        @sapinker @CHSommers atheism is a pseudological lie, no one 'knows' if an outer universal god exists, or not, postmodernism? void ab initio!

        @sapinker @Fox_Claire Don't academics live their trinkets and baubles and medals and awards! Lack of self-esteem I guess.

        @latimeralder @sapinker @Fox_Claire these specific academics are quite "in the world" and there to win too. Which is good.

        @marconeves @sapinker @Fox_Claire That's fine. So long as they don't pretend to occupy the moral high ground over us mortals.

        @sapinker What a sad, sad world: no discussion by anybody of empirical #falsifiability. Absolutely shameful.

        @sapinker Nice news. But isn't it all a bit too "in the family", like Tasmanians in my native Australia?

        @sapinker seems odd... did Richard just decide to give this woman a prize, or did a committee decide to give her a prize in his name?
