Weaponized Enlightenment



     So, in a couple of my posts over the years, I've dropped the term "weaponized insanity" a few times and in a few contexts.


To define it and describe it, weaponized insanity is the use of psychological, information, or chemical means to induce a state of insanity on an individual or culture/nation and get them to tear themselves apart and self-destruct through fear and madness.


 It's a concept that's been explored before in movies and books. A good example would be the psychotropic hallucinogen in Batman Begins that the bad guys use to attack Gotham City with.


   I'd like to explore a different concept. "Weaponized Enlightenment." This would be the inverse of weaponized insanity. It would be the use of psychological, information, or chemical means to give complete and utter clarity and awareness of truth and reality to an individual or culture/nation and get the population to have complete and full cognitive and mental functionality.


     Using a tactic of weaponized enlightenment, to where truth and knowledge about the mysteries and wonders of existence are amplified and imprinted on the minds of people would not be so much an act of weaponry as much as an act of liberation, but it has the effect of a weapon by eradicating all fear, darkness, and doubt in a targeted population. This would drastically increase the functionality, unity, and cooperation between people, and total and complete enlightenment would help do away with one of the biggest catalysts for conflict and war: Deception and darkness.


Such a hypothetical "weapon" would serve as a massive liberating and advancing force for humanity.


Unfortunately, this is mostly hypothetical. It would be hard to develop a strategy that's applicable that's akin to "weaponized enlightenment." The closest thing we have is decent, quality education.
