Download The B.S. Factor: The Theory and Technique of Faking It in America AudioBook Free
Fakery and hypocrisy in American communications are the subjects of this outspoken and amusing audiobook. Uncovering our thought-pollution problem for perhaps the first time, Arthur Herzog exposes Executalk ("name of the game" for "point" or "purpose," "ball-park estimation" for "rough guess"), Price Facts (thoughts made to appear like facts by virtue of being quoted), and Complex Complex (the compulsion to make things more complicated than they have to be), to mention only a few of the existing crimes against reasoning and vocabulary. The perpetrators of the atrocities include Fadthinkers, Term Mincers, Sci-Speakers, Backup Cant-ers, and Anything Government bodies, those who, having been successful in a single field, look on TV discussion shows as experts on everything else. Without the B.S. Factor, success in the us is nearly impossible, says Herzog, and he continues on to call for a new breed of "radical skeptics" to eliminate the B.S. that is now engulfing our country.
