It’s hard to deny there isn’t some dark enchantment, it’s just cloaked in the guise of personal autonomy and neutrality. Chesterton makes a similar argument in his everlasting man, how the moderns have a unfounded wrong headed view of “prehistory” as he calls it, because they have been seduced or enchanted into thinking that their advancements have made them enlightened. He makes it clear that there is some intellectual snobbery, that makes them foolish and more degenerate than whom they are trying to critique

Don’t worry Noelle, anything you decide to write on is so worth it, no need to make promises
