IVIV (12): 195-197

[David Morris]

The logical (and silly) conclusion to your reasoning would be that "In
TRP's vision" the world would be better off without the Enlightenment,
and science itself.  If I believed TRP thought that, I'd have chucked
out all his books long ago.  It's too stupid for words.

I'm sure things were idyllic back in the days of the bubonic plague.
And I'm sure all those serfs were treated with the utmost kindness by
their Lordly keepers, not to mention their clergy.

Now you can see why I've kept my mouth shut till now.

This is a major reason why technology, maybe science itself, is much more against us---in his vision---than for us. The preterites have no power; never have.
