The Age of Enlightenment That Never Happened!

 

Let’s examine few disconnected paragraphs first, to prove the captioned post’s headline:

  • ·    Goldman Sachs's analysts’ once noted that curing patients is not a sustainable business model! And the synthetic Covid era indeed ratified that across World.
  • ·     From G-77 to G-20 plus 1 to G-8 minus 1; everyone’s in the quest of establishing the ultimate G-Spot, eventually, leading to an unending wars between the rising and ruling for it.
  • Any difference, between the then EIC & today's many MNCs?
  • ·     The trust on Historians was so low, that, history genuinely transformed into a subject of entertainment, rather enlightenment for learning; so much so that people flocked onto random YouTube channels for it to experience tailor made historical facts & fictions.
  • ·     Talks of inclusivity, love all love wins, equality, equity, became merely a political ammo to galvanize ruckus & riots.
  • ·    Once, it was only the right that was restricted to regional vernacular, pro-regional expansionists, pro-dynasts, pro-monarchs! Today, the leftists/liberals are pro-dynasts, pro-wars, pro-expansionists, pro-whatever right was once.

Now, the then hon’ble President Obama once said that ‘now is the greatest time to be alive.’ But, if we are comparing comfort with enlightenment, or, the present-era enlightenment with dark ages or otherwise; then the above paras prove that we may’ve already lost the case for enlightenment after all, as, we ended up doing comparative analysis with what was never enlightened at all!
