“So bullshitting isn’t just nonsense. It’s constructed in order to appear meaningful, though on closer examination, it isn’t. And bullshit isn’t the same as lying. A liar knows the truth but makes statements deliberately intended to sell people on falsehoods. bullshitters, in contrast, aren’t concerned about what’s true or not, so much as they’re trying to appear as if they know what they’re talking about. In that sense, bullshitting can be thought of as a verbal demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger effect—when people speak from a position of disproportionate confidence about their knowledge relative to what little they actually know, bullshit is often the result.”

How to come up with a new creative idea?
Coming up with new ideas can be a challenging but rewarding process. Here are a few tips that may help you generate creative ideas:
- Keep an open mind: Try not to dismiss ideas too quickly and stay open to new and unconventional ideas.
- Take breaks: Step away from your work and give yourself time to relax and let your mind wander. This can help spark new ideas.
- Seek out new experiences: Exposing yourself to new people, cultures, and experiences can help stimulate creativity and inspire new ideas.
- Collaborate with others: Working with a group of people can lead to a greater diversity of ideas and perspectives.
- Use brainstorming techniques: Brainstorming is a popular method for generating ideas in which a group of people come together to generate as many ideas as possible, without evaluating them.
- Ask “what if” questions: Asking questions such as “what if we did this differently?” or “what if we combined these two ideas?” can help stimulate new ideas.
- Keep a journal: Writing down your ideas as they come to you can help you capture and later review and expand upon them.
Remember, coming up with new ideas is a process and it may take some time and effort. It’s important to be patient and persistent, and not to get discouraged if you don’t have a great idea right away.

Why Do Narcissists Play the Victim?
“Why a narcissist plays the victim depends on the situation and the type of narcissism they live with. Playing the victim or feeling like a victim may stem from lower self-esteem, low empathy, or a need for control. In every case, because NPD is a mental health condition, this behavior is linked to the symptoms that define the disorder and not to a personal choice.”

“In a recent Ditch the Label study, we spoke to 7,347 people about bullying. We asked respondents to define bullying and then later asked if, based on their own definition, they had ever bullied anybody. 14% of our overall sample, so that’s 1,239 people, said yes. What we then did was something that had never been done on this scale before; we asked them intimate questions about their lives, exploring things like stress and trauma, home lives, relationships and how they feel about themselves.”

“Ask yourself: what does your toaster want? How about your dog? Or the bacteria in your gut? What about the pixels on the screen you’re reading off now—how is their day going? In other words, do things, animals, and other non-human entities experience their existence in a way that lies outside our own species-centric definition of consciousness? It’s precisely this questions that the nascent philosophical movement known as Object-Oriented Ontology (arising from ὄντος, the Greek word for “being,” and known to the cool kids as OOO) is attempting to answer or at least seriously pose, and they’re setting certain segments of the art world on fire.”
