Brandolini's Law

Updated: Jun 16, 2021

Brandolini's law, coined by Alberto Brandolini in 2013, also known as the bullshit asymmetry principle, is an internet adage

which emphasises the difficulty of debunking bullshit:


"The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than to produce it."

Red flag 🚩 signs for bullshit:


- overly confident use of technical language/ word spaghetti


- Charisma, misuse of authority


- Use of buzzwords e.g. biohacking, muscle amnesia, adhesions, fatigue, bioavailability, toxins, hormones, alkaline, imbalance, proprioception microbiome, inflammation.
