Most of the Enlightenment was a mistake, a big fat distended bowel of a mistake, that should've been surgically removed but it wasn't, because we as a species thought it was a good thing. But it wasn't. It's just getting stinkier and more rancid as time goes on.
>>18122440Excellent argument anon.
>>18122440Not completely. Shitting on the Enlightenment is too popular. Everyone in academia already does it so its lost its purpose.
>>18122440Yeah let's come back to the times where people believed in magic and believed in witches a demons. Those were the good old times.
>tfw rationalism and empiricism have been debunked
>>18122568Ok let's go forward and believe that everyone has the ability and real power to improve society, even though.. it's really just white people.
>>18122568Or no, I don't want to be "that guy" from /pol/ and say it's just white people, let's analyze this more and say that certain white men (and not women very much actually) with an exceptional intelligence pushed society forward.. this whole world therefore revolves around them and their accomplishments.
>>18122568But this isn't "the white race" this is just individuals that happened to have intellectual capacity to do more than the average person, which was basically other white men at the time.
>>18122440>t. no gf and most likely on estrogen
>>18122578The bible stands alone
>>18122440anti intellectualism is disturbingly popular among today's terminally online young people
>>18122631I have no gf but no I'm not on estrogen so you're wrong on that also clear out your thoughts you have a very nasty mind up there>>18122647This is a critique against some parts of the Enlightenment, not all of it, for example I am not against Hobbes I do agree with him wholeheartedly.
>>18122650>This is a critique against some parts of the EnlightenmentYeah, the parts that make you uncomfortable because you're not strong enough to face them.
>>18122652No they're mostly lies, rather I'm just angry at lies.
>>18122655crust is kang
The Endarkenment was an act of the devil. Modernity comes from the pit
>>18122660Who is "the devil"? What are his aims? And why?
>>18122650>no gfHow would the Enlightenment not happening effect this >>18122655>they're mostly liesWhat is? Stop being a faggot, OP
>>18122440haha OP I love froggo XD
>>18122658Ok so thirdworlders believing in Islam are "equal" and our "brothers" too, in the same goals? 1789 set the precedence for much of the ills today.>>18122810>How would the Enlightenment not happening effect thisWhy does bringing up a gf matter? Why the fuck does this matter, what is wrong with you normoid? Why is everything about sex with you? I'm chatting about social dynamics in regards to the way people think and operate this has not much to do with sex unless you're a pornstar.Are you a pornstar, Anon? Is that all you think about?>What is? Stop being a faggot, OPLiberty, equality, and fraternity are mostly bullshit, especially in my own experience, Anon. I'm not gonna have any friends once I'm old, my parents are near dying in their 70s, everybody even my siblings hates me because I was born the way I am, and they deride me for it like the hypocrites they are, not thinking about their own shortcomings or how they're assholes perpetuating a state of shittery from their own ignorance about other people. For them, it's really just taking advantage of other people and their resources. All of this is a spook, all of this is bullshit, and most on 4chan are the masters of spouting bullshit.
>>18122440Daily reminder, if you're American and reject the Enlightenment you should kill yourself unironically because it doesn't make any sense, unless you want to revert to British rule.
Luckily there are some who are still proponents of truth and it comes from some of the most miserable of people around, I -suppose- it has to be that way to get any real point across
>>18123483I never stated I hated all of the Enlightenment, even Jefferson and Adams did not like the French Revolution
Whoever is my opponent in this thread, no you aren't equal to anyone else, no you aren't free, no nobody really loves youYou're a huge faggot yourself if you're arguing with me about any of this
All of this can be largely reduced and critiqued upon to fine details, I'm sure I don't need to elaborate on it, so yes the Enlightenment was a fucking mistake
Or atleast most of it, it needs to be severely updated
>>18123480>I'm chatting about social dynamics in regards toNo you fucking weren't you faggot >wwwaaahhh I was born a retard wwwaaaaahhh everything is heckin bullshit wwwaaaahhhDo your family a favor and ack yourself then or grow the fuck up and stop being an entitled retard. Life isn't fair faggot and /his/ isn't your faggy diary
>>18123536>literally ignoring the fact that life isn't equal, that you're not free to do anything you want, that nobody loves you unless you have resources
>>18123536The only people who benefit from this are other more fortunate people keeping others down, it's just another veil to cast over all others so that the more fortunate in life can get away with whatever the fuck they're doing
>>18123536I'm assuming that's you since you're trying to shut me down over thisThere SHOULD be a revolution not only about this but so many other things too
I’m convinced Francis Bacon was gutting newborn babies on a sacrifice alter between writing sessions of new organon.
This is all Anon's arguments are going to amount to>Uhh shutup I don't want to hear this because it's ugly even tho it's true :)>You're a uhm.. loser, ok?>I don't careThis is anti-intellectualism at its finest
Nothing to bring to the table about anything just keeping others down in muddling ignorance so they can't fucking take you by the throat and tell you how it is
This is what the elites have been trying to do for hundreds of years and the new thing, the new fad was the Enlightenment
Atleast with medieval societies you ACTUALLY knew your place instead of this new pacifying bullshit that needed to be in place because everyone was suddenly up in arms with the spread and pace of technology so they definitely needed some way to put down the commoners so why not gently persuade them that they're the "same" as any other person? And that they "deserve" to have a good life? Hmmm? Very convincing, this human rights stuff. Though it means jacksquat in reality.
Nobody gives a single shit because I'm human, they give a shit about what resources I bring, about the money I have, about what I can give them. It has nothing to do with me as a person. They don't love me for this, that I'm another human being. And this is shown by our current society.
Take away everything about a man, put him into a coma, he's just another medical bill for somebody. A pain to deal with. Nothing good about them, huh?
Fuck all of you, for thinking human existence is something great or worthwhile. It has its fleeting moments, and there are only a few who can truly say their lives were wothwhile.Are these lives equal to us, are they freer, and in brotherhood to us? Meaningless terms just to hoodwink us. It's all a farce, and it's all absolutely a monstrosity that this is continued.
The ONLY thing that any of us are equal in, is death, and thank God for that. That I will atleast, indirectly, get my just dues against everyone else.
I actually want to know who my opponents were and where they're coming from on this it would be nice to know who they are atleastGo ahead and tell me so I can scrutinize you further
Does you no justice to sit idly by, cowardly, looking at these posts as I absolutely shit on most of your existences so go ahead and tell me where I'm "wrong" with this
As for my allies in this whoever you are, I say this to you, this society needs to do better or it would be better off it just perished. Western liberal democracy is not enough.
