- aspaceman 6y agoHard disagree. A bullshit artist is a good storyteller because they tell you exactly what you want to hear. The best storytellers can change your mind.
- Wistar 6y agoI've seen both. I had a manager who was a mesmerizing storyteller but was really full of bullshit and I have watched the even more mesmerizing Brian Greene who is not full of bullshit.
- TheCowboy 6y agoDoes he provide any evidence for this assertion in his book or is this just an opinion? Because he frequently plays the role of bullshit artist on Twitter where it's hard to take him as a credible intellectual anymore.
