Hey guys, I have started a new twitter account and need a hand getting my first few followers to kick-start my profile. This twitter will be philosophy related and will be filled (hopefully) with content ranging from; debates, philosophical quotes, my quote/thought for the day as well as a follower's quote/though for the day and much more things to do with philosophy as well as other sorts of topics every now and again.

If any of you guys have a twitter and fancy following me then great! Also if you have any ideas of things you would like to see on my twitter then that too would be much appreciated and will be noted :)

If you have any suggestions or comments at all please PM me as I sometimes forget to check my forum posts :)

My Twitter: @TruePhilosophy URL:https://twitter.com/TruePhilosophy

Thanks guys, Take care!

On that nit witter thing how can you even have philosophical debates if you can only have 140 characters at a time. That is not even a gross. In the post you made do you know how many characters you used? 828, You would need to make 6 twits just to get out what you said in your first post. I guess I could see a quote of the day thing but it seems like this nit witter thing is misused mostly and for what it could be about getting information out it is usually just used for hey look at me I wanded the bagon. Because when people do jump into such things they have no idea why they are even doing it or what it is even about in the first place and mix up the meanings so it is not even jumping on the band wagon anymore because that is out of style. Humans do not make any sense with their fake interactions, and half flims to care.

Now for all of this I would need to make seven twits to get it out.

John Milton once said that:
"For Books are not absolutely dead things, but doe contain a potencie of life in them to be as active as that soule was whose progeny they are; nay they do preserve as in a violl the purest efficacie and extraction of that living intellect that bred them.

... as good almost kill a Man as kill a good Book; who kills a Man kills a reasonable creature, Gods Image; but hee who destroyes a good Booke, kills reason it selfe, kills the Image of God, as it were in the eye. Many a man lives a burden to the Earth; but a good Booke is the pretious life-blood of a master spirit, imbalm'd and treasur'd up on purpose to a life beyond life."

According to Nietzche "God is dead".

Could we assume that since Milton likens books to God that books are dead, and because a large portion of books are repositories of knowledge, that knowledge is dead? And as such is mans endeavour for betterment ultimately futile?

And that ladies and gents is why you can't have a philosophy conversation with the limitation of 140 chars.
