      I didn’t. I thought the enlightenment was more of a move away from superstition and toward reason, but never once did I think it addressed capitalism. I also don’t remember ever thinking it was any sort of absolute movement. I mean shit, look around five minutes, we have never had a reason to think society is based on science. It’s based on competing human impulses, just so happens that greed is a heavyweight champ in that ring.

      Depends on the science I guess. It’s more based off of macro-economics than it is environmentalism. Then companies throw in some micro economics to help finish off their enemies (working class competition).
