Reading more papers mainly on psychoanalysis and poetics and i just thought that— kunikida is a poet, doppo poet. The matchless poet, — his wound is not merely moral but ontological, he is horrified by the fact that people can die without ideals, imagine you are a writer— imagine dying without a narrative, without any poetics attached to your essence of living, and I realised that I feel haunted too, by the realisation of knowing the actuality of people dying without meaning, without narrative, without any principle to hold their existence together— and kunikida witnessed that. This meaninglessness feels to him more cruel and merciless, because the constant poking of survivors guilt suffocates him. His entire worldview is built around a rigid ego ideal, a belief that life must be lived with purpose, integrity, and value, and when deaths occur that have no moral architecture around them, it shatters the very framework through which he interprets reality— he lives in the dissonance of ideal ego and the ego which is lonely, harsh and self critical. Psychoanalytically, this confronts him with the collapse of his ego ideal—hermeneutically, it becomes a crisis of interpretation where the world refuses to supply meaning, and through the lens of speculative realism, the indifferent universe reveals itself as utterly non-human, unconcerned with the ideals he tries to impose. What tortures him is precisely this collision between his anthropocentric moral system and a cosmos that allows lives to be extinguished for nothing, “just like that,” exposing the terrifying gap between how the world should function according to his ideals and how it actually does. Fuck this bro I'm going to cry bye.
If you read the author's work, you see narratives of moral purity, conflicts between ideal ego and ego, revolt against external dogma, inner ideal centrality, nature based metaphors, and taxonomy of characters— he's.... He's a poet y'all, he's rigid, yes he's a martial artist, yes he's a math instructor, yes ALL OF THAT, yet he's also an idealist, And i feel the impact of him wishing his ideals consumed him in that particular scene when we saw jouno confronting him, NOW. [Takes a very deep breath]
