Most liars care enough about the truth to try to conceal it. But simply not caring either way is a different vice, one that American philosopher Harry Frankfurt defined as bullshitting.

Tim Kenyon is a professor in the humanities department at Brock University and he joins us today on the podcast. <from Mar 2025>
