I've given up calling out bullshit - there is way too much of it - so now I share anti-bullshit - like this guy - https://www.corbettreport.com/
i like him too. Problem with calling "Bull-Shit", is the ones that profited from it, are the true Bull-Shit artist.. & there is No Way Around Justice. I assure you. Got a few post up, and not one is "Bull-Shit" or false, or flowery, meant to assauge the people of guilt , responsibilty & Bull-Shit. Still "Truth" is a Solid foundation that few can stand upon.
So we should just walk away in the face of bullshit so to say?
Bullshit only affects me really when its supposed to be coming from a trusted source, where thousands or hundreds of thousands, just call it gospel and move on without the slightest chance of even a question about said information.
Without critical thinking the masses are just being programed.
9/11 comes to mind, that day changed my whole view on life.
I think we all need a bulls-t buzzer, great post thanks.
Gerald Celente has a B.S. Buzzer!!! #Trends in the news
thx!!! ALL the B.S. is getting easier to see, as the B.S. is everywhere. Like the post says, its getting tougher to know whether or not to engage in calling out the B.S...
I'm of the firm belief that most people you encounter everyday know very little about anything. If you live life thinking that nobody knows anything, you wont go searching for answers from other people and possibly run into B.S. Instead, you do your own searching and realize that you too (myself rather), know basically nothing. Haha, thanks for the post man!
And also, I watched "Into the Mind", what a breathtaking film. The quality of the film was superb and the cinematography was breathtaking. A huge thanks for the recommendation!
Culture is nothing more than an endless mount of bullshit.
We just happen to be standing on the outer layer... sniffing proudly ours while being disgusted with all the rest.
Epistemology. That's what we should all be working to improve. To the degree we can agree on which forms of epistemology work better than others for determining what actually is, the more progress we can make as a species.
I became a truth warrior in my mid twenties and agree with what you've written here. At first I lost a lot of friends because I refused to speak bull and wasn't experienced enough to keep my mouth shut. Slowly I noticed how pride set into my mind. Those years were so insightful! Years later I realized that even so I didn't verbalize bull, I was lying to myself and that there CAN be deceit in silence.
I learned that I could see bull better once I began practicing telling the Truth. Many times I was spared the consequences of people's reactions when answering a question - seemed to me that distractions would appear and save me from having to give an answer!
I spoke less and spoke more vaguely.
There were a lot of slogans that I was able to understand fully, like 'you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink'.
And yes, you are right, there is more responsibility as you learn these things. Isn't it enough to be an example?
These days, I speak more freely and catch myself using words like 'never' and 'always'. I stopped beating myself up over these errors decades ago and console myself that my spoken bull is unintentional (whether right or wrong). Thanks for your article!
