"Beyerstein explores Trump’s relationship with the truth through the lens
of philosopher Harry Frankfurt’s classic paper “On Bullshit,” in which
he argues that the hallmark of bullshit is an indifference to the truth.
A liar knows the truth and takes pains to misrepresent it convincingly,
but a bullshitter casually mixes fact and fiction because, for him, the
truth is beside the point."
Harry Frankfurt, Donald Trump, and Indifference to Truth
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
