I have to remark, I'm starting to acquaint myself with Rousseau's words and works - and this shall certainly aid me in discourse: something I can use to bounce thoughts back and forth. Thank you dearly!

great video but you've got amour de soi and amour propre the wrong way round. amour de soi is compassion and what drives collective love for one another, and amour propre is the egotistical form of love that leads to unhealthy comparisons and acting in self interest
