Democratizing Enlightenment | February 12, 2015


We must take care, in our age of scientific mastery, not to treat enlightenment as the ultimate technological discovery, a state in which everything is understood, a kind of unified field theory of the spirit where only experts reign. This is not the quality of real insight. Real awakening should bring home to us the inexplicability, even unknowability, of our world.

- Lewis Richmond, "Enlightenment Needs a Minyan"
