I prefer to identify as a field philosopher. What does this mean? It means not assuming that individual concept creation is possible. Joy, labor, imaginative thinking are all the results of a quorum sensing, quorum activity. In some cases, formal institutions allow for this. However, free collective interaction is now difficult to develop everywhere in the world, as daily life shows. That is why I try to avoid firm ties with institutions when philosophizing. I also believe that the academic paper genre is becoming less relevant as a mode of philosophical workings. specifically in the context of a field philosophy. This of course does not mean get rid of texts or other modes of representing philosophy altogether. Just nt necessarily in the form of a 'paper' or high-brow 'expert' comment. People tend not not speak or understand professional jargon of philosophers. And I am interested in people, and other creatures, their lives, their reactions. Interacting with various people and groups allows me to advance in the field of concept co-creation. Sometimes with greater success, sometimes with less success. What makes me happy is knowing that I am not alone in this movement. Throughout my life, I have been a member of numerous communities, as well as the founder of several. Some are no longer alive, while others still exist. Some are yet to be born. I continue to traverse.
