1. If the classes cannot meddle in the affairs of others, but service to reason, spirit, and appetite can benefit all of them, isn't that weakening them? Should warriors not reason, workers have no courage, and philosophers refuse to work?
2. When applying the idea of reason governing the appetites to the real world, wouldn't we recognize that reason has succumbed to appetites though advertising, the scroll UI, pharmaceutical drugs, and hyperreal substitutes (video games and porn)? If the right way for personal and societal governance relies on reason as the master, and reason has been subordinated, does it not mean that the modern world is inherently unjust?
