On Bullshit

By: Harry G Frankfurt

Finished: 1/25/2024

What’s it about:  A philosophical work to try to describe what Bullshit is and is not. 

Main Takeaway:  I wouldn’t read it again and philosophical texts and pretty boring.  I mean, they take a simple topic and attack it at every possible angle, with 10 sentences dedicated to the difference between a “falsehood” and “bullshit”.  We get it, get on with it.  

That said, if you’re into that kind of thing or ever need a short guide on writing something like this, go ahead.  The book (short essay) was kinda bullshit.
