I love critical theory, I love seminars, I love reading groups, I love universities as public goods, I love historiography of disciplines and knowledge itself, I love difficulty and difficult questions, and I love the humanities being human. And that's the hill I die on.

Wonderful essay this week looking at grief and sorrow, through the aesthetics of music.

"But we are fated
To find no foothold, no rest,
And suffering mortals
Dwindle and fall
Headlong from one
Hour to the next,
Hurled like water
From ledge to ledge
Downward for years to the vague abyss."
Hyperion's Song of Fate,
--Friedrich Hölderlin.

"What unites these disparate cultures, policy environments and demographics [in their tendency to low birthrates], researchers are now realizing, is young people’s inescapable and crushing sense that the future is too uncertain for the lifelong commitment of parenthood."

This February essay for @the_point_mag looking back at the history of the N+1 publication, by co-founder Marco Roth, seems to have flown under the radar but is worth a close reading. Very honest and astute on a matter of great importance. I think any serious male writer trying to accomplish anything meaningful over the past 10 years would have to admit—if he is honest—to something like this being the great psychological challenge of the current frontier. Some are handling it better or worse than others, but I've yet to see anyone name it so perfectly while also, admirably, sharing their own failures. The next era of independent arts and letters will be led by men and women who understand this problem well enough to solve it. Is Marco Roth even on X? I can't find him.

You should be following @r0manticon.
"If an individual is naked, there is no nobility in this, no honesty—you see somebody naked, and, rather than wishing to join him in his honesty, “you say, ‘Who is that man?’” Nakedness shifts from being a symbolic precondition of corporate honesty and acceptance of our own humanity to exposure, disgrace, and shame: shame, because the individual did not seek to be honest: they were forced to be so by circumstances beyond their control."
Read Jones Hogsed in @r0manticon today on two poets of American democracy--Whitman of the open road and the freewheelin' Bob Dylan.

Spring will comes soon enough, but if your caught in the snow why don’t you read about it’s erotic warmth in the context of D.H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterly’s Lover.

I keep translating Rilke because he is an ideal winter poet to me in German. Trakl to me is firmly autumnal. Sometime I’ll go back to Mittelhochdeutsch and steal @mcmansionhell’s valor for a little Nibelungenlied, but I need short form right now. Who are your German winter poets?

Here it is, the second must-read of the day: "Icarus in Alaska" by @communecore. This is one of the most important essays Anthony has written in recent months, a synthesis of what he has lived and thought of late, but also of longstanding, and the links between the newest thoughts and their deepest roots. Read it now on @r0manticon.

@ThouArtThat wrote a wonderful essay on Whiteheadian perception.
Part I looks at Steiner’s fourfold structure of human being and how its layering can point us towards a subjective natural philosophy to complement the objective science of discursive representations.
