Fiction is the superior genre. (Just because our current decade is poor on exceptional fiction does not make this less true!)
My goodness, Dostoevsky is six times as profound as Kierkegaard, because he writes fiction. In Kierkegaard you have this Abstract Man going on and on—why, it’s nothing compared with the Fictional Man, who has always to keep these tremendous ideas alive. — Aldous Huxley, 1960
In almost all cases, fiction is better than non-fiction.

@barneyfarmer Should I worry that I found myself agreeing with him here? (Don't worry, that's all we've got in common so far. My trousers are definitely fastened, hernia be damned)

I know people can become desensitised to the most heinous of daily war crimes during a real-time genocide, but properly consider this sentence. A sniper. A sniper. Targeting a 13 year old girl through the crosshairs and pulling the trigger.
Jana Zuhair Madi, 13 years old, was killed by an Israeli sniper in cold blood. #GazaGenocide
Let’s just take it as fact that the New Statesman is a black propaganda outlet used by the security services to dull left-wing discourse and warm a moderate audience to US foreign policy (no time to explain I’m driving) Is nobody else concerned that this guy runs @BritainElects?
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Thought I better pull my finger out.
Now that Tom Watson has gained all his weight back, will he be refunding all the people who bought either of his bestselling books which promised readers they could “beat diabetes” and achieve “health and happiness” with his proprietary ketogenic crash diet?

@barneyfarmer “Check that expiration date man, it’s later than you think”
PS Philosophy, and armchair reflection more generally, can reveal how external reality *cannot possibly be*. e.g. if a theory about external reality generates a logical contradiction (Galileo's *thought experiment* about the two dropped balls refuted Aristotle's theory of motion)
I think a lot of science-minded folk fail to understand this. That's why they think e.g. the 'hard problem of consciousness' is a science problem. Philosophy is redundant. Wrong: the 'hard' problem is mostly an armchair problem - a conceptual problem. ONLY philosophy can solve it
As empiricists who think observation provides our only window onto external reality, Hawking etc. doesn't think philosophy, as armchair reflection, can reveal how external reality is. I think he is *correct*.
I also lean towards empiricism, so think philosophy is in the business of doing something other than revealing how the external world fundamentally is. I think it's in the business of identifying certain logical/conceptual problems, puzzles, solutions, etc. That is armchair work.
I think a lot of scientists, incl Hawking & Peter Atkins, dislike philosophy because they're empiricists and think philosophy is 1. a form of armchair reflection ('a priori'), and 2. in the business of revealing how the external world fundamentally is.
This bit is the nub of it. What Labour is proposing - and what we see in emerging post-neoliberal capitalism generally - is an increasingly hard insider/outsider logic, typically with the state gatekeeping.
Labour plans to give "employees" basic rights from day one while denying millions of casualised workers basic rights altogether. This will entrench inequalities in the labour market, creating an underclass of precarious workers.
@barneyfarmer All of them ex-party members now claiming to be independent?
What happened when one of the two major parties ran politics on membership fees from members of the public rather than bungs from companies and bajillionaires, in exchange for contracts and tax fuckery, George. Did you and your colleagues love it and help out.
@barneyfarmer There was a nice dog in our polling station. His little smile briefly took my mind off the fact that democracy has died.
