  • The asymmetry of bullshit has become significantly more important.
    • There's many more ways to be wrong than right.
    • If you care about being right you have to invest much more effort per statement.
    • If you don't care about being right you can overwhelm those who do.
    • R-selected vs k-selected.
    • The result is that we are awash in a tsunami of bullshit.
    • This was a minor annoyance but now that we're in the Cacophonous Age it's the driving asymmetry of our time.
