Essay by the great Neil Postman on Bullshit. Postman’s Third Law: “At any given time, the chief source of Bullshit with which you have to contend is yourself.” An idealist usually cannot acknowledge his own bullshit, because it is in the nature of his “ism” that he must pretend it does not exist. In fact, I should say that anyone who is devoted to an “ism”–Fascism, Communism, Capital-ism–probably has a seriously defective crap-detector...Another way of saying this is that all ideologies are saturated with bullshit
