– Harry Frankfurt
In On Bullshit, the philosopher Frankfurt (2005) defines bullshit as something that is designed to impress but that was constructed absent direct concern for the truth. This distinguishes bullshit from lying, which entails a deliberate manipulation and subversion of truth (as understood by the liar).
Although bullshit is common in everyday life and has attracted attention from philosophers, its reception (critical or ingenuous) has not, to our knowledge, been subject to empirical investigation. Here we focus on pseudo-profound bullshit, which consists of seemingly impressive assertions that are presented as true and meaningful but are actually vacuous.

Är den omedvetna spridaren av skenbart sann information utan ansvar?
JM
Ansvar? Ansvar för vad? Menar du moraliskt ansvar eller kollektivt ansvar eller solidariskt ansvar i civilrätt eller strikt ansvar i skadeståndsrätt innefattande skadeståndsansvar oberoende av om uppsåt eller oaktsamhet förelegat. Eller kanske alla dessa ansvarsbegrepp samtidigt med extrema straffpåföljder som avskräckande exempel.
