Dialogue: 0,0:00:02.41,0:00:05.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the résumé virtues and \Nthe eulogy virtues.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.54,0:00:08.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The résumé virtues are the\Nones you put on your résumé,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.44,0:00:11.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which are the skills \Nyou bring to the marketplace.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.91,0:00:13.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The eulogy virtues are the ones

Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.41,0:00:24.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And most of us, including \Nme, would say

Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.13,0:00:30.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But at least in my case, \Nare they the ones that
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.20,0:00:33.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think about the most? \NAnd the answer is no.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.00,0:00:35.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I've been thinking about that problem,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.30,0:00:36.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a thinker who has \Nhelped me think about it

Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.73,0:00:57.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Adam II is the humble\Nside of our nature.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.47,0:01:00.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Adam II wants not only \Nto do good but to be good,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.28,0:01:02.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to live in a way internally

Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.92,0:01:10.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Adam II wants to hear \Na calling and obey the world.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.69,0:01:13.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Adam I savors accomplishment.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.18,0:01:15.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Adam II savors inner \Nconsistency and strength.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.86,0:01:18.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Adam I asks how things work.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.60,0:01:20.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Adam II asks why we're here.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.02,0:01:27.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Adam II's motto is "love, redemption and return."
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.27,0:01:29.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And Soloveitchik argued \Nthat these two sides

Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.09,0:01:39.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the tricky thing, \NI'd say, about these
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.58,0:01:41.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,two sides of our nature is they work
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.27,0:01:43.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by different logics.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.68,0:01:45.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The external logic is \Nan economic logic:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.91,0:01:49.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,input leads to output, \Nrisk leads to reward.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.38,0:01:51.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The internal side of our nature
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.16,0:01:54.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is a moral logic and \Noften an inverse logic.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.87,0:02:12.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We happen to live in a society \Nthat favors Adam I,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.81,0:02:15.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and often neglects Adam II.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.05,0:02:18.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the problem is, that turns\Nyou into a shrewd animal

Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.84,0:02:22.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you become a cold, \Ncalculating creature

Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.72,0:03:04.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and often, the mind \Ngravitates in the past

Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.43,0:03:38.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you fight that sin and you wrestle with that sin,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.30,0:03:41.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and out of that wrestling, \Nthat suffering,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.43,0:03:45.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then a depth of character is constructed.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.05,0:03:46.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we're often not\Ntaught to recognize

Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.09,0:03:49.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in that we're not taught in this culture
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.94,0:03:51.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how to wrestle with it,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.88,0:03:54.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how to confront it, \Nand how to combat it.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.56,0:03:57.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We live in a culture \Nwith an Adam I mentality
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.88,0:04:01.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where we're inarticulate \Nabout Adam II.
