I agree with most of what you're saying. I think I actually may have misinterpreted this line: "We tend to associate the early civilizations with great monuments, but they key difference between early societies and advanced ones is the willingness to commit to process."
I initially misread that as "earlier societies were more process-abiding than advanced ones", but on reflection you were likely stating the opposite. I shouldn't comment before I've had a cup of coffee in the morning ;-)
- lkrubner 8y agoSorry, that might have been badly written. When I write on my blog I normally hire an editor to catch those kinds of sentences, which can be misunderstood. Maybe the safety net of having an editor has made me lazy. When I write a comment on a place like Hacker News, I should really re-read it to make sure it is clear.
