if there is one thing chatgpt has opened my eyes to, it is that we live in a world teeming with BS. In particular, philosophical essays and books are full of it.

It seemingly makes sense, because, we contort the narrative to squeeze meaning out of it. But a skeptical eye sees no coherence.

For example, this passage:

"We grow, we heal, we are reborn. Nothing is impossible. The galaxy is bursting with chaos-driven reactions. You and I are storytellers of the world."

Surely, all of us can squeeze meaning out of this passage, but it is actually produced by this BS generator: https://sebpearce.com/bullshit/

If there is anything that should be taught in schools, it is the triumph of the reason in the forms of math/science thinking - over all the BS narratives that abound - only because, that kind of thinking is unnatural, whereas stream of consciousness BS comes naturally to us.
