I know I've mentioned before that simply smiling at people can change your brain pathways.

I remember that discussion, now that you mention it.

I suppose civility is not the ultimate value for me

It's not for me either. The reason I focus so much on it here at SI is that it's the key value for the continued viability of these boards. In the larger world, it's importance is as a foundation for interaction in our increasingly diverse world. There may be lots of things more inherently valuable than civility, but I don't see how we can accomplish any of them without it.
