It seems there are different kinds of bullshit.


Some bullshit is like Enrico's Parable.

Some is extremely harmful.


Might we want to distinguish between the two?

Brief recap on how we got here

Bullshit was compared, unfavourably, to meaningful

Meaningful was ruled out as being just more bullshit

Some bullshit was deemed harmful and some not so

ergo - bullshit = bad and bullshit = good

conclusion  - 'bullshit' isn't really much use as a word in this context

Who am I to say?

But, since you ask, maybe a new terminology should be adopted.

(seems to happen a lot round here - when metaphors collide)

Maybe, but someone has to start a possible sticky thread discussing the different forms of bullshit. I hate having to parenthesize every time I say "bullshit" because of the many meanings of the word.

BTW, bullshit is a good word.

Yeah but it's so popular the definition has become blurred. Needs context.
