spring 2024
When I die, it’ll be with peaceful confidence about my integrity and lighthearted neologisms: “integrity of oneSself as neologist.”
Yet, I do live in the real world: “for united nations evolving Palestinian prosperity.”

winter 2024
I’m so close to doing lots of postings regularly. But I haven’t gained closure on clarifying the internal relations of the tens of themes that postings will altogether express: an intricate weave. Like finalizing readiness to build a house: It begins with slow assembly of a design which gradually emerges.
But the point of making a house is the home which can be there, discursive homemaking to be.

justification for neologism
Conceptual prospecting is common in philosophical work, but may seem hermetic.
Wanting new concepts follows from working beyond confounding uses of standard ones. Experimental thinking is good! It's fun.
One can propose and explicate new senses of standard concepts (which I usually do), but new concepts can be an easier way to avoid confusion or misleading ambiguity—and avoid concealment of the better sense of a standard term (when staying with the standard term in a new way) because a reader is habituated to standard senses—seldom clear anyway, which dictionaries easily display.

autumn 2023
“‘lifecycleness,’ so to speak” prospects a felicitous neologism for exploratory conceptual work. “Meaning of significance: part 1” begins a venture about there being texted presence between author and reader which is usually figurative (showing implicature) manifoldly. A speaker/writer is figurative because being understood is normally wanted more than expressiveness.

summer 2023
My conceptual venturing has prevailing interest in usefulness rather than showing expert fidelity to academic topics (which I can do).
So, giving time to narrative about “proximal cohering of ordinary life” (Aug. 20 below) expresses shared ground (maybe oddly so, for my part) prior to venturing which is very different (but to be shared), which isn’t abandoning (let alone devaluing) ordinary life by pursuing specialist topics, because returning to practicality is always my aim.

spring 2023
“Cohering lightness of preferring better being” is six postings. That title may sound frivolous, but you’ll see the engaged point, as you read through the set.
The set is listed on a page which will change focus (changing title and changing introductory paragraph), as that page gradually becomes a mere table of contents for a new era of project development.

notes home from a wilderness singing
Oh, you…
You want an accessibly well-formed narrative which is comprehensively credible (yet not too complex) for serving what most matters.
Too much improvisation intimates too much complexity, which looks ultimately incoherent (thus, losing promise for advancing given understanding), which is annoying (at the least) because you want specific orientation (not too challenging, not tedious) by permanently reliable leads.
