Donald Trump ist bekannt dafür, die seltsamsten Dinge zu behaupten. Migranten essen die Katzen und Hunde der Amerikaner. Kanada soll der 51. Bundesstaat der USA werden und der Gazastreifen zur glamourösen Riviera. Das Problem dabei: Das alles sind keine Lügen, es ist Bullshit. Nein, «Bullshit» ist keine Beleidigung, sondern ein Fachwort aus der Philosophie. Geprägt hat es der amerikanische Philosoph Harry G. Frankfurt mit seinem gleichnamigen Buch und zwar schon 2006. Also lange vor Donald Trump. Wer lügt, sagt Harry G. Frankfurt, behauptet bewusst etwas Falsches oder Unwahres. Beim Bullshit ist das anders: Das Wesen des Bullshits, sagt er, «liegt nicht darin, dass er falsch ist, sondern dass er gefälscht ist». Der Bullshitter interessiert sich gar nicht für die Wahrheit oder Falschheit seiner Aussagen, sondern nur für ihre Wirkung. Trump ist ein begnadeter Bullshitter. Andere tun es ihm gleich. Lügner lassen sich durch einen Faktencheck überführen. Bei Bullshittern nützt das nichts: Die Wahrheit ist ihnen und ihren Anhängern egal. Verschlimmert wird das Problem des Bullshits durch die Algorithmen, welche die sozialen und mittlerweile auch viele journalistische Medien aussteuern. Auch da geht es nicht mehr um Wahrheit, sondern nur noch um Wirkung. Ich sage Ihnen deshalb diese Woche, wie Sie Bullshit erkennen und was Sie dagegen tun können.Matthias Zehnder ist Autor und Medienwissenschaftler in Basel.

This is our unabridged interview with Meghan Sullivan.What does it mean to live a good life, and how do we start? On our show, we make it a habit of repeating our tagline: “Exploring what it means to live a good life.” But in this episode, we address the issue head-on, with the help of Notre Dame Professor of Philosophy Meghan Sullivan. We discuss her book “The Good Life Method,” which gives helpful insight about the kinds of questions philosophers and theologians have been asking for millennia: What does it mean to pursue a life worth living? What sort of end ought we keep in mind in all our doing and living and being? And how might we get there?

Im Jahr 1986 veröffentlichte Harry Frankfurt erstmals seinen Essay "On Bullshit" oder einfach nur "Bullshit" (in der Deutschen Ausgabe). Dort beschreibt er ein Phänomen, das weit verbreitet, aber bislang nur wenig untersucht ist. Florian von Durchblick Philosophie und ich haben uns anlässlich der US-Wahl und der Beteilligung des großen Bullshitters Donald Trump mit Frankfurts Text beschäftigt. Wir gehen ihn Stück für Stück durch und besprechen ihn anhand zahlreicher Beispiele nicht nur aus der US-Politik. Wollt ihr uns unterstützen?

„Zu den auffälligsten Merkmalen unserer Kultur gehört die Tatsache, dass es so viel Bullshit gibt.“ Das ist jedenfalls die These von Harry G. Frankfurts Buch über „Bullshit“. In Medien, Werbung, PR und vor allem in der Politik rollt eine unaufhaltsame Welle von Bullshit auf uns zu, nicht zuletzt im US-Wahlkampf, der gerade in die Endphase tritt. Aber was genau ist Bullshit? Warum ist er gefährlich und warum gibt es so viel davon? Darum geht es in der heutigen Episode. Für meine allererste Duo-/Crossover-Folge habe ich mich mit Daniel Brockmeier zusammengetan, um mir einen Überblick über das Bullshit-Feld zu verschaffen. Quellen Harry G.

Když v roce 2005 vyšel v češtině útlý spis Bullshit od amerického filozofa Harry G. Frankfurta, překladatel převedl titul jako „sračka“. Uplynulo skoro dvacet let a slovo bylo mezitím i počeštěno. František Koukolík, který vydal knihu na stejné téma v roce 2021, již mohl spoléhat na obeznámenost a knihu nazval Bulšit. Sám fakt, že se obrat v češtině tak zabydlel, poukazuje k potřebě uchopit fenomén, který se svou všudypřítomností jeví jako obzvláště dotíravý. Ostatně Harry G. Frankfurt začíná svou stať poukazem na vzestup bulšitu. Lidé se stále častěji živí slovem, a tudíž někoho o něčem přesvědčují. Sem vstupuje výrazný sklon k „bulšitování“, které nesouvisí s nevzdělaností, to už spíše převzdělaností, jak ukazuje ve své knize František Koukolík. Přesvědčují akademici při podávání grantů, novináři při psaní komentářů, nakonec i kněz v kostele. Cenné je rozlišení na bulšit a lež. Bulšit dává najevo okázalou lhostejnost k pravdivosti. Může být pravdivý i nepravdivý. Bulšiter se zajímá především o to, jak sám působí: bude tedy užívat vzletné fráze, vznešená slova, bude se taky často nořit do složitosti. Naopak lež realitu popírá, což lháři dodává důstojnost: lhář se s realitou musel potýkat, bulšiter nikoli. Pro Frankfurta je tedy bulšit spíše na straně umění, lež na straně řemesla. Autorka Tereza Matějčková se v novém díle svého podcastu zabývá negativním hodnocením bulšitu. Některé aspekty, které Harry Frankfurt žvanění připisuje, nemusejí být vnímány tak kriticky. Bulšit má sklon k experimentátorství. Frankfurt v této souvislosti zmiňuje tlachání v hospodě, kde si lidé „užívají svou nezodpovědnost“. Takoví diskutéři hází na stůl tvrzení, která nemíní argumentačně obhájit. Frankfurt toto hospodské rokování, které se dnes nejspíše přesunulo na sociální sítě a které označuje jako „bullshit session“, považuje za synonymum nepoctivosti. Je však otázka, jestli se i skrze toto bulšitování, tedy zkusmé nahazování tezí, nelze – v konfrontaci s kritikou, ke které může snad i v hospodě nebo na sociálních sítích dojít – dobrat něčeho podstatného nebo se třeba aspoň o něco posunout v poznání. Nadužívání slova bulšit v sobě nese ještě jedno nebezpečí. Nedoceníme, že v případě žvanění jde o možná odvrácenou, ale zcela jistě nepominutelnou stranu demokracie. Platí-li svoboda slova, má člověk nárok na formulování neexpertních stanovisek, ke kterým se sám podle svých sil dobral. Dokonce by to mělo být považováno za žádoucí, alespoň v případě, že snad zatím ještě žijeme v demokracii, ne v expertokracii. I. Proč ten nárůst bulšitu? [začátek až 21:15] II.

Le hubiera gustado seguir hablando del azar y del amor, que es lo que define al fútbol y, concretamente, al Real Madrid, pero España tiene Gobierno y lo grave se impuso. Bueno, Gobierno, “muro y 22 ministerios”, como ajustadamente lo ha definido Daniel Gascón. No se entiende cómo la prensa socialdemócrata vive en vilo por que hayan salido electos Milei en Argentina o Wilders en Holanda, cuando en el mismo Ejecutivo español está inserto el extremo envilecido, sin ir más lejos dos ministros que no condenaron el ataque de Hamás del 7 de octubre. La posibilidad de que Europa nos salve queda clara al examinar en qué quedaron las euroórdenes dictadas contra los prófugos por el juez Pablo Llarena. Y, por supuesto, en el lamentable debate del Parlamento Europeo, donde un fenómeno que ataca el corazón mismo de la Unión fue, como siempre ha sido, despachado como un asunto interno. Se recomendó ir a Rural, a solazarse en la felicidad, como en todos los restaurantes de Rafa Zafra y a diferencia de El Bulli, donde uno iba a probar y ser probado. Y fue así que Espada yiró.
