- A Secular Age 4: Modern Social Imaginaries, about 5/6 of the way through the chapter
- Rousseau's stuff resonates a lot with care attractor stuff
- "...goals of my co-agents, those participating with me in harmonization"
- "the love of the common good, which in the political context is known as the general will..."
- my concern for myself can take two different forms
- interesting quote a couple minutes later also that comments on the Snake Cult of Consciousness moment etc
- "the general will is the site of maximum transparency, in this sense, that we are opacity is inherent to particular wills which we often try to realize by indirect strategies using manipulation and false appearances. This touches on another form of representation of a quasi-theatrical type which is also bad and harmful."
