>And I think there must be a dynamic tension between knowledge and strength. So civilization is, as I have said, probably non- adaptive? Thanks.......< this is an interesting LEAP of logic that makes no sense. A civilization can develop knowledge or strength or (in most cases) BOTH. We were talking about competing civilizations (imo)- not absence of civilization- all I mean by civilization is a large group of people glomming onto each other and working together. The accomplishment of the civilization is irrelevant to it being a civilization. Civilization usually (to judge from history) seems to have been adaptive. Are ALL societies adaptive? Probably to SOME set or pressures- but not to all, just like organisms. I don't think you understand what we are talking about at all. You wouldn't be so illogical if you did.
