is critical for things like revolutions to occur. Without the ability to hide and blend in, the most dominant faction will always hold sway.

The rule of the dominant faction, even in a pure truth world, is an issue because errors and randomness exist.

You can have people witness an event and based on the physical position they occupied, perceive different things occurring.

Error and time pressure is sufficient to ensure that individuals and groups make suboptimal decisions, that lead to rule and domination based on erroneous information.

As long as error exists, deception will exist and so lying will exist.
