Serious question
I don't think they can even comprehend it. It's over is a meme nowOut of sight, out of mind. They don't see us suffering, so we might as well not exist.
Excellently putDuring our evolution it was very important to a) remain part of the tribe and b) climb the social ranks. We were selected more for fitting in with the group than for truthseeking. AFAIK human intelligence exploded not as a result of us interacting with some challenge against nature, but because of the internal political conflict within human groups / tribes.
Your really strong big alpha humanoid makes the group unhappy and two other males conspire to bash his head in when he sleeps. Once a certain kind of intelligence is reached, just being strong isn't enough anymore, you need to play the social games to survive. And those social games require planning and thinking ahead and guessing what others are gonna do and how they will react. And lying, of course.
Those were the conditions for which our brains were selected for. Not truth finding or honest intellectual debate.
Ones it is established that a lie is high status, that you have to go along with it to be accepted within the group, this part of our nature expresses itself fully.
