I listened to the entire video. I struggle with what he says in its purest form. But..I struggle much more with "Enlightenment " in its purest presented form.
I think he made two points. One, that much of what we attribute to the Enlightenment in terms of how we govern were developed much earlier. And two, that the Enlightments's main project was to replace the values people back then shared in religion with reason, and that that was a huge mistake.
