What will the next Enlightenment be like?

Will religion make a resurgence? Will people understand the truth of traditional ideals, categorical imperatives, beauty, love, and hard work?

Will art have a renaissance beyond the post-modern decadence?

People will understand the importance of the environment and maybe a paradigm shift happens of how we relate to it. Namely less distinction, more of anus understanding.

More people think broadly about the human condition, less focus on personal responsibility and more focus on joint social responsibility that enables individuals to succeed.

Art will continue to change, a diversity of movements my form away from easy to replicate art and maybe a resurgence of.classical style. Or technology will disrupt the artworld of AI created masterpieces which shake our conceptions of art.

Socialism continues to gain ground as automation continues to make unecessary labour seem more and more barbaric. Potentially ushering in the major change in terms of freedom. Free from the demands of labour, our lives can be our own.

I think this Jewish Philosopher prophecized it right

""The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today's races and classes will gradually disappear...The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future, similar in its appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples.""

Why would you like diversity? Why would replace the white race with one inferior?

>> No.5624694

I like world-wide diversity, not diversity within one country or population.

>Why would replace the white race with one inferior?

Not replacing any races, keeping them the way they are is diversity. Mixing them together isn't

>Christianity destroyed for us the whole harvest of ancient civilization, and later it also destroyed for us the whole harvest of Mohammedan civilization. The wonderful culture of the Moors in Spain, which was fundamentally nearer to us and appealed more to our senses and tastes than that of Rome and Greece, was trampled down (—I do not say by what sort of feet—) Why? Because it had to thank noble and manly instincts for its origin—because it said yes to life, even to the rare and refined luxuriousness of Moorish life!… The crusaders later made war on something before which it would have been more fitting for them to have grovelled in the dust—a civilization beside which even that of our nineteenth century seems very poor and very “senile.”—What they wanted, of course, was booty: the orient was rich…. Let us put aside our prejudices! The crusades were a higher form of piracy, nothing more! The German nobility, which is fundamentally a Viking nobility, was in its element there: the church knew only too well how the German nobility was to be won…. The German noble, always the “Swiss guard” of the church, always in the service of every bad instinct of the church—but well paid…. Consider the fact that it is precisely the aid of German swords and German blood and valour that has enabled the church to carry through its war to the death upon everything noble on earth! At this point a host of painful questions suggest themselves. The German nobility stands outside the history of the higher civilization: the reason is obvious…. Christianity, alcohol—the two great means of corruption…. Intrinsically there should be no more choice between Islam and Christianity than there is between an Arab and a Jew. The decision is already reached; nobody remains at liberty to choose here. Either a man is a Chandala or he is not…. “War to the knife with Rome! Peace and friendship with Islam!”: this was the feeling, this was the act, of that great free spirit, that genius among German emperors, Frederick II. What! must a German first be a genius, a free spirit, before he can feel decently? I can’t make out how a German could ever feel Christian….

Attempting to preserve your race can lead to autism and other birth defects.
Liberal eugenics and gene therapy will solve most of what stormdurps whine about anyways. Culture is more important than aesthetic features, homo.

ya the utopia is interesting and the idea of living in accordance with dreams. Behavior that leads to success is tied to respect, to concern but not to judgment.

a lot of actions are seen as "judgmental" by outsiders when they actually revolve around 'concern' and a certain value or respect that is hard to see

Actually it's more like "pump out those babies, oh noes the decline of ideological never-ending economic growth that does jack shit for the masses, the furnaces need new hands to tend!" at least judging by the major news outlets today.
