[MD] Is Enlightenment a sort of madness?

[ian glendinning]

Ilya,

Clearly "enlightenement" is a sort of madness. The madness label is
attached by the established majority who believe they already "know"
with certainty.

There but for the grace of god (or quality, or your preferred
metaphor) go we all, to the asylum.
