>man wants to love itself
>this is achieved through the participation to enterprises which have certain goals
>these goals need to be seen as objective to feel satisfactory
>none of these goals are objective (through the enterprises can be objective)
>reason grows with time through the learned repetition of past discoveries or the increased possibilities of the division of the thought labor
>reason teaches us that the aforementioned goals are subjective
>as time passes the number of goals that feel satisfactory decreases
>as time passes it becomes harder for man to love itself
>as such one can talk of degeneracy of self-love
>self-love being the only thing that matters for man, we can talk of a degeneracy of man
