Do any of you know of people who effectively communicate a critique of something like romanticism? Context: I was thinking about simple enjoyment. I can imagine a good critique of a saccharine version of that, but I’m not sure that’s a huge problem compared to almost everything.

It’s too easy to just relax into a particular way of being, and I’m not ready to stop pretending that other schools of thought might have something interesting to say about the various pitfalls of inhabiting a human meat sack.

I've spent too much time outside, with water and trees and wind and rocks, to the point where *not enjoying* or appreciating natural beauty would not even be possible for me if I can't enjoy the way the bark of a ponderosa pine looks when the sun strikes it, what can I enjoy?

Yeah...I’m not quite sure what romantism is supposed to be, and I also have little clue about what a critique of romantic beauty would look like. Although in conversation with practitioners it seems easy to pick up on failure modes, like being overly reliant on warm fuzzies, etc
