Imagine if (say) Matt Ridley wrote those exact tweets. I propose that nobody would really care. People just want to get outraged at Dawkins.
@SIN_Notung And I say this as somebody who finds his anti-religion stuff tedious (though the Selfish Gene & Ext. Phenotype are wonderful.)

@PhilosophyExp I haven't read TGD since studying philosophy - I was a fan at the time but would need to re-read...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@PhilosophyExp the Phil. staff at my university were the same. They like his science writing but not the religion. Was a wakeup call! -
@SIN_Notung Yeah, though to be fair, TGD isn't aimed at philosophy professionals, and shouldn't really be judged in those terms. -
@PhilosophyExp and his philosophy lacks rigour, but his ideas can still spark discussions and be a starting point. That still has value IMO -
@SIN_Notung@PhilosophyExp Thus reaching a wide audience. Would not have done so if philosophically complex. -
@Humanisticus@PhilosophyExp but yeah - many might find a better book like (say) Mackie's a bit boring/impenetrable.
