Does honesty really get you anywhere?

Get real. Assuming you have the capable intelligence to be dishonest in a practical and secure way it is obviously an advantage. The only advantage of being honest is you may feel better about yourself. Dishonesty can lead to risky situations, especially in the future when certain untruths are remembered (I’m talking about more than just cheating on tests).However, assuming you can manage all of that from a practical point, it is definitely beneficial to be dishonest. It might break morals, but all morals are is a fabrication of the human nature and a desire for how you would like to be treated, thus sensing that is how you should treat others. There are no morals for animals. If some animal evolved to the point of the intelligence of a human (or near) at what point do they magically acquire morals? Morals are perspective and nothing real.
