What was - and is still - called The Enlightenment

was really the discovery
- or was it the invention ?
- of human ignorance,
which has led rapidly and greedily
to the trashing of the planet.

Ignorance became common sense, as the Enlightenment led to foregoing traditional knowledge in favor of trusting technocracies with the future. And the technocrats of today greedily speed towards the 'technological singularity', a Second Enlightenment, that will make the very last of them ignorant as well.
