I've been trying to interview 'enlightened' people and it's so hard because people's relationship with that word is extremely fucky. People are like "yes i am basically everything described by enlightenment but no i'm not enlightened" and I *get* it but it makes this hard

Cause I'm asking all around the internet for 'enlightened' people and people are quick to respond 'if anybody claims they're enlightened, they're wrong' and im like ok yes i understand however what words do you want me to use instead because obviously something is going on here

Sounds like a heisenberg problem. What is the qualification for an interviewee to suit your purposes, and could such people be labeled something not self-falsifying?

I've interviewed 6 people so far; so far I'm accepting everyone who claims enlightenment, no matter what. A few of them have insisted they're not enlightened, that enlightenment is nonsensical, but they want to talk about it anyway.
