[interpret this as me agreeing with and supporting you]
willowApr 19, 2024
the idea of autonomy is a spook, and nonetheless external motivations so egregious are impossible to ignore. i want ceaselessness. i want respite from the shallow unending grindstone gnawing away at my flesh. i’m unrecognizable, yet all too familiar. i want out.

and like concretely in this case, i'm bad right, i don't make anything special, i'm not prideful of my work, but i do want to be good, i get frustrated when i find something that works but lacks elegance, i get motivated and passionate about the modest and ugly things i do create, and embarrassed

when i make mistakes or don't understand something as much as i'd like. i admire greatness, and i'm incredibly fortunate that there's an abundance of it to go around in my circles. i don't want to simply be the conduit for some pathetic thing or dispassionately churn out uninspiring mediocrity.

i'm nearly certainly hardcore overthinking as usual, and this is clearly more of an issue of personal self-confidence and frustration with inadequacy; but that just makes it all the more awkward to even joke about, when i so clearly haven't earned it.

i'm fearful i won't be able to cultivate the right drives and powers to ever earn it, but i'm going to continue doing fun things when i can. i won't be great and that's fine, but at minimum i hope to be able participate.

yea we know
david graeber and david wengrow, the dawn of everything, pg 81 Yet originally this was an explicitly right-wing position, as explained by Ter Ellingson, the contemporary anthropologist who has reviewed the subject most comprehensively. Ellingson concluded there never was a 'noble savage' myth; at least not in the sense of a stereotype of simple societies living in an age of happy primordial innocence. Rather, travellers' accounts tend to supply a much more ambivalent picture, describing alien societies as a complicated, sometimes (to them) incoherent, mix of virtues and vices. What needs to be investigated, instead, might better be called the 'myth of the myth of the noble savage': why is it that certain Europeans began attributing such a naive position to others? The answer isn't pretty. The phrase 'noble savage' was in fact popularized a century or so after Rousseau, as a term of ridicule and abuse. It was deployed by a clique of outright racists, who in 1859 - as the British Empire reached its height of power - took over the British Ethnological Society and called for the extermination of inferior peoples.

i have a few anecdotes i always think about from the male anorexia book i read… developing an eating disorder as a response to being gay will never not be funny to me
understanding anorexia nervosa in males, pg 100, tom wooldridge Similarly, researchers have suggested that some males with anorexia nervosa experience pre-morbid homosexual panic (Crisp, 1967; Dally & Gomez, 1979). As their sexuality begins to take shape, males may be frightened by attraction to other males, and the elimination of sexual desire achieved through severe weight loss may protect them from confronting this fact. However, this hypothesis is not applicable to all males with anorexia nervosa; indeed, in my clinical experience some young men attempt extreme weight loss in an attempt to become more sexually attractive to other males. The relationship between male anorexia

Writing in the 1860s, Sir William Gull noted that the illness occurs in male patients. Around the same time, French physician Ernest-Charles Lasgue incisively described the family dynamics of male patients with anorexia nervosa (Andersen, 2014). These two physicians are also known for giving anorexia nervosa its cumbersome name. In fact, the disease received the name “anorexia nervosa” instead of “anorexia hysterica” because of the existence of male patients who could not be labeled “hysterical” according to medical custom at that time (Silverman, 1990). Over the next 100 years, however, males are almost unmentioned in the literature.
a lot of really interesting tidbits and a lot of all-too-familiar observations, plus plenty i never knew before. it made me laugh so many times because of how frequently absurd it all is

nietzsche, the gay science, preface Oh, those Greeks! They knew how to live. What is required for that is to stop courageously at the surface, the fold, the skin, to adore appearance, to believe in forms, tones, words, in the whole Olympus of appearance. Those Greeks were superficial-out of profundity. And is not this precisely what we are coming back to, we daredevils of the spirit who have climbed the highest and most dangerous peak of present thought and looked around from up there-we who have looked down from there? Are we not, precisely in this respect, Greeks? Adorers of forms, of tones, of words? And therefore-artists?

adorno, minima moralia 19 Do not knock. - Technification is making gestures in the meantime precise and rough - and thereby human beings. They drive all hesitation out of gestures, all consideration, all propriety [Gesittung]. They are subjected to the irreconcilable - ahistorical, as it were ー requirements of things. Thus one no longer learns to close a door softly, discreetly and yet firmly. Those of autos and frigidaires have to be slammed, others have the tendency to snap back by themselves and thus imposing on those who enter the incivility of not looking behind them, of not protecting the interior of the house which receives them. One cannot account for the newest human types without an understanding of the things in the environs which they continually encounter, all the way into their most secret innervations. What does it mean for the subject, that there are no window shutters anymore, which can be opened, but only frames to be brusquely shoved, no gentle latches but only handles to be turned, no front lawn, no barrier jainst the street, no wall around the garden? And which auto-driver has not felt the temptation, in the power of the motor, to run over the vermin of the street - passersby, children, bicyclists? In the movements which machines demand from their operators, lies already that which is violent, crashing, propulsively unceasing in Fascist mistreatment. Not the least fault for the dying out of experience . due to the fact that things assume a form under the law of their purposiveness which restrict their interaction to mere application, without the surplus - were it that of freedom of behavior, were it that of the autonomy of the thing - which might survive as the kernel of experience, because it is not consumed by the moment of action.
