This short little red book by late Harry G. Frankfurt was lurking on my bookshelf. Dating back to 2005, it called up to me on this New Year's Eve, as a possible means to better grasp what is going to happen in 2025, twenty years later.
Its main purpose is to give a precise scientific definition to the B word.
Its links to today's information, social media, and even scientific communication are numerous, and will be revealed through its reading.
One particularly striking example can be found in a IHE opinion paper by @maskull: 'On Bullshit' and AI. (https://www.insidehighered.com/opinion/views/2023/09/14/reflections-bullshit-and-generative-ai-opinion)
Happy New Year… and take care !
