The Enlightenment's belief that the world is composed of dead, valueless objects is a faulty metaphysical assumption.

“The metaphysics of the enlightenment were wrong. Rationality is at the base because the world's made out of objects and you can calculate your way forward with valuefree objective knowledge. Like none of that's right.”

The Enlightenment project mistakenly promoted a form of hubris by elevating human reason above the foundational narrative structures of existence.

“And so we delve deep into the philosophical relationship between enlightenment rationality and the underlying narrative substructure.”
