4		-====Humans possess a tripartite soul—the will must act as an intermediary between reason and desire, or else moral decision-making and culpability could not be possible, nor could we explain any weakness of the will.====

11		-====Next, objects inherently merit certain responses—our passions are not arbitrary. Ethics consists of getting those responses right. Otherwise A~~ we could not connect reason to desire, and B~~ we could not even explain why truth merits a certain response, namely belief, which would render reasoning impossible.====

24		-
25		-====Thus, the standard is consistency with the Ordo Amoris, or affording objects appropriate degrees of love. This is not aggregative—for example, even if I love cake, I ought not love 10 cakes more than I love my parents. Moreover, the quantity of love is irrelevant—it's a relational question. I can have ridiculous love for myself and still not be selfish if I love others even more.====

38		-====~~2~~ Reject demands for perfect articulation of reasons for our order of valuation. No matter how many reasons I give you for why I love my parents, I can never fully express this love to you, but that does not mean this love is unjustified. Philosophy places too much emphasis on this articulacy.====

55		-====First is humanity: **pro-nuclear beliefs value technological progress over people. They stratify society by placing power into the hands of the few, and inhibit virtue by causing us to underestimate our own moral and cognitive limitations. This sustains the dominant viewpoint that technological development is synonymous with human growth.====**
