When you are searching for a book to read, try this one by Princeton philosophy professor emeritus Harry G. Frankfurt. His 1986 essay "On bullshit." is now available as a small 67-page book.
"One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much [bull]. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted. Most people are rather confident of their ability to recognize [bull] and to avoid being taken in by it. So the phenomenon has not aroused much deliberate concern, nor attracted much sustained inquiry," said Frankfurt, in a New York Times interview.
