the enlightenment was overall a net negative solely for the fact that it made blacks equal among whites
you'd have to be completely blind to think otherwise

The chapter on D&E in Nihil Unbound filtered me. How does reason emerge from primitive god worship? What is the difference between mimesis and mimicry. Adornobros help me out.

>In the speculative anthropology proposed by Adorno and Horkheimer, instrumental rea- son is the extension of tool-use and hence a function of adaptational constraints. The emergence of instrumental rationality is inseparable from the primordial confrontation between dominating and dominated powers which primitive humanity experienced in its powerlessness before all-powerful nature. Sacrifice is the attempt to effect a commensuration between these incommensurables – between the omnipotence of nature and the impotence of primitive humanity. Yet from the outset sacrificial magic presupposed the logic of mimesis: ‘At the magical stage dream and image were not regarded as mere signs of things but were linked to them by resemblance or name. The relationship was not one of inten- tion but of kinship. Magic like science is concerned with ends but it pur- sues them through mimesis, not through an increasing distance from the object’ (Adorno and Horkheimer 2002: 7). Mimesis establishes the equivalence between dissimilars which provides the precondition for sacrifice. It provides a non-conceptual commensuration of particularity with generality, thereby allowing one to serve as a substitute for the other"
