Re: What’s Wrong With The Enlightenment?
I haven't read the articles, since my posts then get deleted if I answer any direct things.
I once saw an interview with Dalai Lama ..he was ooooohhhh sooooo wiiiiseeee!! ..poured out his wisdom left and right, but when it came to the question if it was good to invade Iraq ..he was totally clueless, then he went home and read up on it, then he was ooooooooohhhh soooooo wiiiiseee in the next interview! .....................sigh!!!
Enlightenment is an outdated term, and only really means to have great knowledge in a limited area, and thusly have the ability to decipher some irrelevant litterature and such.
When it comes to actual critical thinking, holistically, abstract and relevance they'r totally clueless.
