Enlightenment Is Pernicious, Because It Challenges the Naturalized Domain of Qualification

With the rationality, or rationalism that is often associated with enlightenment comes a very prominent irrationalism. We impose upon nature a kind of ordering that doesn't exist in nature. But we do that to it in order to better control it. So by enlarge, any kind of newness that we see, or saw, with the emergence of the enlightenment is more a cosmetic change than anything else. It's particularly pernicious because any challenge to it works to more or less reaffirm it. And what that does as it reaffirms the system's domination and its righteousness over anything that might oppose it.
