#Enlightenment⁣
dumbest country on planet earth. society of people directly shown the power and possibility of enlightenment who consciously dragged themselves back into ignorance.

The cool thing about brains is our subconscious can identify with ANY story character, morally calculating love vs hunger, heroism vs villainy.

And we'll get it relatively right about them (because story structure) even when our ego fails to calculate our OWN heroism realistically

Then Leibniz and his friends who were under enlightenment influences, in turn try to make senses of d east through reasoning and transfer Christian thinking into eastern occult! Computer science was based on Germanic binary later coincide with IChing of Zhou dynasty, n regional scientists!

i've read Land as well since Mark Fisher was a big intro to philosophy guy for me and the ccru has some interesting stuff.
Unfortunately, my former friend really liked the accelerationist angle which was way too far for me and last I saw was a "dark enlightenment" mencius moldbug guy

Process YOUR anxiety into grief plus WISDOM.

And PUSH Democrats to DO the SAME.
THAT is how we save the planet.

#Enlightenment is the emergency brake that STOPS us from eating mindlessly to our own destruction.

NEVER waste an ego door.

Your triggers are YOUR emotions trying to WAKE YOU UP...

It’s really hard to believe that it’s been over four centuries since The Enlightenment and we’re still doing this

Holding the paradox means recognizing your responsibility for being comprehensible

AND

perspective-matching others

Empathizing with idiots is easy.
Haha TOO easy
#Enlightenment

Our frustration can level up OUR cognition but calling them an idiot usually triggers them to resist understanding MORE

Infantilization via orientalism is the right wing version

Orientalism via infantilization is the liberal version

"IDK they're just folks that speak a language I don't but they make some cool shows and video games" is true enlightenment.

"As God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again"

that's Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind having an ANTI- #Enlightenment moment

letting evil-dumb fear of future lack BLOCK greater love for life and reality

Morally clear people don't aspire to dictatorship, is the problem.

Benevolence requires grieving what you harm.

A benevolent dictator would be signing up to a LOT of grief.

#Enlightenment

Ambition for control is HUNGER, not love.
The paradox blocks wisdom from taking power.

“Democracy has been hailed as, like, the holy grail for the last couple hundred years, but democracies are inefficient,” said the crypto billionaire. “If you get a benevolent dictator, it’s actually extremely efficient."

Hmm, where have I heard this before?

It also could be designed to prioritize reality-fidelity and human emotional well-being, but that's antithetical to profit

They built a hunger-machine, thinking it could trick them into loving life

#Enlightenment is the technology they're looking for

GRIEVING past harms to life wakes the brain UP
This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Not even kidding or trying to snark, do you think most of the C-suite inhabitants at AI firms could even give you an historically accurate regurgitation of the basic definitions of the enlightenment and liberalism?

Love for reality is the force that defeats the evil-dumb hunger eating reality

They'll criminalize #Enlightenment itself.

The path to greater wisdom is THROUGH fear-doors

Profiteers resist their fear-doors, rationalizing their harms to life, externalizing the self-loathing, STARVING for love
I hope everyone sees this for what it is. They make it illegal to be anarchist. Despite the First Amendment.

They don’t criminalize being a Democrat or a “Democratic Socialist” because those things aren’t real threats to their power. Y’all “go high.” It does nothing.

We exist and they imprison us.

You're still fully capable of doing harms when you find #Enlightenment

You're just more strategic in your sacrifices, more honest and direct, and more resistant to taking easy-profit shortcuts when there's a better option to serve MORE life.

Moral clarity is what SAVES the world.

CARE about life.

Thought bubble: Calling the developments in 18th Century knowledge and philosophy "The Enlightenment" may have some claim to accuracy -- but it was also maybe the greatest branding campaign in European history.

I found #Enlightenment because I was the weirdo crying when developers cut down the beautiful old tree to build a road to a bunch of stupid houses for worthless people

I RECOGNIZED the loss of life they COULDN'T

And I wasn't afraid to CRY about it

Crying is how brains level UP love for REALITY

DEEPSTASH ON X! Seriously it's propaganda for the "Dark Enlightenment" boys! It's very glossy & very very dangerous! Now I can't do much now a/b anything! Thats true! All I can manage is posting! I'm trying to change that & I'm making progress as slow as it is BUT I KNOW THEZ GUYS GAME SO HEADS UP!
October 5, 2026 at 4:58 PM
It's REALLY annoying that religions took the mind's natural reality-understanding process and USED it to profit, which is WHAT hunger, evil, greed IS.

Denying other people #Enlightenment for MONEY is very bad behavior, leading to the #ArmageddonCapitalism that's BROKEN the climate...
