The Enemy of Truth – Harry Gordon Frankfurt
“The bullshitter is neither on the side of the true or the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all. He does not reject the authority of the truth, as the liar does, and oppose himself to it. He pays no attention to it at all. By virtue of this, bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.”
Harry Gordon Frankfurt

Harry Gordon Frankfurt on Liar and Bullshitter
“The fact about himself that the liar hides is that he is attempting to lead us away from a correct apprehension of reality; we are not to know that he wants us to believe something he supposes to be false. The fact about himself that the bullshitter hides, on the other hand, is that the truth-values of his statements are of no central interest to him . . . He does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly. He just picks them out, or makes them up, to suit his purpose.”
Harry Gordon Frankfurt

Bernardo Kastrup
Bernardo Kastrup on Modern Substitute Gods
“We now find our gods not on the altar, but in the bottle of alcohol, the football match on television, the new pair of shoes and the arms of the casual lover.”

Political Powerlessness of the Majority – Prof. Rainer Mausfeld
“70% of the population — namely the lower 70% on the income and wealth scale — have absolutely no influence on political decisions. Yes, it is no wonder that the population sinks into apathy and lethargy and then seeks refuge in some political positions with an ugly face, hoping that through them they can regain some influence at all.”
Prof. Rainer Mausfeld
