None of these things matter. You may think you're happy with antidepressants and more gizmos to distract you, but you're more spiritually dead than any of your ancestors.

Modernity is nothing but advancements made in flippant, meaningless things; while what truly matters is left to rot.

Yawn.

Do the world and yourself a favour and kys. there's a good retard.

It's a shame the Enlightenment has kept you alive this long so you managed to find one bad thing about it, well done.

I'm not going to stand here and listen to you badmouth the greatest democracy the world has ever known.

the divide of western faith and breaking the church's power
Oh wait that wasn't beneficial

>>2308556
Wasn't Western faith already divided by the time the enlightenment came around?

>>2308271
what's most ironic about your post is that if it wasn't for the advancements of the enlightenment, you would more than likely be dead before age 15.

maybe the enlightenment was a mistake for that
