1/ I love the Enlightenment. I hate authoritarianism. ...it took us less than 250 years to go from "kings shouldn't tell us what to do" to "gender isn't real, IQ isn't real, black skin is holy and white skin is sinful, a cult founded by a child rapist is a religion of peace"

2/ The biggest intellectual project, and the most important one I can imagine, is trying to fashion an Enlightenment 2.0 that does not spontaneously cut its own dick off and then prostrate itself before gutter ideologies.

3/ Is this possible? Or is the suicide baked into the cake, and it's just a simple matter of the state machine running forward to its inevitable end state? I don't know.

4/ I've had several replies telling me "human nature" no I accept human nature is as it is, but that is not the end of the discussion. This is a question of engineering IN THE FACE OF human nature.

Red Headed Steppeson @TheLumpenproleReplying to @MorlockPI kinda feel like the Enlightenment was always bullshit nowadays, ngl. The opposition to authoritarianism feels almost incidental to its rejection of spiritual truth, and can’t help but wonder what true principles it had. It feels very much like the Dune quote about freedom.1 reply 0 retweets 11 likesShow this thread -

10/ I'm not talking about engineering AROUND it, but engineering WITH IT. We don't build towers by engineering "around" soils; we study soils, we learn about them, then we engineer foundations that work based on how soils work.https://twitter.com/kitten_beloved/status/1371825553427230723 …

Justin Thyme @looking5452Replying to @MorlockPLiberalism cannot be sustained because its principles preclude its own self-protection. The only way to fortify it is to derive some verisimilitude with religion's innate appeal. Youth indoctrinated with bite-sized tenets and a demonstrable promise of a better life.3 replies 0 retweets 11 likesShow this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better.
