About Beyond Civilization One of our most fundamental cultural beliefs is this, that civilization must continue at any cost and not be abandoned under any circumstance. Implicit in this belief is another, that civilization is humanity's ultimate invention and can never be surpassed. Both these beliefs exemplify the cultural fallacy , which is the notion that one's beliefs are not merely expressions of one's culture but are intrinsic to the human mind itself. The effect of this fallacy is that it's almost impossible for the people of our culture to entertain the idea that there could be any invention beyond civilization.
Civilization is the end , the very last and unsurpassable human social development.
The journey to this new territory doesn't represent a way to overturn civilization's hierarchy but rather a way to leave it behind. The escape route is hidden, of course, or it would have been found before now.
