Document Summary
The main criticism of philosophy is that is unrelatable but frankfurt differs from this argument. Ex: donald trump"s claims that there where 3 million people at the inauguration when other people claim there where maybe 60,000. Although it seems like he"s wandering he actually stays on topic and you feel that there is missing pieces. Claim that he makes: bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than the lies are, the bullshiter is a greater enemy of the liar. Bullshit is speaking without regard to what the truth; doesn"t consider what is true or false; bullshit may not be false a lot of it can happen to be true (such as bullshitting an exam) Lying has regard to falsehood/the truth paying some mind to them unlike bullshit. When someone is bullshitting they disregard the truth. The bullshitter tries to find what is the truth and they have to make you believe.
