From Harry G. Frankfurt’s On Bullshit
In consequence, we have no clear understanding of what bullshit is, why there is so much of it, or what functions it serves. And we lack a conscientiously developed appreciation of what it means to us. In other words, we have no theory.
We may not have a theory but we sure have evidence of it and, I, for one, am sick of it. I’ve reached my bullshit quota for the year and hereby declare that I am done with bullshit for 2007.
