the ghost of philosophy

When Twitter was much younger, we only had 140 characters to play with. So in 2013 I wrote a wee book of 140 aphorisms, each containing exactly 140 characters. Returning now to mature twitter I try to construct every response with precisely 280 characters. https://t.co/Cy7ymiTAnB

@rjh44249 @ruth_wishart I am a terminal cancer patient. Absolutely no complaints with the level of care I am getting. None.

Anybody like to hazard a guess as to the meaning or significance of this man's ink? And then a twee story about a mortar emplacement with no military function? Asking for a friend. https://t.co/Eu11BlO77f

More people should read William James. Everything he wrote continues to be relevant. Prove me wrong!!

[Duncan Spence @phdrs]

@NoContextSenedd Not much of a debate then is it?

[Duncan Spence @phdrs]

@EssexPoliceUK Seriously? You are the police! You are not supposed to take sides nor advocate for any particular ideology while implying that those criticising it are in breach of the law. It's really quite simple. It's not allowed. So why are you doing it? Misplaced virtue signalling, or what?

[Duncan Spence @phdrs]

Apparently 143,000 words is too many for a normal book. The industry standard is more like 70,000. Funny how nobody told Proust that. Or Tolkien. Or Tolstoy. The word count of a book should be however many the writer needs to tell the story. Otherwise we are not writing anymore.

@rickygervais Because it’s the best laugh for yonks and let a lot of repressed humour escape into the world #wokecomedy ?

[Duncan Spence @phdrs]

@GoodluckOak “British people”? Do you really believe there is such a thing?

[Duncan Spence @phdrs]

Which bits move? The extra genitalia or the extra forearm? Or both? Oh wait! Maybe that’s that’s the joke! Silly me pffff :-)

[Duncan Spence @phdrs]

#supernature and its critics?? @rickygervais bringing out their #intellectualcowardice as usual! Ha ha ha! Tossers!

[Ecilopy Goloedi @goloedi]

Virtue signally twattery!!Careers and precious pensions to protect? Too cowardly to speak truth to power, as you once thought so hip to call it? Too spineless to question the opinions of adolescent activists, who have discovered the truth for the first time? Your own offspring?!?

@chasestrangio Why is this investment?
