Until we start teaching that lesson — as I’ve been arguing here for years and years and years now — we’re doomed to repeat the kinds of foundational errors that, when nestled into the rules of “legitimate” hermeneutic procedures, will always and (irony!) intentionally move us away from individual autonomy and toward tyranny.
