The book "On Bullshit" delves further into the differences between lying and bullshit, contending that bullshit is more subtle and commonplace than lying, which entails a purposeful effort to deceive by presenting an untruth as fact. Frankfurt argues that while bullshitters are completely oblivious to the truth, liars are conscious of it and make an effort to conceal or distort it. They use language in a way that is misleading but not always inaccurate, more focused on furthering their own agenda or image. Therefore, bullshit is a kind of communication that is deceptive, misleading, or irrelevant rather than necessarily being a form of lying. According to Frankfurt, the amount of bullshit in society diminishes the importance of sincerity and the truth in communication, making it more difficult to distinguish.
