On Critical Thinking & Truth
“The bullshitter may not deceive us, or even intend to do so, with respect to the facts… what he does necessarily attempt to deceive us about is his enterprise.” (p. 54)
On Society & Sincerity
“Sincerity is bullshit. It is the attempt to find a substitute for the truth by looking inward rather than outward.” (p. 67)
