early 2024 updates

  Everyone wants a good story. This is about awing want.

  being person-al...” follows directly from April‘s “It’s phenomenal” (not self-referential: about experiencing), which begins a long, specific agenda which I’ve developed during the past year.

  Dear Jacques,...” responds to Derrida’s 1987 preface to Psyche: Inven-
tions of the Other
by partnering with his self-analytical sensibility.

  Appeal of better ways” constellates an array of themes for more specific attentions later. It’s a good synopsis of what I’m generally doing for my “project of humanity.”
 
January 24, 2024
  Orienting life in relation with futuring humanity” is inspired by how edu-
cation undermines consumerism, undermines the appeal of authoritarian stances, and welcomes appreciation of manifold mindfulness. Also, my discussion introduces a scalar sense of holism which is generally important for “The Project currently.”

 
January 19, 2024
  Justification for neologism” anticipates new conceptual writing online which is more orientated by my own terms.
 
2023 updates
  December 8, 2023
  Meaning of significance: part 1” begins a venture into there being texted presence between author and reader by design.

  ‘lifecycleness,’ so to speak” prospects a felicitous neologism for exploratory conceptual work.

  Empathing toward Andromeda” is proximally about creative process, ultimately about intelligent life. It evinces from the appeal of conceptual work not yet online (which, by the way, isn’t oriented toward astro-fiction).
 
November 23, 2023
  Complementary to conceptualist “appealing ways of understanding” (Nov. 2) is a gathering today of all diary-ish postings and pages from recent years which aren’t listed in “appealing ways....”: “designing and remembrance.” It’s part of moving beyond cycle 4 of the Project, so its “home” button links back to here, rather than to cycle 5 of the Project (below).

  A lot of developmental time has found long-term cohering, which I honor-
ed in a practical way with “humbly marking a new year for humanity” (Jan. 11). Now begins a path more focused on my own “terms of venturing” (Jan. 12) with a sense of progressive holism (Jan. 15) implicit. I hope that I’m showing a good horizon of sensibility (Feb. 6).

 
late 2021—2022 updates
  October 26, 2022
Love of ascending (and descending)” today completes my current, 4-part obsession with love, which is really ardent caring, in many ways and degrees.
Cutely titled “love notes” (Oct. 9) was actually analytical, but it links to earlier points of effusively loving to be. I discussed “‘mindfulness’” (Oct. 14), so called, in a conceptual way. And “‘love’ in empirical research” (Oct. 21)
.



September 2022

thinking of ‘a diversity of selves’” (Sept. 3) became the first of two parts: “more diversity of selves” (Sept. 5). That is followed by more-formal “better self-enabling for better humanity we share” today.


July 2022

“Bibliophilia” (Nov. 2021) gained a second section, “playing to a muse,” and
I renamed the page “wanting telicity of appellant cohering.”



June 2022

Singularity of a still-flowering life” is a set of discursive episodes composed
of some pages recently listed here (now deleted from this page) and new pages, altogether having variable conceptual difficulty and variable creative license.

My title for them all may seem sentimentalist, but no more than the focus of humanistic psychology (and neo-Aristotelian ethics) on the value of flourishing—and fidelity to still flourishing is the best response to re-realizing one’s mortality.



May 30, 2022

The project continues the fun: “enthralling appeal”; or: How to arrange
30+ keynotes (future topic foci) into a short story.



May 7, 2022

A very short posting, “another lovely cohering,” implicitly expresses (by several links) a singularity of long flourishing life echoed in writerly moving on, beyond more-recent postings—a cohering passage from winter to spring as also “lovely,”
a term (to me) of diminutive endearing which, all in all, tropes a sense of lifeworldly ultimacy—remembered times, another Time—like some vista beyond capture, yet being no ephemeral rainbow, no cosmic Silence.



October 2021

I mused on a tropical muse.


August 2021

a singular pluralism of conceptual interests

Project-relevant discussions of 2019 and 2020 are listed at December’s “turn of the year and all.”
