Key Notes
normative
Chinese students are highly motivated by grades and degrees, but to thrive in the future they must learn passion, intrinsic motivation, and love of learning for itself.
model
The quoted Sidonia passage says reason and utility cannot organize society because great historical movements are driven by passion, imagination, adoration, and command.
model
Jiang reads the death of Jesus as a narrative pattern of betrayal, isolation, submission, refusal of defense, passion, and public execution.
interpretation
Robespierre's final actions line up with the Jesus Passion closely enough that Jiang treats him as consciously or subconsciously acting out that mythology for France.
