About This Quote

"The bullshit detector is the biggest enemy of every religion." The first half of this quote is about how we should avoid being fooled by illusions and delusions. We must not allow ourselves to fall for false beliefs, even if those beliefs are very well-intended and appear entirely obvious.The second half of the quote is about the role of bullshit detectors in the growth and betterment of humanity. Our ability to spot bullshit is what separates us from animals. A dog will see a pile of dung as food, but we can identify that dung as unsanitary, or dangerous, or cancerous, or all sorts of other things. This ability to use our brains to spot bullshit is what makes us human.
