On the correct interpretation of Q4408
I could be wrong, but I think some on this board are misinterpreting drop Q4408.
If you actually read the 'Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy' link Q gave us, a picture emerges, that differs from that coming from only reading the parts Q quoted.
Here is a summary of the 4 introductory paragraphs of the article:
-
Enlightenment was not a localized phenomenon. It is instead associated to several geographical hubs of thinkers, not necessarily happening at the same time.
-
What is the central theme that links together these groups of thinkers? The idea of challenging dogma, by using free-thought, in order to advance the frontier of knowledge.
-
Enlightenment is often thought by many as an historical period, associated with the political revolutions of the late 18th century themselves [1st part of Q4408 corresponds to this] and their ideals.
>The Enlightenment is often associated with its political revolutions and ideals, especially the French Revolution of 1789. The energy created and expressed by the intellectual foment of Enlightenment thinkers contributes to the growing wave of social unrest in France in the eighteenth century. The social unrest comes to a head in the violent political upheaval which sweeps away the traditionally and hierarchically structured ancien régime (the monarchy, the privileges of the nobility, the political power of the Catholic Church). The French revolutionaries meant to establish in place of the ancien régime a new reason-based order instituting the Enlightenment ideals of liberty and equality.
But even in this 'Enlightenment as a historical period' view, Enlightenment is considered to have essentially ended when the Terror began in France, and when Romanticism took over in other places.
-
HOWEVER, for the Enlightenment thinkers themselves, Enlightenment is not an historical period, but a process.
Specifically, it has been defined as [and that's the 2nd part of Q4408]:
>the process of undertaking to think for oneself, to employ and rely on one’s own intellectual capacities in determining what to believe and how to act.
This comes with suspicion or hostility towards those that decide what you should think and forbid you to think otherwise, even if you can clearly see it is not true.
One should awaken to its own intellectual powers, to generate real advancement.
So, based on the SEP article + the specific quotes Q made + Q4407 and other subsequent drops, a possible interpretation of Q4408 could be:
-
Enlightenment is often only associated, in the minds of many, to the revolutions themselves and their ideals of liberty and equality, INSTEAD of the process of FREE-THOUGHT.
-
What happened during the 1789 revolution, was the fomenting of unrest under the pretense of implementing 'enlightened ideals'
-[THAT'S THE NARRATIVE THE 'USEFUL IDIOTS' SJW STUDENTS AND UNSUSPECTING LOOTERS PAID BY ANTIFA ARE FED]
-
They were brain-washed into thinking they were going to take over the 'Ancien Régime' status quo, and put in place a better regime instead
-[THAT'S WHAT THE SJW AND OTHERS BELIEVE]
-Q stops the quote here: [WE ARE REACHING THIS POINT, THE PRECIPICE]
-
But that's not what happened. The real 'revolutionary' plotters had other plans for them: communism, terror, etc.
-[THAT'S WHAT THE CABAL WANTS FOR US]
-
HOWEVER, Q and the patriots are going to turn the cabal plot on its head, BY EXPOSING THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE, and STOPPING THEIR TREASONOUS SCHEMES BY USING THE INTEL THEY GATHERED.
-[This connects to Q4409, Q4411 to Q4415, and other recent drops]
TL;DR:
Q and the patriots intend to exploit the murderous old guard's plan of fomenting a 'revolution for good' (hiding the fact that it actually is a mean to destroy everything and take back control), using the fact that the 'PRECIPICE POINT', which will make people fear for their lives, will force people to pay attention.
But instead of being fed the OG plan as salvation, Q and co. will turn the plan on its head before it reaches the CRITICAL POINT, avoiding catastrophic repercussion on the public, and possibly significantly contributing the Great Awakening.
