普林斯顿大学哲学系教授提供的思路，能帮助我们理解川普比骗子更危险。骗子至少还把谎言包装成真相

 

川普的胡扯，连假装真相的努力都免了，所有的人眼睁睁看到的是：他丝毫不在意真相，他只在乎谁忠于他。

 

"Trump’s tactics, in a different context, would be understood as typical authoritarian propaganda — regimes often propound nonsense more to enforce expectations on their citizens than because they are expecting anyone to actually believe it. The United States isn’t the kind of place where that can work. There’s a free and vibrant press and political debate operating wholly outside the world of Trump’s bullshit. But by filling the heads of his fans — and the media outlets they consume — with a steady diet of bullshit, Trump is nonetheless succeeding in endlessly reinscribing polarization in American politics, corroding America’s governing institutions, and poisoning civic life.

 

Harry Frankfurt’s theory of bullshit

 

As Frankfurt put it in his groundbreaking essay On Bullshit, 'one of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit.'

 

Frankfurt attempts to give the term definition that distinguishes the bullshitter from the liar, with the most salient distinction being that the liar is genuinely trying to trick you.

 

This is just how Frankfurt defines bullshit:

 

'For the bullshitter, however, all these bets are off: he is neither on the side of the true nor on the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all, as the eyes of the honest man and of the liar are, except insofar as they may be pertinent to his interest in getting away with what he says. He does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly. He just picks them out, or makes them up, to suit his purpose.'"
