MC Hammer could write The Symposium but Plato could never write Can't Touch This

Mr. T is dropping theological truths, MC Hammer is dropping philosophical truths, and I’m just glad I’m alive to see it
https://t.co/2TYxXTXUyESaw someone tweeting about history and philosophy of sci/tech with the handle mchammer and was like huh, I wonder how he managed to snag that handle.
It’s because it’s MC Hammer.
MC Hammer continues to be a legend apparently, for different reasons
https://t.co/zNKp6M4awr"MC Hammer on Foucault" is like the title of an American Studies PhD seminar at NYU
Forever more I am going to say "In the words of MC Hammer 'When you measure, include the measurer.'"
MC Hammer, explaining why Philosophy has to work with science as an epistemic tool to make both flourish, is a GREAT thing to wake up to
https://t.co/kUr1rtQ9akMC Hammer saying "when you measure, include the measurer" should be taught in every stats class forever
As MC Hammer has shown...
Maybe it's me, but a lot of the energy around MC Hammer from academic twitter feels like "Wow! A rapper studies science and philosophy!"

good: MC Hammer dunks on scientism
bad: MC Hammer is a creationist
the funniest/nicest/whoaaa!-est part abt the MC Hammer Surprise is that, even if i don't *like* all of his reading choices (but why does that matter!), these are clearly not from a reading list or even goodreads recs, but the path of someone making a giant list off wiki cites
“If science is a ‘commitment to truth’ shall we cite all the historical non-truths perpetuated by scientists? Of course not. It’s not science vs Philosophy ... It’s Science + Philosophy. Elevate your Thinking and Consciousness. When you measure include the measurer.” MC Hammer
"When you measure include the measurer."
MC Hammer nails STEM equity, diversity, inclusion in a tweet 🙌🏽
https://t.co/XTSU0cT2JaPeople freaking out over MC Hammer dropping some "science" like KRS-One and Chuck D don't exist.
MC Hammer is reading Julian Jaynes. Why aren't you? You're being left behind.
Was not ready for the MC Hammer poststructuralist turn, but I am *here* for it.
@Timothy71568259 @MCHammer @MLB @Athletics I mean, MC Hammer actually knew Charlie Finley and "creepy fascist" has no meaning whatsoever in 2021 because you use it to describe people you don't like from the 70s
