Exploring Models of Behavior from Great Books and Their Impact on Humanity
This chapter delves into the significance of internalizing figures from great books and its relation to empathy and compassion. It discusses memetic desire, self-consciousness, and the projection of harmful actions onto others, comparing human interaction to physics. The conversation also examines the relationship between high achievement, perceived unpleasantness, and the concept of 'higher men' as envisioned by Nietzsche.
