@BBCNews @bbc5live Boris asking us to be socially responsible and mature. While we're being so mature can we have an apology for 10 yrs of Tory headkicking the NHS and social welfare and an undertaking to listen to your experts and to the people who have paid the price and/or are about to?

UK PM Boris Johnson says while the government "have the powers" to enforce social distancing, he does "not believe it will be necessary to use those powers" to shut public venues such as theatres and pubs bbc.in/3d6pAho #CoronavirusOutbreak

@bblfish @DJRoss70 Did you talk remotely?

@DJRoss70 Dan's talk was interrupted in mid stream, there followed a discussion in French on the topic of that seminar on the #internation (which started in English) and Dan's talk continued in English here: #t=03:01:46" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">media.iri.centrepompidou.fr/video/enmi/201…

Talk by @DJRoss70 on #Sovereignty in the #Neganthropocene in the context of the #internation. How can sovereign states cope with the increasing rate of change in the environment, when they were designed to set a (slow) time for deliberation? #t=01:37:52" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">media.iri.centrepompidou.fr/video/enmi/201…

@knightfdn Read Telecracy against Democracy. That will be £1m thanks.

@edyong209 The thinking behind big science AI projects like this is in desperate need of some serious retraining. Piercing the circuit of research funding, investment and science education is not easy however

Ten years ago today, at a TED conference, a neuroscientist claimed that he could simulate the human brain in ten years. And, er, that didn’t happen. Here’s a look at why, and whether the goal even makes any sense. theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

@j2bryson @MaryEllenFoster @DrDonnaYates sorry this is eons late in Twitter temporality, but maybe actor-network theory or ANT ? Affordances seems to relate to JJ Gibson's work however...

@MaryEllenFoster @DrDonnaYates @PatrickCrogan Patrick, I've forgotten the technical term for the philosophy / sociology that describes objects as not just having affordances but through their affordances actively warping behaviour. What was that called?

@SW_CTN good hardware shop that one

First stop of the day, an extremely well stocked hardware shop. Making a physical prototype requires some creative problem solving.

@samkinsley Onto customers and away from busboys. Probably just has gimmick value for a resto at the mo

@DJRoss70 @NafeezAhmed Yes this gets the inside - outside link but seems to give up on the outside organisations that are failing (yes), but won't be reinvented automatically from the local outward through some mimetic mechanism

Call by @NafeezAhmed to respond to Anthropocene crisis with a systemic paradigm shift rather than "extinction rebellion" has echoes of Bernard Stiegler's call: Ahmed: medium.com/insurge-intell… Intro to Stiegler: academia.edu/38953896/Ross_… The Neganthropocene: openhumanitiespress.org/books/titles/t…

@SW_CTN more on how tech is a tool but never a neutral one: BBC News - Female-voice AI reinforces bias, says UN report bbc.co.uk/news/technolog…

PLEASE RT If you strenuously and unambiguously object to Trump firing Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein or Special Counsel Mueller. Based on tonight's news, the chance one or both things will occur in the next two days, thereby ending the rule of law in America, is very high.

Don't fly BMI! Had 2 flights cancelled in 2 days by BMI Regional coming back from Germany. Took from Sat pm to Monday pm to get home. 3 messages to their customer service centre online. Response: Zero except the automated 'we got your message' emails. Thanks for the service BMI.
