What I understand from my first lecture of chapter seventy-six is that we make connections that leads us to other significations. For example, because a plant is supple and weak when alive and dry and stiff when dead, that means that supple and weak is better than stiff and dry because it’s on the alive side. No matter what the alive is, it is better than the dead. We are then going to favorize the alive “qualities” even if from a west-tern way of thinking they are not good because they mean life.
