- narag 7y agoOr, you know, avoid spreading bullshit, so you won't feel guilt when they believe you or shame when they find out :)
- dr_dshiv 7y agoOr deliberately bullshit as much as possible so that people develop critical thinking skills :)
- narag 7y agoLOL, some friends of mine do this. Aaaall the time.
- inflatableDodo 7y agoWhile occaisionally talking about things that are not bullshit but sound exceedingly like it, just to keep people on their toes. The ongoing research into quantum time crystals is a particularly good topic for this.
- eridius 7y agoSo people are supposed to accurately detect bullshit without ever confirming it with a reputable source?
- inflatableDodo 7y agoThey are not supposed to expect accurate information from social conversations.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoMaybe they should avoid conversations that don't lead to accurate information instead? I can forgive lack of precision (especially when qualified), but knowingly giving another person inaccurate information is an act of sabotage.
- inflatableDodo 7y ago>knowingly giving another person inaccurate information is an act of sabotage. But I don't know any accurate information.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoMy advice would be to simply don't hang out too much with people who believe in bullshit. People who look things up on their phones are mostly fine; they have a healthy habit. (IME, people who complain about others having their phones out tend to be insensitive and disrespectful. The scenario I usually see is such a person happily getting their fill of social media, putting their device away, and then imposing themselves on someone else and expecting them to drop everything they were doing and engage in a conversation.)
