## Extracted Topic Notes

- Truth, virtue, and the force that draws the person toward wisdom and the divine. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-deledxh0ceg@transcript:v1#seg-0008`
- definition: Zoroastrianism reorders polytheism by placing Ahura Mazda as lord of wisdom and locating heaven and hell as forces inside the human person: Asha as truth and Drush as lie. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-deledxh0ceg@transcript:v1#seg-0007`, `video:predictive-history-deledxh0ceg@transcript:v1#seg-0008`
- definition: Asha is not merely telling factual truth; it is a system of virtue that makes the person a representative of Ahura Mazda on earth. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-deledxh0ceg@transcript:v1#seg-0009`
- model: Jiang maps Asha onto three Kantian principles: universality, free will, and treating each human as an end rather than a means. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-deledxh0ceg@transcript:v1#seg-0010`, `video:predictive-history-deledxh0ceg@transcript:v1#seg-0011`, `video:predictive-history-deledxh0ceg@transcript:v1#seg-0012`
- model: Plato's cave becomes Jiang's metaphor for Asha: liberation is incomplete until the freed person returns to help others escape. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-deledxh0ceg@transcript:v1#seg-0014`, `video:predictive-history-deledxh0ceg@transcript:v1#seg-0015`, `video:predictive-history-deledxh0ceg@transcript:v1#seg-0016`
- normative: Asha is not only self-truth; the one who sees truth has a responsibility to help others see it too. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-deledxh0ceg@transcript:v1#seg-0017`, `video:predictive-history-deledxh0ceg@transcript:v1#seg-0018`
- normative: Even in a world of evil, Jiang says the individual must choose good and tell the truth because Ahura Mazda will know and judge the choice. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-deledxh0ceg@transcript:v1#seg-0025`, `video:predictive-history-deledxh0ceg@transcript:v1#seg-0026`, `video:predictive-history-deledxh0ceg@transcript:v1#seg-0027`
- model: Following Asha means doing God's work: a choice made in the heart changes the world for the better. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-deledxh0ceg@transcript:v1#seg-0028`
- diagnosis: Jiang answers the problem of evil by saying virtue must come from vice; humans are born in Drush so they may discover Asha. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-deledxh0ceg@transcript:v1#seg-0039`, `video:predictive-history-deledxh0ceg@transcript:v1#seg-0040`
