On Bullshit
An emanent professor of philosophy at Princeton recently published a short book/long essay entitled "On Bullshit". I read the first few pages of it in a bookstore recently and it's extremely interesting. I'll be able to finish reading it when I get in on hold from the library in a few days. Here's an intriguing interview with the author:

His description of the "bullshitter" actually reminds me a lot of Leeor. Nevertheless, he has an incisive and compelling argument.
Anyone remember a certain person named Greg Howard or "Howie" as we (some of his unfortunate acquaintances) so affectionately called him. If not I can elaborate, but I hope that that will be enough.
