Alt text for the first tweet: The difference between things and events is that things persist in time; events have a limited duration. A stone is a prototypical "thing": we can ask ourselves where it will be tomorrow.

Conversely, a kiss is an "event." It makes no sense to ask where the kiss will be tomorrow. The world is made up of networks of kisses, not of stones.

Alt text for the second tweet: We cannot think of the physical world as if it were made of things, of entities. It simply doesn't work. What works instead is thinking about the world as a network of events.

Simple events, and more complex events that can be disassembled into combinations of simpler ones. A few examples: war is not a thing, it's a sequence of events. A storm is not a thing, it's a collection of occurrences.

A cloud above a mountain is not a thing, it is the condensation of humidity in the air that the wind blows over the mountain. A wave is not a thing, it is a movement of water, and the water that forms it is always different.

A family is not a thing, it is a collection of relations, occurrences, feelings. And a human being? Of course it's not a thing; like the cloud above the mountain, it's a complex process, where food, information, light, words, and so on enter and exit. . .

A knot of knots in a network of social relations, in a network of chemical processes, in a network of emotions exchanged with its own kind.
