Re: The cost of lying to win (none / 1)

Hm. So I didn't knew the whole story, in all its versions. Here is the version with Szilárd saying it. I find the Hungarians=Martians urban legend is one we know the exact source of.

Youz could also read the English version of a longer exposé on the Hungarian Martians by a late professor of mine at the university.

Great catch.

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.
