We mourn for a world.that still exists, here and now. Thus we let it die.

I did a poem called "The Cost of Living". Somewhat relatable, I imagine:.

Doing some #VirtualReality work with a student of mine @UniversityLeeds @leedsuniphysics , so thought I'd upload what we've got so far. A work in progress!

I like when scientists and mathematicians say "write down" as though its a mic drop moment:. "Then you can write down. the energy of an EM field!". "Whoa, what?! As if!"."Can't believe they just wrote that down, what a hero 🤩"."Ikr, I usually just write down lists and stuff :/".

The model may work to describe human behaviour, but that doesn't mean we should use it. Unlike an unthinking system, we humans can choose to do the opposite of the model. Perhaps this is what free will is in today's society: to know the pattern, yet choose to not confirm to it.

I'm not just sick of the marketisation of academia. I'm sick of the marketisation of everything. The reduction of human experiences, of gaining knowledge, of creating and producing, of love, to profit motives makes me sick.

Watching @SamLP talk at #ViCEPHEC23 . She says education is about the journey before the destination. I agree! And it's the first ideal of the knights radiant. .

In response to being asked for feedback for a fricking BBQ, sometimes it's actually ok not to get feedback. Not to optimise business processes to maximise engagement. To not ask "What could we do better?". Sometimes things are just ok, and that is ok.

Here's an extremely meta poem I wrote called "Poetic Freedom":. What is freedom, then?.I don’t know, what is freedom?.One, two, three, four, five.

I think we should view #ChatGPT as a null hypothesis generator. So long as we understand that it's not a truth generator, and consider epistemological ideas, then AI tools may allow us to move into a realm of deeper thought! #AcademicTwitter.

Oh, incidentally, my physics exam questions are a lot more fun. Snooker and darts and stuff.

Dear Sir/Madam,.We know everything in on Netflix and Prime now, but. do you have any money? We really need some money and we thought you might have some. Please give us some money. Pls. We'll wait outside your house, so just come down whenever with your money :( :(.#tvlicense.

I wrote a piece on what I think about the pressure of taking an examination. Have a read! @SamLP I'm interested in what you think about this :). @UniversityLeeds @leedsteaching .

I think it's interesting that non-geeky kids and adults still #Cosplay as footballers.

I tell you what, on paper, I'm pretty smart. Can do physics, understand societal patterns, things like that. But university internal expenses forms? Those things are so complex, I cannot solve them, please help!.

I wrote this a while back. Rereading it now, it sounds appropriate for #Pride. #PrideMonth #PrideMonth2023.

I did 2 #poems:. To Be Alone:. The Mastery of Ego:. I don't feel this way about either of these things anymore. Such is the human condition xD. #poetrycommunity #poetrylovers.

It's #PrideMonth2023 ! Don't forget to buy your #pride t-shirts, and #PrideFlag at your nearest retail outlet. Show your support by paying money to megacorporations. P.S. This isn't an anti-pride post, it's an anti-capitalist one. I actually like #PrideMonth . It's a riot. .

Listening to @MerlinSheldrake at the @UniversityLeeds . His book, #EntangledLife, is one of the best popular science books I've ever read
