@SFuntowicz @danmcquillan thank you so much for this - just downloaded it and read abstract, but i think it really chimes with a few things i’m thinking about just now - what kind of knowledge is given validity, and how that shapes things, and also #Presentism - badly articulated here ⬇️ Really looking forward to reading it
Thinking just now about how #Presentism - mainly living in and thinking about the present - is such a key feature of #Modernity, and how this alone has played such a key role in both creating the #ClimateCrisis and in our collective inability to address it. It’s so deeply engrained in our politics (electoral cycle), economics and senses of selves. We need to rediscover deeper connections to both past and future

@WelshPhotographer @MyWildlifeAllotment that all sounds wonderful- really looking forward to seeing your toots here. I know so little about Wales, but really interested in how there is both a deeper connection to the past and a much more forward thinking, future oriented politics there - Commissioner for the Future and all. I feel the two are linked - in fact, it’s making me think just now about #Presentism: so much a feature of modernity, so destructive

Wait, what? Episode 3 of season 3 of #ViennaBlood paints a—let me put it mildly—somewhat fringe picture of the Austrian Revolution of March 1848, that led to the toppling of the Metternich regime. The episode makes it look like it was a German nationalistic affair only. Which it was not, not by far. Well, it obviously fits the narrative of the episode. Coincidentally, the English Wikipedia article has the same spin, while the German one is much more nuanced. Ah well, #presentism :blobcatshrug:

BILL MAHER: In today's world, when truth conflicts with narrative, it's the truth that has to apologize.

#RaymondTallis - Events and the Nature of #Time
Are events measured by time? Or is time created by sequences of #events? Which is more #fundamental, events or time? Worse, we may get different answers from #QuantumMechanics and #GeneralRelativity.
