Ghengis Khan nearly destroyed the world under the banner of a singular idea: the civilized life was a life of weakness and sloth. The greatest empires of his day crumbled before the force of this savage ideology. Now, a thousand plus years on, we sit on the Internet. We drive cars. We no longer kill our own meat, we no longer grow our own crop. Are we truly better, or is civilization weakening the human race? Discuss respectfully.

Civilization made plastic surgery and smart men with large bank accounts. Eh, I guess it's a wash.

It's better than being killed because the neighboring tribe needs slaves for their chiefs harem or some other bullshit.

I keep trying to beat it before a few hundred turns, the only outcome where I end the game between 1000-1500 is using the religion policy where religious buildings also promote tourism. Someday I'll figure it out.

What is "good"? Is good being able to blow all tribal idiots back to the stone age with bombs? Then yes. Does good mean personally convenient for me? Double yes. Is good the difference between hunting and foraging all day and sitting on my rear end shitposting and eating cheetos with chosticks? Then triple yes. Aquinas once spoke of the mythical city on the hill. Now that city is reality and WE are become its kings. Or better than kings. Gods! Dooooo doo doo doo doo! Doo doo DOO dooooooooo!
