Complete tech arrogance as usual. All of this comes back to Plato vs Aristotle. Plato: Separate world of forms and ideas, consciousness is part of this and interfaces in some unknown and unknowable manner with the physical realm via biology

This is brilliant. I often see the “made with HEART_EMOJI” at the bottom of websites and think the more accurate line would be “made with SWEARING_EMOJI”. I feel the people who write the heart thing must be the same weirdo majority that wan

This is exactly what I’ve been thinking. Either set up an SSG just for tweets or incorporate into another site. Have an RSS feed set up for the tweets collection and then have some automation service like Zapier, IFTTT etc listen to that fe
