Bullshitting Quotes

“I am a master at bullshitting.”
― Julie Kagawa, Legion

“This generation, on top of completely living up to the ‘entitled’ label it’s best known for, also apparently thinks it invented the art of bullshitting, or at least can bring it to dazzling new heights.”
― A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

“...it's advantageous to recognize how we often rely on bullshitting when we feel compelled to talk about things we don't understand. Frankfurt explains how the widespread conviction that many of us share about needing to comment or weigh in on every single issue around the globe leads to increased levels of BS.”
― Brené Brown, Braving the Wilderness

“For most of us, even if the 'with us or against us' mandate sounds a little like oversimplified BS, it still feels easier and safer to pick a side. The argument is set up in a way that there's only one real option. If we stay quiet we're automatically demonized as 'the other.”
― Brené Brown, Braving the Wilderness

“Last, Frankfurt aruges that the contemporary spread of bullshit also has a deeper source: our being skeptical and denying that we can ever know the truth of how things truly are. He argues that when we give up on believing that there are actual truths that can be known and shared observable knowledge, we give up on the notion of objective inquiry. It's like we just collectively shrug our shoulder and say, "Whatever. It's too hard to get to the truth, so if I say it's true, that's good enough.”
― Brené Brown, Braving the Wilderness
