Deep dives
The inherent transgression of the Ten Commandments
Gigi discusses how each commandment comes with its own implicit transgression. For example, the right to privacy implies the right to adultery and secret activities. The right to pursue happiness and possess private property can lead to stealing or exploiting others. The freedom of the press and expression of opinion can be seen as the right to lie. Furthermore, Gigi mentions the right of free citizens to possess weapons, which allows for killing. He emphasizes that the transgressions and the commandments are interconnected.
The importance of implicit rules and the problem of belief
The discussion delves into the distinction between explicit and implicit rules. Explicit rules, such as official laws and practices, are easily observable. However, implicit rules operate in a virtual and rumor-based territory. The materiality of belief lies in our actual material practices, not just in subjective relations. The podcast references Blaise Pascal, who states that faith comes from actual physical practices like kneeling and praying.
