The nonsense all around us (#005)

Nonsense – from fake news to the stories we tell ourselves

Bullshit is everywhere around us, it's an integral part of our daily lives. It comes in many different forms and variations: as intentional or unintentional fake news, as true or false opinions we form ourselves, as opinions and stories we're told by other people.

Bullshit and nonsense – what's their purpose?

I'm not a bullshit scientiest but I shure experienced my share of nonsense. I can't help but think that it serves a purpose. In the case of intentional bullshit, especially the one that is being offered by others, the purpose obviously is to influence and manipulate us. In the case of bullshit or nonsensical stories we tell ourselves – which easily might be the majority of the stories we tell ourselves – it propably is to give us a felling of sense and control in our lives. We invent stories that seemingly bring order where in reality there is chaos. Stories, that explain why we did someting when in reality often we don't even know why we did it. We live in a sea of uncertainty and our stories help us create a fake island we then call home.

Personal realtionships are unfortunately also full of nonsense

People are storytellers and – even worse – storybelievers. We explain the world by stories we just made up. Those stories do not convey the truth, they simply help us to explain the world. This explanation doesn't have to be true to be helpful or even working for us. I'd say, the majority of stories we invent and listen to are not true at all, or at least partly wrong.

Bullshit and a stoic solution

What can we do to get a better understanding of the world with less nonsense? In the podcast I talk about different strategies, one being the proper use of our Logos; our ability to think correctly.
