@PaulaSKirby Well quite. It would have been much more exciting if it had turned out he hadn't had a parachute.2 replies 1 retweet 0 likes -

@PaulaSKirby Indeed. There's a whole "narrative of self" thing in play here (as there is with many people's "interest" in philosophy).2 replies 1 retweet 0 likes -
