Not the OP, but I think that was the high point of the particular European centric civilization that came out of the Enlightenment. There will be other high points for sure, but each will come when their own civilizations reach maturity. And no, nobody alive today will see one of those, it is too late in the previous cycle and too early in the next one for that. But you can make the next one happen today by mastering something worthy and passing it on to the next (human) generation. There's people not yet born who will use that as raw material to create stuff that we would not be able to understand even if it hit us in the nose.
