What truly exists is we ourselves, and time is derivative.” — Roman Ingarden
I do philosophy late in life, after the house is clean, dogs are fed, and dinner’s made.
Ingarden would get it. His whole point: real, living people come before abstract theories.
Wrote about him because no one else in Croatia does. And because here
realism explains why “recovery beyond prognosis” isn’t a miracle — it’s ontology.

Most accounts of Hermann Weyl's objections to the Dedekind continuum treat them as episodes in the foundations of mathematics. This essay takes a different route. Beginning with Weyl's dissatisfaction with impredicative definitions, it follows a path through intuitionism, Husserlian phenomenology, and Riemannian geometry to ask a broader question: what if continuity is not a completed object but an ongoing achievement?

While revising Chronic Grumpiness, I removed a short coda.
One fragment survived.
Bill Hodges is sitting at a bar, looking at a spoon, investigating.
"Did you notice everything in the spoon is upside down?"
He holds it at the angle that makes the point most clearly. The bar is upside down.
"That's the way life is. Only the spoon got it figured out."
The line amused me when I wrote it. It also lingered.

My dogs thinking:
The large bipod has entered the Husserl phase. No squirrels are being pursued. We shall conserve energy. 🩵🩵🐾🐾
Sometimes it's enough to fill a puff pastry horn with silky meingue. Then, there are special days when it all turns into a subtle philosophy of being.

Being and Baking
§1: The Question of the Dough — wherein Dasein confronts its thrownness into a sticky situation it did not choose.
§29: Befindlichkeit and Butter — how one always already finds oneself at 180 degrees with flour on one’s hands.
Between philosophical grammar and theological longing, this essay traces what becomes of hope when the inner theater falls silent. Are we living in the age of hope at all?

What if the missing sock is not missing at all?
What if it withdraws?
I have attempted to think this question in a short investigation entitled:
On the Phenomenology of Sock Failure.
The work proceeds from the thesis that the washing machine is not equipment among equipment, but a site of ontological unconcealment.
The socks, unfortunately, confirmed the hypothesis.

A Sunday walk and flowers picked from neglected gardens in the neighbourhood, hanging over the fence. Neither stolen, nor saved. Brought to verse.

I’ve accidentally witnessed the most devastating possible writing platform statistic ever.
10 claps from 0 people” makes it sound like belief itself fragmented into anonymous phenomenological applause. Pure Cliffordian tragedy:
“It is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence.”
meanwhile:
evidence of readers: 0 evidence of claps: 10
How is this even remotely possible?
