Learnings:
To discern a bullshitter (someone who appears to know a lot) from one who actually knows a lot, you can:
- Ask a hard honest question, like a naive child's question, and see if a person gets stumped. And if they admit to being stuck, they can extricate themselves from being a bullshitter by how they handle the situation. If they display humility, then their integrity belongs to the class of wisdom.
- Use Grey Thinking, or think in probabilities, not certainties
- Ask “Is this actually the case?” and not “Could this be the case?”
