But perhaps we shouldnt be so tolerant of it. BS is not only deceptive but also contributes to the decay of public discourse. Its emptiness, its meaninglessness crowd out substantive discussion. It directs attention to the trivial as much as the false, and it dumbs us down. Unlike the lie, BS derives its effectiveness from the way it says nothing while appearing to say something profound. How RIGHT this is!
