The more time goes on, and the more "science" makes these "new" discoveries that religion and philosophy figured out centuries or even millennia ago, the more I realize the so-called "age of enlightenment" was a fucking scam that set humanity back further than we'll ever fully realize or appreciate. We chucked out all the old teachings and called them superstitious woo-woo nonsense only to spend the last 400 years rediscovering the same old shit at a snail's pace. Just how spiritually, morally, and even technologically developed could humanity be right now if we didn't start over from scratch for no good reason? If we'd done more to integrate religion and philosophy into science and not assume that anything religious or spiritual is automatically silly?
