Alt text for the second tweet: We cannot think of the physical world as if it were made of things, of entities. It simply doesn't work. What works instead is thinking about the world as a network of events.
Simple events, and more complex events that can be disassembled into combinations of simpler ones. A few examples: war is not a thing, it's a sequence of events. A storm is not a thing, it's a collection of occurrences.
A cloud above a mountain is not a thing, it is the condensation of humidity in the air that the wind blows over the mountain. A wave is not a thing, it is a movement of water, and the water that forms it is always different.
A family is not a thing, it is a collection of relations, occurrences, feelings. And a human being? Of course it's not a thing; like the cloud above the mountain, it's a complex process, where food, information, light, words, and so on enter and exit. . .
A knot of knots in a network of social relations, in a network of chemical processes, in a network of emotions exchanged with its own kind.
