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?

The murdering of possibility to regulate our suffering

From The Life You Want by Adam Phillips pg 117:

If we wanted a definition of so-called pathology – or our difficulties in living – it may be, in Cioran’s phrase, the murdering of possibility. The murdering of possibility to regulate our suffering, to keep ourselves sufficiently safe. So where Freud’s and Ferenczi’s and Cioran’s question is: how, if at all, can I make my life seem not merely bearable but worth living; how can I justify, or make something I value out of the suffering my life involves?

From pg 118-119:

These questions, in all their apparent rhetorical gravity, may be there … to murder possibility; may indeed be our way of murdering possibility under the cover of pursuing profound questions.

What might we make of ourselves is a call to action, and it confronts us with, or challenges us to ask, what we want rather than what we supposedly are. It makes what we want, and what we want to be … the heart of the matter.

From pg 119:

For the pragmatists, unlike the psychoanalyst, the risk is that we avoid confronting what we want to be, what we might be, what we could be, by telling ourselves what we really are; as though we have delegated what we want to what we have been persuaded we are, or to what we are keen to take ourselves to be.

On the Timing of Responsibility

In May 2021, the cargo vessel X-Press Pearl caught fire off the coast of Sri Lanka. After burning for days before eventually sinking, the ship released 70- 75 billion plastic nurdles into the Indian Ocean. Fishing was suspended for months, and coastal livelihoods were disrupted almost overnight. A

Where does consciousness sit in time? This paper proposes that awareness arises through recursive temporal integration—a dynamic interplay between moment and memory, system and context. The foundation for everything that followed.

A quotation from The Bible

We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
 
[μὴ σκοπούντων ἡμῶν τὰ βλεπόμενα ἀλλὰ τὰ μὴ βλεπόμενα· τὰ γὰρ βλεπόμενα πρόσκαιρα, τὰ δὲ μὴ βλεπόμενα αἰώνια.]

The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
2 Corinthians 4: 18 [KJV (1611)]

On Wednesday, August 13th, Firestorm Books is teaming up with AK Press to host an online event with multidisciplinary artist Rasheedah Phillips, author of a radical new treatise on time, "Dismantling the Master's Clock." Rasheedah will be joined in conversation by geographer and Scalawag founding editor Danielle Purifoy!

In "Dismantling the Master's Clock: On Race, Space, and Time," Rasheedah Phillips unfolds the history of time and its legacy of racial oppression, from colonial exploration and the plantation system to the establishment of Daylight Savings. Yet Black communities have long subverted space-time through such tools of resistance as Juneteenth, tenant organizing, ritual, and time travel. What could Black liberation look like if the past were as changeable as the future?

Register for this free event and find your copy of the book at https://firestorm.coop/events/3429-dismantling-the-masters-clock.html. Can't make the conversation live? Sign up and we'll send you a recording to enjoy at your convenience!

New blogpost: Short-lived platform transport services https://www.bijt.org/wordpress/2023/11/15/short-lived-platform-transport-services/ #PlatformUrbanism #PublicTransport #temporality

Open Humanities Press is pleased to announce the #openaccess publication of The Rubble of Culture: Debris of an Extinct Thought by David A. Collings:

http://www.openhumanitiespress.org/books/titles/the-rubble-of-culture/

'Humanity now faces the possibility it will become extinct over the next few decades or so. This raises the prospect of thought’s own #extinction. But what does it mean for thought that it, too, might disappear?

No familiar practice rests on a secure ground; under the prospect of humanity’s extinction, each one is shattered. The cultural legacy becomes a field of rubble.

This book moves through this field to reconsider the emergence of #capitalism and #biopower the science of #climate change, and philosophies of #temporality

In the process it contends with many innovative waves of thought from the past two centuries, from German #idealism to #deconstruction, from #psychoanalysis to #queertheory, from #decolonizing theory to #afropessimism, and from the critique of #ideology to speculative realism.'

A rather pointed, good and correct quote on #economics and #growth from a 2005 paper by Andrew Abbott. It is well worth thinking about #process and #temporality. And possible #futures.
