@RestPoliticsUS Thinking of how they'd parachute Newsom in, given what little time remains... Constitutionally, what happens if (Biden) the candidate dies between confirmation and the election? Are there any mechanisms for postponing the election to prepare a new candidate?

@BookScribbler @BSHSNews @UChicagoPress @IMEMSDurham Congratulations! And apologies in advance for the idea it has given me, which is about to hit your work inbox. :)

@ProfSJJames We'll get a boost to admission numbers from teens desperate to escape national service?

[Gerald Moore @profgeraldmoore]

@lastpositivist Lots of people died, yes, but there are some conspicuous oddities over whether the Covid is actually what killed them - which tie, in turn, into much bigger questions about its status as a 'syndemic' and the underlying conditions of poverty that exacerbated it.

Great to see this special issue on “entropies” out now, edited by Joel White and Gerald Moore! Thank you for the work in putting this issue together. I have contributed with a paper on “entropy’s critical translations” @profgeraldmoore @philotechne

@bayesianboy Notionally but perhaps not meaningfully empirically testable? As in, if it happens, it happens - but we may well see deferrals until the day when a 1,000-year-old Elon Musk watches them alone on a seastead surrounded by a lifeless planet on fire.

[Gerald Moore @profgeraldmoore]

@JeremyTate41 Care to name those philosophers you are holding responsible? I answered about half of your questions and am not persuaded any of them are important of even good questions. We may well be committing civilisational suicide, but a shift away from fact-digestion isn't the culprit.

[Gerald Moore @profgeraldmoore]

@Philip_Goff I think it this case, it's judging a book cover by its book cover, which would be circular. But it is excellent.

@DPDCare How do I put in yet another official complaint about your diabolically awful service? The app won't let me. But I don't see why I should spend £30 going to collect 7kg of catfood from the random shop you dumped them in when you decided to deliver it on the wrong day.

[Gerald Moore @profgeraldmoore]

@bayesianboy You want to be able to show that you are adding to their strengths without replicating what they already do. And I want reassurance that applicants actually know what job they are applying for and want it...

[Gerald Moore @profgeraldmoore]

@suzanne_moore Yes, but there was reason to facilitate him: self-educating, working-class public intellectuals with a flair for communication are rare and to be welcomed. Whether 'they' knew he was malignant and abusive is another question, and there is every reason to suspect wilful blindness.

[Gerald Moore @profgeraldmoore]

@IZrudlo To be considered a true intellectual, you need the French and German originals.

[Gerald Moore @profgeraldmoore]

@garibaldIooo @PhysInHistory Finally! A decent suggestion after two minutes of scrolling. Someone else said Plantinga, but nothing else on this thread would even count as philosophy of science...

[Gerald Moore @profgeraldmoore]

@VladDavidzon @ArmandDAngour @robinsaikia Not as bad as the seemingly near-universal trait of conflating passive aggression with either passivity or aggression. And also hard to claim it's straightforwardly worse than aggression.

[Gerald Moore @profgeraldmoore]

@dioscuri Would be that it's irrelevant to the tweet you are responding to. It doesn't matter whether we are all healthy billionaires if global food, air and water supplies are collapsing within a timeframe we are manifestly incapable of staving off.

[Gerald Moore @profgeraldmoore]

@dioscuri Stealing people's land off them, forcing them to work on it for a pittance and declaring their income of $2.01 to be above the wholly arbitrary and inadequate threshold assigned to absolute poverty is no basis whatsoever for making this kind of argument. But the bigger point...

[Gerald Moore @profgeraldmoore]

@RyanCMullally @dioscuri No. it really, really shouldn't. Read @jasonhickel 's The Divide for a primer on why much of this thread is bullshit.
