You've heard of Robert Zimmerman, better known as Bob Dylan, and the 'white-Hispanic' George Zimmerman whose nomen<\/em> has proven to be one bad omen<\/em> indeed.  (Would we have heard about him at all had his name been Jorge Ramirez?)  <\/span><\/p>\n

Permit me to introduce you to J\u00e1ra Cimrman whose Czech surname, if I am not badly mistaken, is pronounced like 'Zimmerman' when the latter is pronounced as it is in German.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cimrman is quite a character with many noteworthy accomplishments to his credit.  One of them is authorship of the  philosophy of non-existentialism. As one reputable source<\/a> has it:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Long before  anyone had heard about Camus or Sartre, in 1886, Cimrman wrote pieces  like 'The Essence of the Existence', which became the basis for his  "Cimrmanism" philosophy, also referred to as "non-existentialism" (the main premise of this philosophy is that: "Existence cannot not exist").<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But if truth be told, this Cimrman is a plagiarist.  He stole the idea from me!  In Does Existence Itself Exist?<\/a> I defend the thesis that existence does indeed exist, and necessarily.  The despicable Cimrman passed off my idea as his own and tried to hide his crime by packaging my thesis under the verbally different but logically equivalent 'Existence cannot not exist'  He then falsely claimed to have developed his theory in 1886 long before my birth.<\/span><\/p>\n
