Bullshit Is A Greater Enemy Of The Truth Than Lies Are.

The Bullshitter Is Neither On The Side Of The True Or The Side Of The False. His Eye Is Not On The Facts At All. He Does Not Reject The Authority Of The Truth, As The Liar Does, And Oppose Himself To It. He Pays No Attention To It At All. By Virtue Of This, Bullshit Is A Greater Enemy Of The Truth Than Lies Are.

I Was Raised In Brooklyn And In Baltimore. My Father Was A Bookkeeper. When I Was 36 Years Old, My Mother Told Me I Was Adopted.

Recognizing Truth Requires Selflessness. You Have To Leave Yourself Out Of It So You Can Find Out The Way Things Are In Themselves, Not The Way They Look To You Or How You Feel About Them Or How You Would Like Them To Be.

The Fact About Himself That The Liar Hides Is That He Is Attempting To Lead Us Away From A Correct Apprehension Of Reality; We Are Not To Know That He Wants Us To Believe Something He Supposes To Be False. The Fact About Himself That The Bullshitter Hides, On The Other Hand, Is That The Truth-values Of His Statements Are Of No Central Interest To Him . . . He Does Not Care Whether The Things He Says Describe Reality Correctly. He Just Picks Them Out, Or Makes Them Up, To Suit His Purpose.
