Disenchantment

There is a sense in which Goethe's Faust is a reaction to the kind of person who plays glass bead games. Goethe, like the author of The Glass Bead Game, is an intellectual who believes that the highest pleasure comes from the exercise of the mind. However, Goethe's Faust is about someone who feels they have exhausted the pleasures of the mind. This is why Faust turns to the occult, in order to obtain a new perspective on life. Faust is seeking the Romantic reenchantment of a world he suffocated with purely rational thought.--- "A Techgnosis Butoh Grimoire" by Alley Faint Wurds, and GPT-3. AI generated grimoire.
