What is civilisation? And what can we, as individuals, do to continue it?
>>
>>18754053
Sedentary societies with hierarchy based on division of labor and ownership of resources. Everything else is indistinguishable from living like an animal.
>b-but that includes a bunch of degenerate and psychotic sedentary societies who did a heckin violence!
Still a civilization.

unimpressive compared to many Indian temples

>>18754053
A very charged word used for propaganda purposes, denote urban societies, or denote human organization. There are a lot of uses for it.
> And what can we, as individuals, do to continue it?
Forgive the Chudism but: Be good goys, and that's about it. It's a group endeavor after all.
>>18754063
That's a decent definition.
>Everything else is indistinguishable from living like an animal.
That's not true. All forms of organized human living are distinguishable from the way animals live. Saying they can't is also saying that civilization is un distinguishable from animals, too .

No dick measuring.

literally an accident
And what can we, as individuals, do to continue it?

grow?

Hyperreality inside the hyperreality. You can do nothing to continue or save it it's a fantasy and a brain virus that you can, it's just as delusional as those movies where one guy kills himself to save humanity, this never works irl. You can do nothing for civilization, civilization has free will, you don't. Mesoamericans who selectively bred chihuahuas = free will, you don't have that. It's just as ridiculous as saving the planet from climate warming, you can do nothing

>What is civilisation?
A reflection of human society
>what can we, as individuals, do
Pursue decency, excellence, and success. Live in a way that demonstrates virtue and encourages decency in others.
Respect your ancestors and develop a personal way of connecting to our shared spiritual past.
>to continue it?
It continues with or without our individual participation, so don't even worry about that.
