On Bullshit (1986) [pdf]

• widdma 11y ago
  A great essay. Although I found this pdf a bit hard to read. This version has better typesetting: http://www.stoa.org.uk/topics/bullshit/pdf/on-bullshit.pdf http://www.stoa.org.uk/topics/bullshit/pdf/on-bullshit.pdf

      I keep a copy of this on my desk. When people start smelling like it's about to leak out in the middle of conversation, I'll casually pick it up and flip through the pages. It seems to work ;)

  Unfortunately the subject of the text precludes me from reading it...

  It's a great essay, no question. And I love the conclusion! It's somewhat self-referential, but in a playful way. One could add an extended riff on hypothesis generation, but maybe that would be superfluous.

  I have this on the shelf. Excellent scholarship, through and through.
