Ha! Already got that book. But thanks, I'd forgotten about it. Looks like he has another book, this time "On Truth".
Someone gave me a novel for my birthday, but I'm struggling to remember the title. Something like "The Secret Theories of Doctor Modesto". Something like "Averageism", where your personality just oozes to the mean of any group.

From the link you provided:
Yes! Truth is irrelevant, advantage is all.
Found "On Bullshit" online.
