It isn't - contrary to popular opinion - about having nice buildings and less uneducated people

Civilization means one simple thing : taking away the original biological reason for an action and replacing it with a cultural one

Sex goes from procreation to fun
Eating goes from surviving to indulgence
Forming a society goes from a need for protection to social prestige

These things mean civilization.
The more "original" a culture is, the more it still operates on biological imperatives, the less civilized it is.
Opinions?

FUCK nature

A dildo is literally the most "civilized" thing in existence
It is the original sexual organ, once used for procreation, turned into an object of entertainment and a product
fully de-biologized

Civilization means your society (at least in part) lives in cities. No more and no less

What? People start waking up with boners and feeling horny only when they have a roof over their head?

No, but the consequence for engaging in that hedonism becomes greatly reduced with the advent of a social safety net for unwanted kids and contraception.

In the past women had to be careful with who they fucked or else the child might not survive if they did not have a responsible father.

The "Chad" archetype dominates today because of this, whereas in the past, while women might be inclined towards a physically attractive male, they often valued more the man who would take the time to father the child and would have the wisdom and intelligence to guide them towards a higher excellence.

In addition.

Intelligence, wisdom, and courage are valued more in a stressful environment than a stable one.

The raw physical advantage flourishes more in the comfortable sheltered environment because it is more superficially symbolic and does not have to worry about being outsmarted and dying as a result.

I disagree. What you've described seems to me more like the *decline* of a culture, where it looses sight of the purposes of daily actions.

Declining birthrate, rising acceptance of obesity, celebrity obsession, these are not signs of civilization but of decay.

I guess you're confusing culture and civilization.
You described culture, and culture is both creator and fruit of civilizations.

This. Some island tribe may be prosperous enough to do these things, but they do not form a civilization.

Wasn't there some quote which said that the more evolved a civilization is, the more killing occurs in more sophisticated ways?

Killing a large number of people and civilization is one and the same thing

That's why Nazi Germany was the most evolved civilization on earth
>>
>>1484951
I actually agree, but I'd say it's all based on a collective inferiority complex. Majority of people don't realise humans are animals and basically replacing the biological reasons for cultural reasons is compensation for the above mentioned complex.
