No update apart from what I noted today at <i><a href="https://gedavis.com/home.html">gedavis.com</a></i>.
<br><br>
<hr><font color="#c60">Mar. 2</font><br><br>
The <a href="https://gary-e-davis.blogspot.com/2024/02/we.html">posting on Derrida</a> has no obvious relation to recent obsessions about better humanity, but it’s all part of the same Project: humanism, humanities, conceptual literary interest, interest in textuality, though that series is a stretch—abstract. Yet, a reader wants enhancement of their sensibility through arts, and arts are commonly matters of our humanity.
<br><br>
I’ll have better updates soon.

So, coming to terms with appellant horizons may lead to better ways of life and better understanding?
<br><br>
Time does tell. Meanwhile, I’m enjoying paths ahead, working inten-<br>
sively with new readings of others, and too often “failing” to avoid academic emailing and commenting on news articles at the <i>Washington Post</i> and <i>NYTimes</i>. For <a href="https://nyti.ms/4bhxbrL#permid=130860201">example</a>.

Now the season of irony, a literary archetr<b><i>o</i></b>pist might think.
<br><br>
But tragedies still pile on daily, autumn being an endless fall.
<br><br>
I have nothing new of my own to share tonight. A lot of creative <b>W</b>ork will get done during this turning of the year—which is also distraction from daily news, though I don’t avoid reading for long.

I’m with Jacques Derrida in fascination with our possible presence together here, i.e., through textuality, which is from me to an invented other, but also somewhat (inevitably) inventing the actual other in conscientious address. And the other—anonymous reader, loved one—somewhat <a href="https://gary-e-davis.blogspot.com/2024/02/we.html">invents the author</a>.

A discussion I put online earlier this month, titled “To shape a better understanding to share, where should we begin?,” immediately dissatisfied me. So, I reconceived the thing, now posted as two discussions: </span><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #0e0b6b;"> “orienting life in relation with futuring humanity,” a couple of days ago. See the playfully titled “deep time...” posting below here, Jan. 24.</span></li><li><span style="color: #0e0b6b;">today’s “</span><a href="https://cohering.net/c52/13/3c52.13.html">appeal of better ways</a><span style="color: #0e0b6b;">.” It constellates an array of themes for more specific attentions later. It’s a good synopsis of what I’m generally doing for my “<a href="https://cohering.net/c51/01c5.html">project of humanity</a>.”</span></li></ul></div>

“<a href="https://gedavis.com/bt/007bt.html">Orienting life in relation with futuring humanity</a>” is inspired by how education undermines consumerism, undermines the appeal of authoritarian stances, and welcomes appreciation of manifold mindfulness.
<br><br>
Also, my discussion introduces a scalar sense of holism which is generally important for “<a href="https://cohering.net/c51/01c5.html">The Project currently</a>.”

Desire for new concepts—which I’ve not hesitated to satisfy—follows from working beyond the normal uses of standard concepts. That’s common in philosophical work, but easily seems hermetic.
<br><br>
The past couple of weeks offline have been very fruitful, in terms of more new concepts and advancing earlier themes. <a href="https://discursive-living.blogspot.com/2024/01/neologism.html">I love my days!</a>

No update, but you see below (Nov. 23, 24, 25) that a lot has appeared during the past couple of weeks. I expect a lot more to share this month.
<br><br>
<hr><a name='more'></a><font color="#c60">Nov. 25</font><br><br>New discussions are coming <i>soon</i>. Concepts and themes from recent years which are especially important to me will be developed in new ways, with readings of very relevant texts of recent major scholars brought into explorations.
<br><br>
I have a long road mapped ahead, not dependent on <a href="https://cohering.net/ca43/awou.html">what’s been done</a>. Rather, past work online was anticipatory at the time it was done.
<br><br>
I’ve had a prevailing sense of the Project for many years, though offline articulation of its recursive cyclicity—its generativity—has evolved.
<br><br>
<hr><font color="#c60">Oct. 28</font><br><br>
I have no apt words for how endless news about so much psychotic savagery against Our “shared” humanity is exhausting me because I feel duty to know all I can about the suffering of survivors who can’t turn away.
<br><br>
Who am <i>I</i> to be worn down, in comfortable distance, relative to innumerable surviving others’ unbearable loss of everything.
<br><br>
<hr><font color="#c60">Oct. 14</font><br><br>
Though wishful thinking about the Hamas-Israeli conflict can’t be realistic, given the fog of information and history, We must <a href="https://ourevolving.blogspot.com/2023/10/wishful.html">hope that Our humanity prevails</a>.
<br><br>
Over the years, I’ve failed to realize that my frequent links to <i>Times</i> articles and comments are valid only for subscribers! Sorry about that, but subscription is worth the cost. (I’ve never used social media “news” feeds—Facebook, Twitter.)
<br><br>
<hr><font color="#c60">Oct. 6</font><br><br>
I don’t believe you want a paragraph on creative process, but all I can share so far is a road note:
<br><br>
My project on value conceptuality has integrated notes from a decade
of mixed-note pages—hundreds of pages relating to tens of projects— but the resulting 153 pages of pertinent themes and dense paragraphs aren’t the near-term scaffold for any accessible narrative. So, I need another week or more before beginning to present cogent parts which will gradually (over some years, I guess) accumulate into a large-scale coverage—while other projects are also developing. My years-old trope of “conceptual gardening” remains apt.
<br><br>
<hr><font color="#c60">Sept. 23</font><br><br>
This season, I expect to do a lot online <a href="https://coherings.blogspot.com/2010/04/irt.html">irt</a> value conceptuality (normally called “value theory”) which I’ve discussed explicitly, though briefly (<a href="https://erealism.blogspot.com/2009/09/valuing.html">2009</a>, <a href="https://gedavis.com/re/senseA.html#fun">2018</a>, <a href="https://erealism.blogspot.com/2022/03/valuev.html">2022</a>). But, over the years, <i>much</i> of what I’ve done online has been about what’s particularly valuable to me, beyond the trivial fact that whatever a person gives attention to expresses what’s worthwhile. All along, <i>what</i> I give attention to has contributed to an eventual conception of value as such.
<br><br>
I want to move away from especially political value, because I’ve given so much attention to that over the years; and 2024 will be a very political year. But I won’t avoid political advents which are <a href="https://ourevolving.blogspot.com/2023/09/leader.html">especially appealing</a>.

Beyond polemic about “<a href="https://medium.com/@cohering/precious-life-254c1cf435bb">precious life</a>” (<i>sentient</i> human life), I want to be specific (soon) about entailed fidelity to precious values associable with fair chances for thriving and individuational flourishing through curiosity, engagement, belonging, appreciation, aspiration, and much more that good parenting and teaching provide, which altogether draws a life into precious purposes, having life-long appeal. <a href="https://gedavis.com/ac/004.04ac.html">True community</a> promotes, ensures, and advances precious reasons to live.

Better lives design their futures relative to appealing ways of under-<br>
standing, in light of which pasts are given significant meaning.
<br><br>
So, I’ve named my long listing of diary-ish, personal postings of recent years “<a href="https://cohering.net/ca43/de.html">designing and remembrance</a>,” not that there’s direct focus on the above theme. See the “<a href="https://cohering.net/ca43/depref.html">preface</a>” there.
<br><br><a name='more'></a>
The temporality of better lives is oriented by appealing purposes (emergent futurity) much more than by traditional orientation, though precedents are important!—important for securing futures authentically.
<br><br>
Being well is a matter of balancing futurity and precedent, of course. But flourishing relative to open, emergent futures is more promising than conformance with beginnings.
<br><br>
In particular, youth individuates, not like fated seeds sprouting, but as curious, exploring, adaptive, singular mind making one’s ownmost way (“To head toward a star—this only,” Heidegger, “The Thinker as Poet,” 1946, <i>Poetry, Language, Thought</i>), perhaps becoming unprecedented life, maybe exemplary, maybe original, even maybe lasting for heirs’ remembrance.

A narrative <a href="https://coherings.blogspot.com/2023/08/cycles.html">path over many years</a> is a kind of extended <a href="https://cohering.net/c51/2/01c51.2.html">care for being</a>, though sometimes seeming more like <a href="https://coherings.blogspot.com/2023/08/days.html">alien distance</a> of <a href="https://gary-e-davis.blogspot.com/2023/08/sunshine.html">a mind possessed</a> by its textuality—an <a href="https://cohering.net/c51/3/08c51.3.html">odd cohering of ordinary life</a> indeed: such <a href="https://coherings.blogspot.com/2023/08/building.html">conceptual prospecting</a> of <a href="https://gary-e-davis.blogspot.com/2023/09/look.html">belonging in mystery</a>.

<i>Ah</i>, summer. <i>Let</i> there be all manner of creative excess: discursive emails to misguided elderly professors (but appreciating their genuineness of engagement).
<br><br>
“Learning never ends,” you know, even for senior scholars—including myself, as I’d gladly be the first to admit my own misguidedness, when validly shown to me. But the showing hasn’t been attempted (while I’ve amply carried on, across the years).
<br><br><!--more-->
Anyway, <i>unshared</i> excess has been fruitful, the past few weeks: <i>closing in</i> on extended devotion to online, Web site-oriented writing again.
<br><br>
Though my promises of that may seem to stay mere promises, I will come through. I’ll be true.

My conceptual venturing has prevailing interest in usefulness rather than showing expert fidelity to academic topics (which I can do; being practical eludes many scholars).
<br><br>
So, giving time to narrative about ordinary life 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.
<br><br><a name='more'></a>
Concepts and themes about ordinary life (or any focus) are, to me, aspects of feasilbly useful—and usefully applicable—analysis for actual venues which matter, not for seeking Positions (or “ontic” pretenses) wanting admiration.
<br><br>
That said, upcoming postings will be more <a href="https://erealism.blogspot.com/2021/08/point.html">themically</a> analytical and focused on some specific aspect of a conceptual landscape which doesn’t have an online prospectus; so, the Point may seem absent. Aspects will constellate from the sequence of topics, probably as if they have (or: as if It has) no practicality. But I have a practical horizon in mind, which time will attest and detail.
<br><br>
Postings seem to emerge in small sets (with weeks lacking new postings) because I’m making main topics from component topics, and provisionally main topics will become componential. The ultimate scale of my unnamed project (“the Project currently”) is quite large.

I began Internet writing near the beginning of its general public availability as the Web, firstly (and heavily) in academic email discussions of Jürgen Habermas’s work (a specialty I evolved during earlier decades), while I learned basic (<i>very basic</i>) Web page formatting and did lots of blogging....
<br><br><a name='more'></a>
That eventually caused a division of online writing interest which was <a href="https://gedavis.com/jh/hs.html">Habermasian</a>, but also creatively prospective (<a href="https://erealism.blogspot.com">blogging</a> and Cycle 1 above).
<br><br>
I owned two urls and didn’t link anything from <i>gedavis.com</i> (the Habermasian site, whose early years are logged at “<a href="https://discursive-living.blogspot.com/search/label/site%20updates">discursive living</a>”) with creative prospecting via <i>cohering.net</i> (and “<a href="https://coherings.blogspot.com">other blogs</a>“).
<br><br>
Both sites evolved separately. But in recent years, I’ve increasingly linked discussions between sites, and now I post to a <i>g.com</i> (or related blog) if the topic feels external worldly (or very <b>publicly oriented</b>); and <i>c.net</i> (or related blog) if the topic feels <b>personal</b>.
<br><br>
So, Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 of the Project were unconnected to <i>g.com</i> work of that period. Cycle 3 merged discussions of both sites in a table of contents which paralleled the top-level organization of Cycle 4.
<br><br>
As of today, Cycle 5 has barely begun, but it’s the first stage of development which is gradually representing a Project plan which developed in detail over recent years, as very compressed notes (organized at 2-to-6 levels) which need elaboration into shareable discussions. The eventual Project table of contents will have 3-to-5 (?) levels of topics and sub-topics.
<br><br>
Meanwhile, I have no idea what improvisations I’ll want to do, but my evolved plan seems to cover every mode of interest I’ve had over the past few years (including <a href="https://gary-e-davis.blogspot.com">exotic</a> and <a href="https://teleglyph.blogspot.com">confessional</a> interests [but not including a <a href="https://cohering.net/lst/update.html">confessional</a> blog which is only accessible if you have the url from me via email).
<br><br>
So, I expect that whatever I feel like doing will find a home in one of my blogs, or be a topic for Cycle 5 of “the Project currently”; or be a <i>g.com</i> topic area or posting for a directly-related blog.
<br><br>
By the way, I don’t have an accurate sense of how many pages I have online, but if you considered a “page” to be a normal MSWord document of text (~800 words?), then I currently have over 3,000 pages online.

I sometimes write as avid stranger to academic others or well-known others without first introducing myself—but getting to my point succinctly and clearly—because I unwittingly regard people as planetary neighbors who welcome interest in their work and will graciously let me know when I’m intrusive; and I assume they’ll ask for introduction when they want that. I’m happy to get promotional, but I don’t like initiating it. (<i>No one</i> has ever complained. I’m just saying...)
<br><br>
Being genuinely informal is not inconsiderateness. It’s just that I enjoy my venturing.
<br><br>
I know that informality undermines my credibility in first impressions, but I’m not afraid to seem foolish. I’m not foolish.
<br><br>
I’m informal.

I promise—given my life continues—to make better graphical presence of homepages (<a href="https://cohering.net/home.html">one</a> and <a href="https://gedavis.com/home.html">another</a>), meanwhile being fascinated with balancing introversional and extraversional life, a keynote of mental health, you may know.
<br><br><a name='more'></a>
Should I care about my <a href="https://twitter.com/GEDavisBerkeley">Twitter</a> anymore?<br>
(Or tweet you <a href="https://twitter.com/cohering">heartfully</a>?)
<br><br>
Whatever.
<br><br>
I’ve been <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cohering">on Facebook</a> since its beginning, but I have no “friends”<br>
(i.e., I haven’t “Friend”ed anyone). Mainly, I used the platform for supporting others’ interest in Jürgen Habermas (another <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Habermas">page of mine</a>) and Martin Heidegger (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/Heidegger">yet another</a> page), for a philosopher maligned by casual readers (and ill-informed “scholars”) who won’t see the challenge of surviving treachery constructively through therapeutic teaching.
<br><br>
Or I muse about <a href="https://www.facebook.com/americanearthling/">galactic relativity</a>.
<br><br>
I’ve had an Instagram account for many years, but never used it, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/davisgarye/">until today</a>. And there’s <a href="https://medium.com/@cohering">Medium</a>, which I haven't developed (though there are a couple of old postings).
<br><br>
Manifoldly aging online—growing protean with shared Time—marks<br>
a wealth of being written as the wrinkled page of this sagging face.<br>
No matter. “Love the wealth you are,” says a muse.
<br><br>
<i>Words</i>, letters, may survive one, as if their flourish of first sharing never ended, for there are always first readings, or reading again newly, like loves that never seemed to have aged beyond our enthralling good fortune (rare, of course).
<br><br>
We face each other as no others can, because you’re writing me by reading as I write you here.
<br><br>
Is this merely inter-personal (<a href="https://gary-e-davis.blogspot.com/2018/06/silences.html">casually inter-al</a>)?
<br><br>
“Or may we dissolve into each other,” an intimacy of inter-selfal presence, say meadows entertaining the light, as if heart to heart<br>
in <a href="https://gary-e-davis.blogspot.com/2021/10/amuse.html">a musement</a> recalled to horizons.

The notion of gods has always been an anticipation of (or claim to experience) superior beings.
<br><br>
Even monotheistic “God” is a reflection of human ideas (and want) of <a href="https://american-earthling.blogspot.com/2023/06/prospecting.html">incomprehensible capability</a>.
<br><br>
Call it <a href="https://coherings.blogspot.com/2010/09/god-as-good-luck.html">darling trust</a>.

An array of influences may <i>mirror</i> the furthering of myself relative<br>
to their constellating (as if their cohering emerges from their regioning), not clearly me constellating their concerted appealing relative to myself (otherwise as if I’m the given center or basis of their cohering).
<br><br>
Our array’s “as if” self-constellating becomes its own emergent centripetality drawing my growth centrifugally into trans-horizonal appreciations (even awe).
<br><br>
Like the manifoldness of James Joyce’s <i>Ulysses</i>, emergent proteany belongs to us in our regioning, though of course I selected the <a href="https://coherings.blogspot.com/2009/12/ulysses-and-us.html">modes of engagement</a> brought into blooming, and though I’m the sole witness of our giving way.
