I insist on a definition that excludes explicit, intentional, knowing harm to self and others. Is that unreasonable?

absolutely unintentional harm is vastly more disqualifying than intentional harm

the only thing worth calling enlightenment is perception of the system of the world a lot of people, this knocks them out of awfulness they were only committed to because they thought it was inherently important but you chop wood and carry water after in service to your choices

the conflation of enlightenment with hippy dippy peace and love shit is just marketing when it isn't PR cover for exploitation

if you claim to have perceived the system of the world, however, and afterward would never ever intentionally harm anyone but just sort of flop around unintentionally harming them all the time despite your hippy dippy peace and love shit, well, you ain't perceive it too good huh

Yes, but now we’re talking about a third sense of the word enlightened, correct perception of the world, which is neither a persistently depressed DMN nor broadly-scoped compassion for others. These three senses are all in the vernacular, and they occur independently.
