I guess what I'm getting at is that I think our species biggest achilles heel is our incredible ability at self-delusion. The one thing the Enlightenment that was a huge boon was to create and put faith in systems that would serve to control and limit our ability to delude ourselves - through science - or more accurately the scientific method; through governments of laws, not men that favored transparency and power seperation over secrecy and arbitrary decision making by unaccountable functionaries.
We're really at our best, as a species and as individuals when we're not deluding ourselves and satisfying our egos with illusion...
