What is Enlightenment? - Immanuel Kant

Narrated by yours truly... There's a few more paragraphs after I stopped that rehash the idea of "princes"/rulers/Frederick II should take the lead on balancing obligation/free expression like Kant gets into with the clergy. Also he like the idea of autocracy/limited personal freedom as more ideal than republic because the former can dictate the argument to be public. Like if you make freedom a wholly personal idea, people associate the discussion as part of their private lives and thus, i.m.h. interpretation, the idea becomes prioritize by pride, lust, charity, and other personal motives we all have (and should feel/enjoy) but aren't strictly relevant/rational to others (but not necessarily all others). Or maybe efficient would be a better word, Kant is the father of German Idealism after all... So yeah, Enlightenment is altogether a functional thing. It's what we're built to do (besides find sex and food...) the personal consequences to its pursuit aren't up for public discussion beyond the public removing what inhibits the individual for thinking for his or herself, wherever that may lead, the greatest enemy being fear (followed by lack of sex and food...). Anyways I'll record the rest later.
