LESSON IV: ROUSSEAU

questions: 
how to reconcile freedom & develop a sense of future?
collective interests & common good

what makes us tick
appetites & aversions


it is, only if you make it:
source of sense
sense of honor
honor by vanity
vanity by any means

mutual limitations of personal liberties 
to live in harmony
to submit to, oh, 
(we are the authors)

forced to be free
internally conflicted

complex & troubled


reality:
conflict breeds disconnection,
fuels the illusion of separateness.
inspired rebellion in the name of reform

a solution is possible, we can undo
the process of devastation, if we created it

abandon petty & private self-interests
(quiet internal critic)
no ambivalent participants
