You're listening to the partially examined life episode 389 part two.

We've been discussing the wealth versus state power section in self-alienated spirit slash culture. We are up to what, 519 or so?

Yeah, then we still have to do 519. And that's a, yeah, substantial one as opposed to the thin,

You probably already read that.

That instead of it being a canceled essence, it develops an essential being receives within a spirit of its own.

And then this is probably why we're confused.

The form of this movement has already been set forth in detail. So we don't have to characterize
