Kids are just discovering that I am something of a kanji savant. They will never stump me. Right now we're playing a game where they read the kunyomi of a kanji from their kokugo textbooks, ＆ I say the onyomi ＆ the mandarin pronunciation. Just got 潟 correct.

夏目漱石「夢十夜」の第六夜にも同じような話がある、仏師運慶（ca. 1150-1223）の話で。「あれは眉や鼻を鑿で作るんじゃない。あの通りの眉や鼻が木の中に埋まっているのを、鑿と槌の力で掘り出すまでだ。」 https://t.co/xeartYzmrG

Ruan Ji [210–263] cultivated the persona of the "drunken madman" to avoid the social demands of Confucian society, and he was renowned for his “transcendental whistling” (changxiao), which in Chinese antiquity was associated with Daoist mysticism and spirit summoning.

I never see or experience anything directly. Everything I see or experience is mediated through precursor texts, through the traditions ❨whether Sino-Japanese, Western, or Byzantine❩. In Japanese, we call this mitate 見立, or "seeing by comparison."

ソニー・ロリンズが亡くなった。95歳。彼の名曲「中国行きのスロウボート」は今の日本ではむしろ村上春樹の短編のタイトルとして知られている。「友よ、中国はあまりに遠い」で結ばれる痛切な傑作だ。個人的にはこの曲を高市早苗さんに捧げたい。「あなたを中国行きのゆっくりした船に乗せたい」

It isn't so much scratch a liberal & you'll find a fascist (as the saying has it) but rather scratch a liberal & [very often] you'll find a profoundly darkened nous νοῦς.

"Honkadori 本歌取, or allusive variation, involves the incorporation of some of the diction & conception of an earlier ‘foundation poem’ (honka), modifying it by adding something new” ー Laurel Rasplica Rodd (2015, XXXIII)

@culture_think excellent; I leave all that stuff up to my kids' most excellent piano teacher [who has had many students grow into concert pianists]. very important to find an excellent piano teacher in the area. my only suggestions: Hanon books & Bach Inventions to start out!

this has been true in my experience → "if literature stays away from evil, it rapidly becomes boring." ーGeorge Bataille

only a gulliver-like figure can broker and enforce a peace between the lilliputians and the blefuscudians. it's a shame there isn't some roman-empire-like hegemon around today to impose and maintain order from above.

@C2Antiquity I’m a 40 year old black man raising 3 kids by myself. I’ve been a catechumen for over a year. My parish has converts of all races. The Holy Spirit is calling people back to its Church. It’s insulting to think only white people are converting

Very happy for him; I wept when the announcer Joe Davis told viewers the story of how he lost much of his family, including his father, in the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami of 2011. I don't think many anglophones knew before that broadcast.

@DrThemi Happily many of those taboos, esp those around gender ＆ sexual ethics, will always remain bc they are built into the very structure of the Real. As you noted in your first Hermitix interview ❨which I thoroughly enjoyed❩, not everything can be reduced to the Symbolic, to Geist.

I think I went through a Bataille phase ❨in terms of life practices, modes of thought❩ in my twenties and early thirties, despite only being vaguely aware of his ideas; strange how this is possible.

@DrThemi Indeed. Since fourth grade, I have always been one who has wanted to do that which is not allowed; and now that all transgressions are allowed, even encouraged, the only thing I can do is refuse the mandate to transgress.
