idk it mainly seems like the thrust of the point is “mundane things can be profound” and yea, cool. i don’t see how enchantment is doing much for you here.
“don’t be ashamed to be impressed by the little things” mmk thumbs up emoji
ig im also extra protective of disenchantment because i feel like thats actually really powerful of a contribution, and has direct meaning in the “de-magic” sense and also crucially as an elliptically temporal concept. it implies prior enchantment to be investigated!
these two senses are distinct, and enchantment / disenchantment could both be true, but because of how thin the former is, i’m not very compelled to entertain it, especially because it’s sort of trying to position itself as an opponent of disenchantment
(“re-enchantment” maybe? now that would be more interesting!)
although that would be a more fruitful line of inquiry, still, this is kind of being posited as an ethical project/ideal, and disenchantment is more of a descriptive analysis. i guess you could make a case like “in spite of disenchant one ought to fight the tide of history to experience enchantment”
