“I enjoyed the flair in Harry G. Frankfurt's writing and admired his attempt at omitting all the bullshit in his essay, even though he admits, that even in his sincere attempt, his essay is most likely just bullshit too.
His most salient point is noting that bullshitters and liars are not one and the same. The liars respect the truth, whereas bullshitters don't often have a concern for the truth, they only care about how they appear to others and will therefore shit out whatever they can to engage those who are willing to listen.
It's almost a trait of either the insecure and the bold and ignorant.
As a person involved in the industry he mentioned to be the most deep in bullshit (advertising and marketing), I definitely recognized the bullshit in myself and will aim to think before just warming up the air with my vapor to appease those I talk with.
This review is probably bullshit too.”
