One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit.

Bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.

As a philosopher, I'm not obliged to explore every unknown wilderness.

The bullshitter is neither on the side of the true or the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all. He does not reject the authority of the truth, as the liar does, and oppose himself to it. He pays no attention to it at all. By virtue of this, bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.

It is impossible for someone to lie unless he thinks he knows the truth. Producing bullshit requires no such conviction.

It is only because a person has volitions of the second order that he is capable both of enjoying and of lacking freedom of the will.

There are significant relationships, of course, between wanting things and caring about them..The notion of caring is in large part constructed out of the notion of desire. Caring about something may be, in the end, nothing more than a certain complex mode of wanting it. However, simply attributing desire to a person does not in itself convey that the person cares about the object he desires.
