- How and when to do conceptual genealogies like Nietzsche

- Mental proliferation within a single mind
- The resistance to abstraction by those who don't live in the built environment (Luria)
- Individualism in Montaigne and Fichte
- The issue of "obviousnesses" in Althusser's Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses
