It is just this lack of connection to a concern with truth -- this indifference to how things really are -- that I regard as the essence of bullshit. ... The bullshitter ... 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 G. Frankfurt (On Bullshit (2005))
