I fully understand what Lee Kuan Yew meant about AC, civilisation wouldn’t have been built if the UK was always like this, we’d still be in the bog

I don’t think you should mean and rude to canvassers even if you think their politics are very bad.

@morallawwithin Which big ideas? Seems to you’re left with just the moralism line (who are you to say x is a non-serious sexual feature or y should be) he takes if think near everything else is a fumble.

I think the paper is interesting, for sure. But fumbling dealbreakers fumbles a lot

@eigenrobot No idea what book this is, but it’s censored in the UK.

@morallawwithin The more finger you have, the better you are at applied ethics.

@MattPolProf Like, women have not featured as central figures in philosophy for most of human history for obvious sexist reasons. But like, why would we be surprised that ppl, reasonably educated people, don't know female philosophers when they only philosophers they do know are long dead.

[Iseult @NoNamesAreReal]

@MattPolProf To be clear, not accusing you of doing this. It's just something I always see. When Anscombe gets mentioned, she's never mentioned for her book Intention.

It may be a more general problem imo wrt academia. Reckon the average educated person has ever even heard of David Lewis?

[Iseult @NoNamesAreReal]

Got multiple offers for a PhD, now I just need to see if any of the funding applications are successful.

Considering the way funding is, it's still very up in the air. Pessimistic but hopeful.

@ShotgunDillie Honestly, I just thought using ! in what resembles a toilet twitter thread was pretty funny. I love weird graffiti conversations like this.

[Iseult @NoNamesAreReal]

There’s discourse on the toilet walls at Leeds.

I’m hoping for a 4th reply until the whole thing resembles a twitter reply chain.

@Anarchil1 My knowledge of w2 might lead me to act in a certain way. there exists a possible world such that P is true, where my knowledge of P being possible changes my actions. This does not, on the face of it, contradict worlds being causally isolated. Maybe there's an angle though?

[Iseult @NoNamesAreReal]

If modal realism is true, I can have a loving relationship with a possible girlfriend.

One of my favourite papers ‘cause I genuinely can’t tell if this is meant to be ad absurdum or whether he’s genuinely comforted by his possible girlfriend

[Iseult @NoNamesAreReal]

@Anarchil1 (https://t.co/sozSIRdWQF)

You'll see that his view doesn't contradict the idea that worlds are causally isolated. Or at least, he's not claiming to contradict that. Check end of pp.257 as to one one may, in a sense, recieve love letters from your possible gf.

Leaker is a way better term than whistleblower.

Whistleblower sounds like a 1950’s euphemism for a gay man.

Leaker sounds more cyberpunk, cool and slightly grimey. Also, a 1950s euphemism for a gay woman.
