    (Reebs, 2008, p.1). Moreover, many assume that goldfish do not have a memory since goldfish always seem like they are hungry, since they are always seen foraging for food.

Goldfish are considered ectotherms which mean that their body temperature changes as their environment temperature changes (White and Campo 2015).

    1. Why does Frankfurt think BS is worse than lying? Explain in detail. - Although both a liar and bullshitter are abusing the truth, Frankfurt believes that bullshitting is worse than lying because when someone tells a lie they are concerned about keeping the truth from the person/s they are lying to. A bullshitter does not care about these things. The only thing that matters to the bullshitter is being able to get away with not telling the truth. When someone lies, they always have to keep one…
