Philosophical analysis critiques definitions of bullshit, highlighting its role in artificial reality, suggesting complex implications.
This epistula corresponds perfectly to its title in both letter and spirit. It criticizes the batch of semi-normative definitions of bullshit by revealing its commanding position within artificial reality. However, it reinforces those definitions. The epistula commits perhaps every single cataloged bullshitter’s crime against the whole holy family of truths. It argues for both the unnecessity and the inevitability of truth, rendering itself contingently useless to the respected proponents of bullshit normativising.
