Most people are rather confident of their ability to recognize bullshit and to avoid being taken in by it.

In consequence, we have no clear understanding of what bullshit is, why there is so much of it, or what functions it serves.

If I was on stage in front of 300 people instead of 30, I had to work harder at my performances because I had a greater responsibility. It was very exciting, but creative too.
