Hey, this is your partially examined life nightcap or recording this on October 17,

2023, which means you're getting it very, very fresh hot off the presses.

We will post this along with part two of the on bullshit discussion as opposed to the following

one on Yasha Monks book that we've already recorded, but we should not talk about as an

after talk.

We'll have a part three to that later.

But I thought we were going to talk more about on bullshit.

So I had a couple more things.

She, a Cohen, he has an article deeper into bullshit, just the fact that Frankfurt

emphasizes the process, whereas Cohen emphasizes what it is.

So he says like, I'm not so much disagreeing with him as I'm picking out a different phenomenon.

So he shows, hey, what's the OED for bullshit?

Well, there's two definitions.

One of them is trivial or insincere talk or writing.

That's pretty much what Frankfurt's talking about.

The first one is just nonsense or rubbish.

And so he's wondering about the kind of thing that could be produced as bullshit.

Whatever the motives might be, and he actually explicitly, this is, I was kind of reading

this after the fact into Frankfurt, but connects this to continental philosophers who they might

have very good motives.
