It is impossible for someone to lie unless he thinks he knows the truth. Producing bullshit requires no such conviction. A person who lies is thereby responding to the truth, and he is to that extent respectful of it. When an honest man speaks, he says only what he believes to be true; and for the liar, it is correspondingly indispensable that he considers his statements to be false. For the bullshitter, however, all these bets are off: he is neither on the side of the true nor on the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all, as the eyes of the honest man and of the liar are, except insofar as they may be pertinent to his interest in getting away with what he says. 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.

is this about the astrology thread

lol @ the astrology joke.. poor px!

I know as long as I keep myself in purest and simplest in actions the path then is but truth...

and truth continually unfolds itself to me and the lies of others diminish and their veil of lies drops.

truth, as in "men are pigs"?

Well? Can they be? I believe women can be also.

Is truth for me. Who for centuries have been at the base of patriarchal destruction causing war, grief, hunger and other societal problems? The roots of "thinking" in positions in power...ummm...men.

Behind a dictator, usually there is a woman fully supporting him, mostly because she wants to keep her collection of 200 pair of shoes.

Well? Can they be? I believe women can be also.

Is truth for me. Who for centuries have been at the base of patriarchal destruction causing war, grief, hunger and other societal problems? The roots of "thinking" in positions in power...ummm...men.

Men are pigs, women are pigs, pigs are pigs, you go girl, tell it like it is.

That's a lovely poem, Ced.
