How sick I am of hearing people say that they adhere to 'Enlightenment values'!
What nonsense!

What was the Enlightenment but a bunch of intellectuals (albeit, some being creative geniuses - for what that is worth) abstractly theorizing along the lines of: wouldn't it be pleasant and useful if...?
*
What was the Enlightenment but an extremely brief and unsustainable cultural transition between much more lasting cultural types?
