http://www.pupress.princeton.edu/titles/7929.htmlOne of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted. Most people are rather confident of their ability to recognize bullshit and to avoid being taken in by it. So the phenomenon has not aroused much deliberate concern. We have no clear understanding of what bullshit is, why there is so much of it, or what functions it serves. And we lack a conscientiously developed appreciation of what it means to us. In other words, as Harry Frankfurt writes, "we have no theory."
this such a little book, 4” X 6” and about a ¼” thick. And a bitch to read. My college sophomore education just don’t give me the skills I need to make much headway.
But I am going to keep trying cause I just realized that is what we have in the oval office. A bullshit artist.
