Do you know much about Transcendentalism? If not, maybe hit the Wikipedia page for the basics. Suggested essays if you’re ambitious. Song of Myself reads part ode to the philosophy and part a poetic form of persuasive essay to me.

I was just about to finish my English undergrad degree. I loved the Corrections (outside of class). I loved a bunch of stuff for classes: Walden, from a Transcendentalism class; The Morgesons, a surprise from a 19th c American Novels class; Paradise Lost, as part of a revelatory Milton class....

Transcendentalism is about not picking sides but figuring shit out, much better than most options at least

上野俊一『エマソン スパークするプネウマ』聴了。
昨日、易したらエマソンの言葉が出てきたので、よく知らんので、早速購入。
ラルフ・ワルド・エマーソン (Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803–1882): 米国の思想家、詩人。自然と人間の神性を説く「超越主義」の代表者。
超越主義（ちょうえつしゅぎ、Transcendentalism）は、19世紀中頃にアメリカのニューイングランドで展開された、個人の内面や直観、神性、自然との調和を重視する思想運動・哲学。
なかなか興味深い！！
Tropicで記事にしようかな。

The Word on Fire brand is maybe even more of a concern? I’m very haunted by how WoF characterizes queer persons on this point. Like here, in an essay that considers “transgenderism” indistinguishable from Emersonian transcendentalism. www.wordonfire.org/articles/tra...

So we're perfect for each other. Yay! The darker side is that our kids are unlikely to have Transcendentalism, Walden, Concord, and all that as any reference point. We live in Europe. Their lit education is ideological, not cultural. I gotta stay on top of Internet culture more than they

Maybe both.
