And because of this slavery, genocide and imperialism are a consequence of the Enlightenment? Did none of these exist before the Enlightenment? And were there not forces at work during the Enlightenment that ameliorated them?https://twitter.com/AdamRutherford/status/1370293998846349312 …

This is not even a contestable fact. It’s demonstrably true. Human classification sits at the roots of the emergence of science in the 18th C, and in all cases it was both hierarchical and in service of the political ideology of European expansion, colonialism and subjugation.

  Does anyone else read Peterson's tweets in his calming, yet assertive, voice?

  It's probably because of the enlightenment that the west was largely able to abolish slavery and slowly give people equal rights.

  How ridiculous. Slavery, genocide, subjugation were in plentiful supply before the enlightenment. It's part of our Sapiens nature. Only through the enlightenment did we figure out that we could rise above this part of our flawed nature. Christians would argue they always knew.

  A consequence or an accelerant? Distinction is important, especially for folks who sell books.
