It\u2019s constructed in order to appear meaningful, though on closer examination, it isn\u2019t. And bullshit isn\u2019t the same as lying. A liar knows the truth but makes statements deliberately intended to sell people on falsehoods. bullshitters, in contrast, aren\u2019t concerned about what\u2019s true or not, so much as they\u2019re trying to appear as if they know what they\u2019re talking about. In that sense, bullshitting can be thought of as a verbal demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger effect\u2014when people speak from a position of disproportionate confidence about their knowledge relative to what little they actually know, bullshit is often the result.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>donotdestroy: The Psychology of Bullshit \u201cSo bullshitting isn\u2019t just nonsense. &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12749],"tags":[759,760,761,582,655,1367,726,1235,752,667,741,666,705,753,755,754,704,3,617,2984,3683,2255,727],"class_list":["post-10175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tumblr","tag-ai","tag-ai-art","tag-ai-artist","tag-art","tag-artist","tag-awareness","tag-bullshit","tag-consciousness","tag-creative","tag-fake","tag-influencer","tag-lie","tag-mind","tag-nft","tag-nft-art","tag-nft-artist","tag-psychology","tag-quote-of-the-day","tag-quotes","tag-self-awareness","tag-self-conscious","tag-self-realization","tag-truth"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
