I could never remember that term, but one means a disposition of people, desires or actions you might say and other rationalizations that these aims. The rationalizations change all the time. But the desires remained fairly constant. Does anyone remember the terms, drawing on pareto, i cant remember sorry. The point however is there is permanent disposition, which you called idealism which certainly fits and occurs again and again and events it seems to me not just arguments. Defense has to conf...

Whats in the balance here if youre not careful is you can be precisely wrong. You ...
