If you get your following to believe one critical, hopeful lie, e.g. you've solved an important problem that you haven't, you can keep their attention and your status by predicting and promising the future based on the believed lie. When they doubt, just tell them they need to believe your lies harder and shame them for questioning it.
but why / for what? how can one get peaceful sleep if you need to keep coming up with more lies.
