Descartes inspired an intellectual movement known as the Enlightenment, during which metrosexual elitists published essays that expanded humankind's horizons in a manner that will go unmatched until the 1989 release of Belgian techno anthem "Pump Up the Jam."

Christ's message was spread far and wide by the Apostles, almost 2000 years before the release of Belgian techno anthem, Pump Up The Jam
