  5. @standefer I think they're pedagogically good in demystifying what follows from what: algorithmic rather than creative process. about 18 hours ago from Tweetie in reply to standefer

  11. @dpntweeter Damn fine index. And very useful on Lewis and common sense in the last chapter. Afraid it reconfirms my sense of tension though! 6:33 AM Nov 23rd from web
  12. Patti Smith and John Cale, "My generation". 'mazing. 6:20 AM Nov 23rd from web
  13. Just realized what's been confusing me with the paper I'm reviewing. Two of the technical terms have the same definition. Typo methinks. 4:13 AM Nov 23rd from web
  14. @jichikawa Because of the boiling tar you have just tipped over them? 4:02 AM Nov 23rd from web in reply to jichikawa
  15. @carriejenkins @dpntweeter (A certain well-indexed book was set as reading for sup., so I better go and reread that to see what it says!) 3:48 AM Nov 23rd from web

  20. Current thought: Lewis's arg for modal realism and his appeals to Moorean truths are in tension (and not because of incredulous stares). 2:34 AM Nov 23rd from web
