The Concept Of Bullshit
By Leo Gura - June 29, 2025
Bullshit is a philosophical concept distinct from lying. It’s a great concept for this internet 2.0/3.0 era we’re in.
A liar knows what’s true. A bullshitter doesn’t know what’s true and doesn’t care what’s true. A bullshitter lives life like truth doesn’t exist and anything goes. To a bullshitter truth is just whatever is most convenient to say in the moment. This is the kind of human I despise the most. I loathe a bullshitter more than a murderer. Because in a certain sense bullshitters do more damage than murderers — the damage is more insidious and corrosive. They infect and degrade culture, values, ethics, intelligence. These are parasites on intelligence.

A great question to answer yourself when dealing with or listening to anyone is: Is this person a bullshitter? And if they are, stop listening to them. Do not respond seriously to bullshitters. Treat bullshitters as unserious people unworthy of your attention. Do not debate or debunk a bullshitter. Merely point out their immaturity, pervertry, and unseriousness. Learn to identify bullshitters quickly.
Prime examples of bullshitters:
- Donald Trump
- Alex Jones
