Professor Edzard Ernst is fast becoming another "someone" I'm sorry to have ever admired. Especially when he writes blog posts with titles like "‘You can’t bullshit a bullshitter’ (or can you?)" after the man has been attempting to do just that - because he's suffering from TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) and has been for quite a few years now.
I know this because A) I'm an American, living in America, and I know our political players *pretty* well, and B) here's a photo - just taken - of my personal copy of "On Bullshit" by Professor Harry G. Frankfurt. I've read it, approx. a billion times, so I know that terrain (and how it "works") pretty well, too.
Like, here's a photo of President Trump - the man Edzard Ernst believes, without evidence, is a racist - with Lil Wayne: a black man Trump let out of prison, even as a well-known racist was begging to be freed. Both of these facts cannot be true. Edzard Ernst doesn't care.
Because Ernst has become the same sort of evil, evidence-free bullshit artist, he's taught me to detest. He supports the party of Oprah.
