i need heroes. my hero is jun tsuji, someone who is long dead, whose wikipedia page is badly sourced, and whose stories are as outlandish as they are removed from me. for me, jun tsuji makes the perfect hero. i can never meet him. i will never be impacted by him, or even read what he actually wrote -tho i occasionally make a token gesture towards learning japanese-. it is said, by his wikipedia page;
In 1932 Tsuji was institutionalized in a psychiatric hospital after what would become popularly known as the "Tengu Incident".[12] According to some accounts, one night during a party at a friend's residence, Tsuji climbed to the second floor and began flapping his arms crying "I am the Tengu!", eventually jumping from the building, running around, and jumping onto the table calling "kyaaaaaa, kyaaaa!!"[13]

After hospitalization, Tsuji was diagnosed as having experienced a temporary psychosis
i have been hospitalised for temporary psychosis. like him i am a fan of stirnerian philosophy, and of epicurean thought. this guy lived as a busker, and wrote prolifically before his mental illness and crippling alcoholism got the better of him. why not put him on a a little pedestal, in my room, and pray to the Beautiful Idea, with him as the Icon? anything to help pass the day? every little helps?
