What: Talia Lavin, writer and former fact-checker for The New Yorker, made a Twitter thread imagining famous philosophers existing in an online world. It is both hilarious and accurate.
Representative tweets:
"sartre: your posts make him nauseous. he retreats from Online but always comes back to the discourse. cafe selfies. sees through media cycle bullshit but it drives him insane. big polyamory guy. mad that simon de beauvoir has more followers than him"
"kafka: still on facebook, so heartachingly sincere you make a dummy profile after deactivating just to read his posts. wins flash fiction contests. deeply neurotic and posts about his health problems from time to time. strong needs a hug vibe."
Connections to previous Wreckage: Talia Lavin was previously featured as part of List #66: Public Voices to Pay Attention To. Hungry for more philosopher talk? List #68 has a whole lot of content about The Good Place.
How to get it: Jump into the Twitter thread here. Find Lavin on Twitter @chick_in_kiev.
