In this episode, solidarity is discussed. An argument is put forth that the innate orientation to others (that the virtue of solidarity calls for) is one essence of pur character, that as a collective, we have lost. This deficiency is attributed to (1) a misunderstanding of the tripartite duty of solidarity (that is, we reduce it to one dimension) and (2) that misunderstanding being perpetuated through ideology. It is suggested that critical thought and institutions that are invested in maintaining avenues that inspire individuals to cultivate their own moral conscience will potentially remedy the deficiency and eliminate the ideological illusions.
