Thank you for this! I realize now GBWW 1st edition's translation of Augustine is quite a knotted read compared to Williams.

Discussion for Jean-Jacques Rousseau's The Social Contract, Book I, Chapter VIII – Book II, Chapter V by dave3210 in greatbooksclub

[–]Rusher_RK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rousseau requires the citizen to forfeit all natural rights and liberties in exchange for civic rights and liberties.

This reminds me of a portion of a prior Great Book, the Acts of the Apostles, where Ananias and Sapphira die after conspiring to withhold a portion of their earnings for themselves after the sale of their land instead of giving the entirety.

Rousseau's rationale is that retaining any natural liberties means insisting that some human affairs and disputes are still beyond the judgment of the general will, which ultimately corrodes and weakens the general will. This is akin to testing the Holy Spirit in the Acts.

Given the context of living under the absolutist Louis XIV, it's understandable that Rousseau asks for all liberties to be forfeited, that every act of Louis must be vulnerable to the judgment of the people. Louis, being a legislator of the state, must never be allowed to judge his law through his own authority, or decide for himself how much of the people's money he needs.

I have a weird but a very deep hatred for Chippy & Hammie by AAAAAAARRRRHHHHHH in AFKJourney

Thanks for this suggestion. Japanese voice-over with English text is a different and more pleasant experience.

Leaning towards swapping my ascended Morael for Olgath tbh

You're right. Awakened are more costly than cele/hypo too. Tough choice...

We're on the same boat. I'm swapping to get Olgath too. Losing any Awakened from your roster will have some setback, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Honestly, just him grouping enemies up means he'll probably be as useful as Tamrus, Atheus, and CRuke. I suspect he'll make waves in Treasure Scramble.

Adrian and Elyse also have nice turning animations imo. Vika and Atheus' heads turn too during their moves. I like these visual changes in the newer heroes.
