  • I may have an explanation. I’m gonna guess this guy probably talks out of his ass, like me, and bullshits a bunch of vibe based conjectures.

    Harry Frankfort wrote an essay and then a book called “On Bullshit,” and he talks about how people often times don’t necessarily lie, but they bullshit. Bullshit is something based on what we don’t concretely know, which is different from a lie. A lie is when we tell someone something that we believe to be true.

    Like if I saw someone who looked like friend’s girlfriend cheating on her with another woman, and I tell my friend her girlfriend isn’t cheating, then I lied. Whether or not I actually know if the girlfriend is cheating is irrelevant to the truth (truthiness?) of my statement.



  • I’m about 35 now. I grew up in America, but my family is from the southern Mainland. My mother too was a tiger mom while growing up, but my father was absent. I got to date in high school, while against my mother’s wishes, but at my age, I don’t really count that as seriously dating. In my college years. I had one major girl friend for about 3.5 years. When I left college, we had a horrible break up. I thought I found the person I wanted, but she definitely was not the right one for me. Those 3.5 years was almost like a dream until I woke up to world around me.

    If you are looking for any advice, I would look for what you find important in yourself and want out of someone you are with. Have fun while you can, but don’t fall into a space where you are merely complacent.
