When is it morally sound to tell a lie?
When telling the truth endangers someone else. Notice I didn't say oneself. That would not be as morally sound.

Situational, it is.

I think it's also morally sound to lie to protect one's own safety.

I never believe people with that philosophy.

Are you the thing the decomposition happens to?

Alien arrives on Earth with his ray gun, determined to evaporate every human. Spotting me he asks, "are you a human?"

"No," I answer, my morality not in the slightest bit compromised. "I'm an aardvark."

I ALMOST mean that.
@fmf’s big question: “can I mean what I say?”

Nothing. A whole lot of nothing, for ever and ever.

Is the mind and brain the same thing?

Even if the mind knows better the brain and body can be fooled into reacting to something not real.

Mind is associated with the brain. The two terms are often used interchangeably. Brain is considered to be a physical thing, the mind is considered to be mental. The brain is composed of nerve cells and can be touched, whereas, the mind cannot be touched.

Might buy you a few minutes until they ask an aardvark what they are. For me this approach relies too heavily on alien's being unable to communicate with aardvarks. I'd be more inclined just to dodge the ray gun.
