      Okay, I’ve read your piece. I’ll share my views, as there are flaws throughout.

      Lets first touch on “objective truths.” Outside of mathematics, affirming an objective truth can be, well, sticky. Me and you see a tree, but from different vantage points, thus, are can objectively say that it is an objective truth that there is a tree in front of us. 1.

      Me and you both see a tree; both are objective truths,but with different subjective http://experiences.You  can see a heart carved on a tree, an objective truth from your vantage point, but relative to the position to which I’m viewing the tree, would be outside of 2.

      Second, you speak of the Enlightenment bringing forth science, mathematics, etc., without acknowledging that much of these breakthroughs occurred in India, i.e., gravitational force, planet rotation, etc. 5.

      Upon discovering the writings of the Indian intelligentsia, James Mill, disregarded as nonsense. Due to his perceived views of Indian inferiority 6.

      India also invented the decimal system, of which we all used, appropriated by Europeans as a discovery all of their own. It’s also important to recognize Arab and Iranian achievement in the math and sciences as well 7.

      When you talk of the enlightenment brining democracy, that’s also not necessarily true. You can go as far back as A.D. 400, where Muslims in India engaged in open discussions of how to Best govern. Same has occurred in Africa, and certain Arab communities as well 8.

      I'm not writing about the history of the Muslim world or Africa or Arabia! It's already 9000 words just arguing for recent western developments and comparing them to what came before and what threatens to come after.
