Kierkegaard wrote that 'life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards'. To most, they find peace in this; understanding of self, and that life’s tragedies will not be repeated. To others, they find torment; doomed to live a life of lamentation for all.

Great insight. One of the best pieces of advice I received is that it is better to read one book and remember it, than several and be left only with a scattered bunch of vague, nebulous impressions.
It’s just as much or, more, about the decline of oral culture. Pupils once memorised poetry, politicians and priests employed classical rhetoric, ordinary people sung, rhymed and whistled — modern people “write” more than ever in the form of emails, texts, and tweets etc.

Middle Management in action.
TikTok has taken down our video of @isnit0 cleaning graffiti on the tube. They're trying to make out that we're CRIMINALS for cleaning up graffiti on the tube. While TFL is doing nothing about the ACTUAL criminals putting the graffiti there in the first place.

Think not of this as a point of cynicism about how limited your age is in its thinking. Think of it as liberation: that there are infinite ways of the world being which are just waiting to be explored.

History's best value as a subject, is to realise there is more to life than the waters one is swimming in.
In 1965 A.J.P. Taylor released his book “English History: 1914-1945” in which he writes:. Until August 1914 a sensible, law-abiding Englishman could pass through life and hardly notice the existence of the state, beyond the post office and the policeman. He could live where he.

Completely correct. Ancient philosophers recognised the direct connection between the body and the intellect. 'Plato' was a nickname to mean 'muscular'. Especially now, with research into the axis between the brain and other parts of the body, it is clear that the two are.
If you’re smart there’s probably something like a 90% chance you’re not exercising enough. Most smart people, academics in particular, view their body as just a vehicle that transports their throbbing brain from room to room. Very unhealthy.

Calling this a 'vigilante [. ] campaign', is typical in being utterly radical and creating the very circumstances that allow this rampant criminality, but being too historically uniformed to realise it. A 'vigilante' is someone who dispenses justice outside of the law. They.
“We all have a role in society to call people out.” . @RobertJenrick rejects the suggestion his vigilante fare dodger campaign is irresponsible on #TimesRadio. @HugoRifkind

Could you imagine how much better British politics would be if all MPs were this proactive? Being aware. Seeing normal life. Much better than spending their time visiting the town's new coffee shop for a photo in the local paper.
Sadiq Khan is driving a proud city into the ground. Lawbreaking is out of control. He's not acting. So, I did.👇

This is a fantastic model of journalism that deserves to go way beyond Twitter. Someone actually going *somewhere* and revealing something new over repeating a press release.
Legal & General manage over £1 trillion. If you have a workplace pension, they likely manage it. Last week, I attended their AGM to find out if your retirement is their sole priority. The answer was a resounding NO 🧵

Underdiscussed among commentators, but yet of great anger to the public, is that the policies against 'bullying and harassment' in practise mean that if staff take a personal disliking to someone they are denied essential services. True for GP Receptions and so much more.
Was just fully denied the right to travel today at Liverpool St Stn, on any train, because @networkrail staff collectively refused to deploy a ramp for me. Why? One of them claimed I was “rude” for telling him I didn’t need the lecture he was giving me on why they’d failed to ….
