To sum up
- Bullshit is everywhere, influential, and dangerous.
- Information turns into bullshit as easily as ice turns into water.
- Bullshit stops just short of a lie, mixing the integrity of the truth with the deceit of a lie in a way that leaves both the 'bullshiter' and his recipient feeling satisfied.
- Bullshit comes in countless forms, some harder to spot than others.
- False modesty, projecting, double standards, hypocrisy, tugging at heartstrings – these aren’t lies; they’re subtle forms of bullshit, which is why they’re so prevalent.
- Ignorance of your luck at the cost of misfortune of others.
