Taking a break from writing to lift weights in backyard; was listening to Feldman's "For Philip Guston" upstairs; but now I can't tell if the sounds I am hearing are Feldman's strange flute intervals through the window or the back-&-forth calls of the Japanese bush warblers 鶯.

We should be conservatives because good things, including nations and institutions, are fragile.
They are hard to build up and require careful maintenance to continue functioning well.
Leftism is a blight because it wants to tear things down indiscriminately, and despises good things in particular for the crime of not being perfect.
They pretend they are doing us a favor by trying to liberate us from good things, like the family or morality.

As a former postdoc at the Center for the Study of Christianity at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, I warmly recommend this fellowship to young scholars of Christianity. The deadline approaches — 30 June 2026. A truly singular opportunity.

今日授業で教えた極めて重要なレッスンの一つ→恋愛関係に於いてはS-M構造と上下関係構造は全然違うものとして考えねばならぬ。「青刺」も含め谷崎の多くの作品が教えてくれる様に一方がドMでありながらも上に立ちその相手を完全に支配する事は全然ありなので、その点くれぐれも気をつけてください

Should my classical-vernacular-mix [gazoku setchuu 雅俗折衷] bandーSwarthyfaceーever release an album, it is highly probable that our first album will be called Swarthyface Contra Mundum.

style in which subjectivity/imagination takes precedent over naturalistic observation, [physical] blindness enables [imaginative/poietic] sight/vision, etc. Without Narrator2 (her crazy alter-ego as a girl) there is no Narrator 1 (Kanai the author). 4/4end youtu.be/4--IijG24po?si=Q159…

In the story, Narrator 1 [the adult author] meets this younger alter-ego, listens to her crazy story, unites with her in the end,& thereby overcomes her present writer's block. All the gruesome stuff at the end about self-blinding is a metafictional metaphor for her own writing 3

writing/écriture? From whence does it come?" She answers:"Do you really want to know? It ain't pretty," & then proceeds to confess how as a young girl she had an alter-ego w an insanely active imagination, full of weird animalistic blood-sexual fantasies, Elektra complex, etc. 2/

Every now&then while teaching a work in class I will suddenly locate the vantage from which the truth of the text is revealed. This happened today with Kanai Mieko’s 金井美恵子 “Rabbits” (Usagi 兎, 1972). Imagine an interview in which Kanai is asked "What is the source of your 1/

*seinfeld* was a great show, but watching it today, w kids, after many years, one is struck by its antinatalism, its banalization of sex, its normalization of what paul calls πορνεία. in its defense, it was made in the 90s, before the telos of the sex-revolution had become clear.

Verdict from today's class: my reading of Kanai Mieko's story ❨see below video❩ is basically correct. I would only add that the work is also both an I-novel 私小説, esp. 心境小説 variety, as well as a Kunstlerroman, or 芸術家小説 as we say here in the Orient. Narrator 1=N 2.

It is because my spirit is, at core, Prussian that I am able to get on so well here in Japan; for Japan, it has long been said, is the Prussia of the Orient.

On immigration, hard-nationalists & leftlib media-academia are mirror images, both manichean in their framing: immigration/immigrants are either absolute evil or absolute good. What is missing is consideration of scale, moderation, zhonyong 中庸. Will the New Center plz stand up?

Years ago I had a middle-aged neighbor who fancied himself a tsū 通 (sophisticate). He would often take me out for night on town. I quickly learned that he was not a tsū but a hankatsū (halfbaked tsū). Little did I realize we were reenacting *Yūshi Hōgen* (Playboy Dialect, 1770).
