The shit these idiots are addressing by “civilization” is actually culture. Which they don’t have or understand. Don’t make the mistake of adopting their meaning of “ciivilization” which is a fuzzy description of their idea of an ideal society and has nothing to do with civilization itself.
These are hallmarks of democracy, not civilization.
The summary about Schopenhauer also doesn’t sound very informed to me. More like written by somebody with strong opinions about everything, no knowledge of anything and too lazy to do any research. And right so. Understanding what you’re talking about just keeps you from posting “interesting” things like the nonsense claim of Schopenhauer being “not a good philosopher”. Actually, Schopenhauer undisputedly was the best philosopher ever, his world records on 500 meters hermeneutics and full-contact ethics where he single-handedly kicked all three Anglican arch bishops out of the ring are still unbroken.
You might wont to get a real dictionary.
