civilization is an emerald city

"This new world was a vicious, sleek world made of street lights and tight jeans, sharp smiles and fast cars. This was a city, edited. A city, pared
down to its bare minimums, beautiful and abusive." - Maggie Stiefvater

The Trouble with Civilization

Rise and fall of city states tied to stormy weather

We've been messing with nature for 6,000 years


"Civilization is a limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities.

Civilization largely consists in hiding human nature.

When the barbarian learns to hide it we account him enlightened."

Samuel Langhorne Clemens

Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro

Harappa and Mohenjo Daro were expertly planned cities built with a
grid pattern of wide, straight streets. Thick walls surrounded the cities.

The civilization itself was much older than thought — it is at least 8,000 years old.

Phosphorus-32

Phosphorus-32 (32P) is a radioactive isotope of phosphorus.

The high energy of emitted beta particles and the low half-life of phosphorus-32 make it potentially harmful.

What if Mohenjo-daro used Luminescent Solids for lighting?

I wonder what it would take to get a fissible amount?

"A society that no longer recognizes that nature and

human life have a sacred dimension
, an intrinsic value

beyond monetary value
, commits collective suicide.

Such societies cannibalize themselves until they die."

Christopher Lynn Hedges


"Western civilization arose hampered by a serious deficiency in an area which both can and does play a creative role, and which is supposed to protect societies from various kinds of evil.

Civilization was insufficiently resistant to evil, which originates beyond the easily accessible areas of human consciousness and takes advantage of the enormous gap between formal thought and psychological reality." - Andrew M. Lobaczewski

A civilization is defined as a social culture in an advanced state of material development marked by arts and sciences, extensive record-keeping, including writing, and complex political and social institutions.

For a civilization to function and remain viable the citizens must continually agree that the laws are just.

Citizens of any and all forms of goverment must have the ability to solicit for modification of laws so the law continues to remain just under changing circumstances.

A failure on the part of any faction of citizens to respect law, especially leaders, undermines the very foundations upon which the civilization has been built and results in a collapse of the civilization.

The best preserved ancient written code of law was carved in basalt around 1760 BC in Babylon.

The Code of Hammurabi consisted of 282 laws in total.

The purpose of the Code of Hammurabi was to allow justice to prevail in the land, to prevent the strong from oppressing the weak and to further the welfare of the people.

The earlier Code of Ur-Nammu (21st century BC), the Hittite laws (ca. 1300 BC), and Mosaic Law (ca. ~ 1300 BC under Moshe Rabbenu), all contain statutes that bear a remakable resemblance to the Code of Hammurabi and other law codices from the same geographic area in the Levant.

Will the Collapse Begin With Global Corporatist Totalitarianism?

The collapse of any civilization is directly related to multiple

The Empathic Civilization

"So often we see ourselves as a lonely cultural pinnacle, superior beyond all comparison.

But if recent excavations at Stonehenge offer anything, they put our era in perspective, reminding us of an unbroken lineage shared across continents and cultures.

We are simply an extension of an ancient age, living now in the next lost civilization." - Craig Childs



citizen

Did drop in testosterone make humans more civilized?

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead

"The _civilized man_, is he whom experience and sociality have enabled to draw from nature the means of his own happiness, because he has learned to oppose résistance to those impulses he receives from exterior beings, when experience has taught him they would be destructive to his welfare. " - Paul-Henri Thiry, Baron d'Holbach


a citizen is defined as:

a civilian

a civilized man

a native, inhabitant, or denizen of a particular place

a resident of a city or village entitled to enjoy privileges

an individual owing loyalty to and entitled by birth or naturalization to the protection of a state

citizens are required to obey onerous laws - even ill conceived, unjust and brutal laws



What Happened On Easter Island - A New (Even Scarier) Scenario

DARK MOUNTAIN MANIFESTO

We live in a time of social, economic and ecological unravelling.

All around us are signs that our whole way of living is already passing into history.

We will face this reality honestly and learn how to live with it.

We reject the faith which holds that the converging crises of our times can be reduced to a set of 'problems' in need of technological or political 'solutions'.

We believe that the roots of these crises lie in the stories we have been telling ourselves.

We intend to challenge the stories which underpin our civilization: the myth of progress, the myth of human centrality, and the myth of our separation from 'nature'.

These myths are more dangerous for the fact that we have forgotten they are myths.

We will reassert the role of storytelling as more than mere entertainment. It is through stories that we weave reality.

Humans are not the point and purpose of existence.

Our art will begin with the attempt to step outside the human perspective.

By careful attention, we will reengage with Gaia.

We will celebrate writing and art grounded in a sense of place and of time.

Our literature has been dominated for too long by those who inhabit the cosmopolitan citadels.

We will not lose ourselves in the elaboration of theories or ideologies.

Our words will be elemental.

We write with dirt under our fingernails.

The end of the world as we know it is not the end of the world full stop.

Together, we will find the hope beyond hope, the paths which lead to the unknown world ahead of us.

This web site is not a commercial web site and is presented for educational purposes only.





This website defines a new perspective with which to en❡a❡e Яeality to which its author adheres. The author feels that the faλsification of reaλity outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern pr☠paganda from Яeality and that this has been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religi☯us practices, religi☸us beliefs or persons due to their religi⚛us ide⚛l⚛gy. This web site marks the founding of a system of philºsºphy nªmed the Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie - a ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery re☦igion based on reaso🐍 which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a pers∞nal relati∞n with Æ∞n through the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in the cu☮ing the spi☮itual co☮☮uption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of the Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Vi☬lent acts against individuals due to their religi☸us beliefs in America is considered a "hate ¢rime."

This web site in no way c☬nd☬nes vi☬lence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the vi☬lence that is already occurring due to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartels desire to control the human race. The internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the w☸rld ec☸n☸mic system, c✡rp✡rate media worldwide, the global indus✈rial mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex and is responsible for the coλλapse of moraλs, the eg● w●rship and the destruction of gl☭bal ec☭systems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation with bi☣hazards at the point of a gun.

American social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the p☠pulace in general through c✡rp✡rate media by press☟ng em☠ti☠nal butt☠ns which have been πreπrogrammed into the πoπulation through prior c☢rp☢rate media psych☢l☢gical ☢perati☢ns. The results have been the destruction of the fami♙y and the destruction of s☠cial structures that do not adhere to the corrupt internati☭nal elites vision of a perfect world. Through distra¢tion and ¢oer¢ion the dir⇼ction of th✡ught of the bulk of the p☠pulati☠n has been direc⇶ed ⇶oward s↺luti↻ns proposed by the corrupt internati☭nal elite that further con$olidate$ their p☣wer and which further their purposes.
