A batch of the best highlights from what Jophin's read, .
A good X,where X is some social role, is one who makes all the (countless, tiny) decisions required to perform that role in accordance with a substantive role-ideal.

What Is My Role in Changing the System? A New Model of Responsibility for Structural Injustice

This sudden groundswell of people who have lost their memories today is no coincidence . . . They are here to tell us something. And believe me, one day, very soon, the majority of people will start returning to the past of their own accord, they’ll start “losing” their memories willingly. The time is coming when more and more people will want to hide in the cave of the past, to turn back. And not for happy reasons, by the way. We need to be ready with the bomb shelter of the past. Call it the time shelter, if you will.
