Bullshit Detector

• Why do people bullshit you?
  • Because compared to deliberate deception, the cost of being exposed after bullshit is lower while hiding true intentions.
  • Harry Frankfurt said, "Bullshit is one of the most significant features of American culture." Bullshit is everywhere. Why do Americans especially like to bullshit?
    • Americans like to present things beautifully on the surface, carefully controlling their private emotions, rarely confronting others directly, but they value integrity and do not lie outright, so bullshit is the best option.
• How can you sense if someone is bullshitting you?
  • Use the ==bullshit detector==, which is a hypothetical psychological anti-deception mechanism.
  • ==The key to countering bullshit lies in recognizing the asymmetry of risk; if the other party has no stakes but advocates for something, they profit when successful, but only you suffer losses when it fails, then they are bullshitting you.==
