now listen i know i really need to spend more time with durkheim before im any good at actually talking about the man. but as ive inched ever closer and closer towards more silly sociology stuff and reading ive really come to appreciate how totally value-neutral all the stuff i've ever read on collective effervescence was.

#well ok value neutral might be imprecise and not optimal wording on my part #kazoo noises #the captain goes down with his scholarship #like okay. im a person who finds ritual and togetherness very interesting and lowkey a really fun part of being alive. right #so like my friend who was explaining this to me years ago used the examples of collective effervescence as 1) watching a sports game/match #together #or watching a public execution #like idk i know im a sap so i tend to probably lean towards the more happy side of things but that allowance of both things most people #regard as good and like. moral i guess. but also understand that like. public executions via vigilante justice are commonplace in us histor #idk i just really like that so much is allowed to be contained in a single thing being studied. i like that everyone ive ever met #whos into sociology and social science and shit is always so kind and fond of being alive even though theyre full of rage and spend their #lives studying some of the things that make being alive and people so so so difficult #like. every sociology prof ive ever spoken too has just been. so kind. so very full of love. just endlessly. like it costs them nothing to #give so much to the world around them. but they spend their life studying just. some of the worst outcomes you can have. its wild.#i should probably read and see if theres a way they can do that. i burn out emotionally way too fast for someone in library science.#anyway. this is my rant as i do my readings for class.#idk man im thinking about human elements and shit today
