Bravo, this is, quite possibly, the most morally chaotic (in the alignment chart context, [0]) comment I've seen on hacker news, much less in 3 words.
Off the top of my head, this can be a topic of discussion in Nash Equilibria/Tragedy of the Commons/Game Theory just from an economic lens.
I don't have any formal education in these fields, but I'm sure there are fields in general philosophy ("Given presumably others too have lied and done it, are genes of anxious liars actually better than that of an anxious honest person? But if they go ahead, don't they become a liar? Maybe their conscience makes them still a better person?") and medicine too ("Is honesty even inheritable? How significantly inheritable is anxiety? Does it even matter? - Because for example apparently almost 30% of all humans have a depressive episode. Maybe most humans already have the genes but it's just not expressed?)
I'm rambling a bit, but I just wanted to show how much 3 words could be expanded if someone wanted to analyse it thoroughly. Really love the comment.
(I don't personally condone lying but I do appreciate a good philosophical dilemma and discussion.)
