        Ideas such as God, freedom, immortality, the world, first beginning, and final end have only a regulative function for knowledge, since they cannot find fulfilling instances among objects of experience.
      - challenged acceptance of that premodern cosmological order
        
        favoring secularizing forces, which led to an unbalanced type of individualism and to a nation-state structure that was at once bureaucratic and dehumanizing.
        
        Self-Determination
        
        substitute the phenomenon of or the reality of our creatureliness, is the desire to be the products of auto creation, we want to not have our fates our lives defined by what came before us or that into which we were born but we rather want to create ourselves we want to be agents in our own realisation.
        
        Manipulative Marketing Tactics to produce artificially created needs that superficially appear to be autonomous decision-making
    - - The pluralism evident in the ship's mortley crew is molded into one organism directed to fultil the mad goal of a mad man. Diversity yields s to conformity in the service of a mission without meaning
      - Global monoculture of conformity through westernisation

        Mechanistic economics
        
        Utilitarianism, especially from Jeremy Bentham, subjectivized values and replaced the common good with aggregate interest, setting the stage for a mechanistic view of corporations as profit-maximizing machines.
        
        Mechanistic economics falsely perceives individuals and society as subject to unalterable "economic laws," neglecting the dynamic role of human beings in shaping economic structures.
        
        mechanistic paradigm of neoclassical economics, a departure from concrete notions of subjective well-being and objective welfare and how they should be pursued.

        Empowerment of financial literacy
        
        The importance of moral thinking to lead economic systems has been pushed to the sidelines to value the materialistic creation of prosperity
        
        compared to a humanistic paradigm of past economic systems
        
        Aristotle's distinction between wealth-seeking and household management, Aquinas's emphasis on justice and charity in commerce, and Smith's tripartite framework for market regulation underscored the enduring connection between ethics and economics for over two millennia

        Requirement of civility
        
        What has happened is a decay of what makes the social machine function - a breakdown of the mutual tolerance and respect that allows room in a complex plural society for individuals to live their own lives in peace. It creates social and psychological space for people to live their own lives and make their own choices.
        
        Requirement of cohesion
        
        A democracy is interminable, and in fact any democratic victory that leads to the extinguishment the opposing side is not a democracy. That then becomes a form of coercion in that if you don't accept that particular outcome you have no voice, you have no say within democratic life, that is democracy presupposes opposition exactly. Contempt turns interminable disagreements into incommensurable disagreements.
        
        predicated on a fundamental conviction of interpersonal equality.
        
        through social contract theory: that individuals, in a hypothetical agreement, willingly form a society, consenting to organized governance for mutual benefit, protection of natural rights, and the establishment of legitimate authority.

        Dichotomy of optimistic individualism within liberalism

        seeking new forms of community online
        promises emancipation and offers new forms of community that transcend physical social bonds with the price of sacrificing privacy
        
        Monetisation of data and behavioural profiling to use predictive analysis in an age of attention capitalism

        postpatriotic, postfamilial, disaffiliated cultural way of life
        
        Optimistic Individualism is incommensurable with democracy as it removes the desire for a common goal through deliberation or compromise
        
        emphasizing personal success and autonomy may conflict with the collaborative and compromise-driven nature of democratic decision-making.

        Dehumanisation - degradation of language as people become more passive
        
        we outsource our knowledge to a commercialized world brain, which—in its propagation of mass media and fragmented information—has neither stake nor interest in our intellectual growth
- - - - The loss of civility means that social feeling has been replaced by defensiveness, with groups circling their wagons around ‘identity’ concepts of nationality, ethnicity and religion, protecting themselves by putting up barriers against others. Civility fosters a society that behaves well towards itself, whose members respect the intrinsic value of the individual and the rights of people different from themselves.
