Lesson 10 - Bullshit detecting.

I'm a level 5000 bullshit detector. This didn't happen overnight. It took time, it took practice, it took finesse... but it's an invaluable skill. Unfortunately though, to be really good at this means you have to have been lied to. A lot.

When you have it mastered, you will realize that not all bullshit needs to be addressed. At this point in my life, I feel that the better route is typically to take what you've learned about the person who is attempting to scam you, and walk away. You don't even need to let them know that you know, the important thing is you have the information you need. Just leave it be. Go ahead and let them think they got away with it, who cares. Save yourself the trouble and the extra drama of unnecessary confrontation. Giving a bullshitter the chance to argue is just giving them another chance to bullshit you. Don't bother.
