I'll concede that the Enlightenment did more to relieve human suffering (or whatever measure you prefer) than the advance of science. <Again, I don't think this a a majority position in this community.>
Will you concede that the Enlightenment's continued viability is reliant on the increase in wealth it caused, including the increase in wealth from scientific progress?

No, it is an argument against the ideology that endless minipulation/dominance of the material world is purely beneficial.

You don't need to believe post-modern thought to be an environmentalist. Nor does being post-modern guarantee that you are an environmentalist. (or any other critique of human application of "scientific" domination of nature).
In short, you are overstating the usefulness of post-modern analysis. Economists (whether or not they think Kuhn was saying something useful) already have language for the types of problems you identify with the social application of scientific prediction.
