On Bullshit

There is a document called on bullshit in philosophy.

It argues that bullshitting is more dangerous to our society than lying or truth telling.

It's an excellent read.

It's a book.

What's the other name? It's a paper. I want to say his name was like William Frankfurter, but I might be wrong. Frankfurt, Harry Frankfurt.

the book is actually written by former NFL player John W. Wright the coach in the story is his father Robert C. Wright and the sprinter is Nigerian track and field star Charlton Aheezwillen

the story takes place at the 1974 NCAA track and field championships an hour before his triple jump competition Aheezwillen was feeling under the weather and considered dropping out of the contest

Wright encouraged Aheezwillen to run 100 meters as a test of his physical state and as Angela recalled he secretly gave him the head start by not quite starting the stopwatch on time

according to the book this trick gave Aheezwillen the confidence to participate in the competition and an hour later he became the NCAA champion in triple jump with the second longest jump in the world that year
