alt Hacker NewsNo no no. Harry Frankfurt wrote at length the difference between liars (who care about the truth, and twist it) and bullshitters (who don’t care about the truth, but just the way they’re received).
This is some third category of untruth. Almost more sinister than the other two altogether.
I think, they don’t care about truth at all, just whether the reviewer rates it highly. Otherwise, it would be deleted after that round of training. It values test-taking ability over critical thinking.
My two favourite words for this are “conditioned” and “catechized” where the latter is a bit more on the nose but way more obscure.
