Hmm there’s now enough here to write up. Usually this is the stage where I’ve convinced myself a solution exists and lose interest for a year before writing a long post about it when I’m in a random heavy-lift mood looking for something to do.

A rude caricature is forming in my head: “everything is about re-enchantment except re-enchantment itself, which is about Nazi aesthetics”

The last time anyone successfully achieved re-enchantment was probably P. G. Wodehouse.
