"Anyone who cannot come to terms with his life while he is alive needs on hand to ward off a little his despair over his fate—he has little success in this—but with the other hand he can note down what he sees among the ruins, for he sees different (and more) things than do the others; after all, dead as he is in his own lifetime, he is the real survivor. This assumes that he does not need both hands, or more hands than he has, in his struggle against despair."--Kafka

臭氣薰天

(其實我理應忙到沒有時間閱讀看電影看舞台劇聽音樂的,但我發現如果我把這些通通放棄,我也是坐在電腦前,呆望那份要我命的計劃書,所以,倒不如讓頭腦清醒點,風流快活後再做,或者,索性做完再外出,也算是小甜品)

「放屁」是聞名已久的小書,我沒有哲學根底(而我相信每一個大學生很應該要讀讀哲學),作者是美國普林斯頓大學道德哲學教授,用最嚴肅的筆觸寫這粗俗的命題,也看得我趣味盎然。

放屁比撒謊更差勁之處,是撒謊起碼知道什麼是真實,而放屁就根本不顧事情真偽,只是為了達到一己目的而發出的言論。在資訊泛濫的年代裡,人不愛聆聽,只有發表自己的高見,就算是不熟悉的議題也要抒發一下己見,不了解的也要發表高見,於是說的盡是屁話,更不知廉恥的人,放的屁都是用來抽水的,希望成為得益者。

誰Bullshit 得最多?官員和無良商人是也。讀這本書的最大好處,就是你有了很強的武器去打擊Bullshit 的口水佬,罵人也罵得文明點。
