It is just this lack of connection to a concern with truth—this indifference to how things really are—that I regard as of the essence of bullshit.

bullshit also has deeper sources, in various forms of skepticism which deny that we can have any reliable access to an objective reality, and which therefore reject the possibility of knowing how things truly are.
