>René Descartes (1596-1650) is often attributed as the one who blessed us with the dubious vision of mind-body dualism, but he was just playing into an emergent spirit of the times that was beginning to view rational thought as the true essence of humanity.

The Enlightenment was a first attempt to grow beyond centuries of monstrous, irrational, suicidally destructive monarchy and religious dictatorship.

While rationality has limits and a complex relationship with the body, it's still far more likely to keep you alive and healthy than a nostalgic hankering for a strong father figure and a thin pretext for bullying empathic effective adults.
