I got a bit of a star on my side, haha. Rather out of touch like a Dostoevsky character, however I do find some bit of privilege - but not privilege in a material way. More so the privilege of pleasant (and sometimes unpleasant) ideation and the free-rein to reap and sow my own doings and capabilities. A bit of Emerson's individualism is good for an artist's balance between his work and the way he chooses to live his life. Often thankless either one, lol. Enjoyed the video!
Thanks for your comment! :) I agree with the association between the star and individualism. Jonas' journey of individuation was guided by his star. It seems tautological, but it makes sense.
So much enjoyed watching you guys wrestle with this - I couldn’t get anywhere on my own… then speculated about the political (exile / solidaire), the post-colonial ( Louise / de Beauvoir) and the biblical (Louise, Jonah and the whale story). But I didn’t know enough context to do anything with it. Becoming curiouser and curiouser, I finally poked my nose under the internet tent… thanks for a good time guys - soldier on! 🫡
Thanks a lot, Dan! You noted some of the paths we didn’t take (the biblical Jonah definitely resonates with aspects of Camus’ story - isolation in the loft). Hope you’re having a good weekend.
