Can't help noticing that teh interwebz are grossly overestimating my interest in a man with a parachute today.
@PaulaSKirby Well quite. It would have been much more exciting if it had turned out he hadn't had a parachute.

@PhilosophyExp Science-worship has become trendy, esp among atheists. As with most trends, I have to ask: genuine or just a bandwagon? -
@PaulaSKirby Indeed. There's a whole "narrative of self" thing in play here (as there is with many people's "interest" in philosophy). -
@PhilosophyExp Ah, I should have known there'd be a name for it! A very good one too: sums it up perfectly. -
@PaulaSKirby I think the phrase "narrative of self" was coined by Anthony Giddens. I tend to use it a bit, but I don't think it's common.
