I am completely new with Twitter. Could you explain the ideas a bit, please – and tell me where to find that group, since clicking seem to lead me astray.

Comment on Nihilism and the Meaning of Life by mark20

Well we humans may be the mistake of nature. Because our actions are versus the nature. But in the other hand we are the part of nature. It means our actions are natural. I believe the meaning of is giving a meaning to life.

Comment on Technological Panglossianism by emp

A panglossianist is someone who believes that whatever soceity/world they’re in is the best possible one because they can’t handle the possibility that they’re instead in some kind of dystopia.

So for example, there are a ton of people in America who are huge supporters of capitalism as the best possible system simply because it makes them feel better to think the system they’re stuck living in is for the best. The same sorts of people living in communist Russia thought that version of ‘communism’ was the best possible system. And the same sorts living in monarchies, slave systems, etc thought those were also the best possible systems.

Yes, I don’t think panglossianism is optimistic at all. I think it’s very sad and ultimately often insane. It means marveling at the emperor’s new clothes. It means deciding that change is impossible and that so therefore you should pretend that change isn’t desirable anyway. It means being a conservative.

Comment on Bookeen Cybook E-book Reader by Peter Giger

Don’t know about Chinese or Arabic. I have tested it on a Swedish book – and it works fine with å, ä, ö – but that isn’t that complicated. I guess it’s UTF-8. Plugins isn’t possible to use, what I know.

Interesting review about quite rare eBook Reader, thanks for the post! Does it have ability to show texts with special symbols like chinise or arabic (may be by installing some plugins)?
