I learned about the term #Enlightened #Centrism on the weekend and I love it (not them). I had known the principle, but had never known the term.

Enlightened Centrists are - for example, Elon Musk, Jordan Peterson - who supposedly seek a centrist view, but usually wind up attacking the left and defending the right.

Because they don't understand the paradox of intolerance, or that unfettered libertarianism never works in practice because some people will always be selfish greedy assholes.

Thanks to everyone who came out, in-person and virtually, to our #tour of #CoeurDAlene in #NorthIdaho last weekend!

I'm a rational #enlightened person. I don't find anything beautiful except the philosophy of cunt. Ah, 🙄, #Kant I mean.

@DrJackBrown

This is my favorite shot ever. This was not a black and white photo nor was it edited or filtered. It was taken with a cell phone camera in 2015 under foggy conditions. Probably on a Google Nexus phone or a popular android device that year.

This is Punta Gorda lighthouse in Petrolia, CA. We had a local guide get us to this location and assist us with the purpose for being there.

Our purpose for being there was to partake in a coordinated group social event that involved hundreds of people across several states and likely from other countries too. We were creating a mega field for the game #Ingress which involved a competition between two teams. The #Enlightened and the #Resistance. We had driven over 350 miles to be there. Hiked a specific and unadvertised path. Had to be stealthy to accomplish the goal. And had to use bgan data for 8 different high level players to succeed. It was a blast and we always succeeded. If not the exact moment we wanted, we did so very soon after. #Frogs

What are the #enlightened like?

Dear Friends of The Enlightenment,❤️‍🔥

There I was watching DWnews, when a #wonderful expose of #Tibetan #Buddhist #ignorance was being shown …
Obviously it is time to question our state of #Being throughout the #Fediverse.

Join in one corner of the debate here

As we may know the enlightened are present to protect, #empower and open what can not be done in the dank/dark/trollverse … except by the #Enlightened … 😶:ablobthink0grav: :blobcheer:

If you thought the #witchtrials were a high point in #toxic #patriarchy, Tractate Sotah would like to have a word. I mean, I don’t expect the average #Rabbi whose words are recorded in #Talmud to be the most #enlightened. But the #stereotyping about #women is absolutely #offthehook in these pages. Words like #retrograde and #atavistic are spot on here. I’d like to think that most of us have moved beyond whatever that…stuff is. I fear there are too many in power who haven’t, or worse, won’t.

@theautisticcoach

It was through meeting #ActuallyAutistic individuals that I got #enlightened in a way that the field of medicine could never enlighten me.

Stale and boring papers which people think up in isolation without contact with #ActualPeople who actually get #diagnosed and without interacting with them in meaningful ways leads to #BadScience.

I gathered a global following not because I had barely experienced any #humanrights throughout my entire Life!

But,

Because #IAM #enlightened

Sad...

I'd forgotten how motivating Ingress is at getting you out of the house each day!

The enlightenment justification for #colonialization
( Warning: contains explicit racist statements )

Emanuel #Kant about how humans developed universal reasoning:

"This is the form of #bourgeois (bürgerliche) society.

This structure, as becomes clear again and again, is not found outside of #Europe. [!]

Thus, the "passages in which the supposed laziness or inability to work of various non-white groups of people is mentioned appear in a completely new light. When, for example, Indians are said to be too weak for hard work, too indifferent for industrious, and incapable of all culture, it becomes clear that this is connected with a statement about these people in the relationship between nature and reason." -- Emanuel Kant

In the time after Kants death, white #enlightened #Europeans murdered and killed 150.000.000 humans in the colonies from 1800 to 1900.
