Anakin S Dec 26, 2017 Lying is a surprisingly human trait and there are many justifications and rationalizations. The documentary also highlights the way in which this aspect of behavior can have a massive impact on the economy so imagine what we can do if we take out the assumption that humans are rational? We should instead model policy to this type of research and study! See more
Draco R Feb 22, 2017 This is an interesting documentary about lying. Seems very relevant now, but it appears that everyone is doing it.
