🧠 A recent study suggests people are more likely to believe false information from someone indifferent to truth ("bullshitter") than from an active liar. This is because repetition of a bullshitter's claims makes them feel truer over time, bypassing skepticism.

⏳ Warnings about false information are less effective when received after exposure to a bullshitter's statements, leading to a stronger belief in falsehoods compared to warnings given before exposure.

💡 Researchers found that knowing a source is a bullshitter fails to create the same mental blockade against repetition-induced belief as knowing they are a liar. This means bullshitting poses a uniquely potent threat to public knowledge.
