BAP tossing and turning in bed in recent nights, sweating, mumbling “no... no... enlightenment... dork shit... Nooo” as Hume torments him in his nightmares.

if you have to pick an era for inspiration/obsession pick something sexy like antiquity. Nobody sits in bed at night thinking about Hume etc. one way or another. This is an affectation picked up to appeal to academics and some media

Battle of the books, ancients vs moderns, its all happening again. Neo-classical bap, pining for integration of antiquity, the superior holistic man, bap reading Winckelmann, a closet enlightener? Spooky if true

Its not about ‘picking an era’ this is stupid idea, not how you go about things. One must learn all of history, and enlightement should be studied not as arbitrary affectation, but to understand how modernity was created and what its flaws/errors are
