"On Bullshit"

"On Bullshit" by Harry G. Frankfurt was a delightful read about simply "bullshit." As we are all well aware of bullshit is always around us in one form or another. Many people bullshit about their weekends, who they are dating or the type of job they actually hold. Frankfurt explains that "bullshit" is the misrepresentation...of somebody's own thoughts, feelings, or attitudes. (pg. 12) When "bullshitting" a person misrepresents anything, in turn misrepresenting his own state of mind. If you believe the "bullshit" it must be true, but in actuality it also could be a lie. One quote in particular that I have heard before is "never tell a lie when you can bullshit your way through." It shows that people are more comfortable hearing "bullshit" then somebody lying." Individuals use "bullshit" as a sort of bluff, do you have the courage to call me out on what I just said.
