The subtle sudden realization that all religions are false constructs of control, there is no salvation, and we are all already in Hell.
Usually it’s just laughed about and joked about by those that know as “the Cosmic Joke.”
Otherwise, to summarize simply:
Nothing is True,
Everything is Permitted.

Person 1: You seem so happy all the time and nothing seems to get you down, what’s your secret?
Person 2: Oh you know, just laughing about Enlightenment.

Get the Weeb Enlightenment mug.At least two types exist:
1. Person who claims to reject what they perceive as "both sides," while ignoring the realization that centrism carries the implication of embracing the virtues of both sides.
2. Person who claims to be moderate, yet exhibits a pattern of behavior that typically and exclusively defends or exempts one ideological belief from criticism.
This phrase is a tongue-in-cheek mockery, often cast upon those who lack self awareness; this flaw is commonly exhibited by those who want to be perceived as having risen above the standard, despite having obvious and often stereotypical biases.
Typically, the Enlightened Centrist takes what they perceive as a neutral position, by claiming "both sides" are flawed. However, the irony of this position is the complete disregard of the possibility that both sides sometimes may be right when it comes to certain issues. Thus, the "Enlightened Centrist" has inadvertently still chosen a partisan position while believing they have somehow conquered the conundrum of opposition.

Person 1: I voted for Joe Biden because I hate Trump. He's much worse.
Person 2: I've seen the results of both. I would rather have had Trump.
Person 1: Both sides are bad! But, I'll pick Biden over Trump any time.
Person 2: Yeah both parties suck, but you can't deny that Trump at least helped our economy.
Person 3: Can both of you Enlightened Centrists shut up? Both of them are morons.
Person 1: Oh, yeah? Then, who did you vote for?
Person 3: Bernie Sanders.
Person 2: ... And you call us "Enlightened Centrists?"
Example 2:
Person 1: I think the Israel and Palestine conflict is dumb. Both sides should stop the fighting.
Person 2: Okay, who stops first?
Person 1. Well, obviously Israel. They're acting out a genocide of Palestinian people.
Person 2: Who started this fight though?
Person 1: Well, obviously Israel. They started it hundreds of years ago when they stole Palestinian land!
Person 2: So, Israel should stop fighting and just let Palestine take their land back?
Person 1: No, no, that's not what I'm saying. I just want the fighting to end.
Person 2: ... By having Israel take the loss. You think you're being an enlightened Centrist, but you're clearly biased.
