I would offer that you’re simply bad at it.
A mentor of mine, the great historian William Durant whose 11 volume contribution “The Story of Civilization” tells us of the wonders of learning the steps humanity has taken from barbarism to civilized, not without plenty of depressing digression in between.
The problems with our age are numerous, The greatest is the delegation of our authorities away from ourselves. Before gamification of governance, concerned citizenary were themselves it’s governance.
Now we avoid jury duty when competent peers are an advancement of our justice.
We have too many things we would rather do than truly familiarize ourselves with issues and take their direct evolvement.
We are a culture of hypocrites on the bleeding edge of our own obsolescence.
The promotion of women is a fine idea. Not that women cannot be as foolish, misinformed, or corruptible than men, though I complement a sense of enduring commitments and humanity as a foundation over ambition to merely do more or seek devices for ever increasing returns.
One caveat is the uncommon knowledge of power’s tendencies to destroy even the bravest and most noble. We are a culture who devour our idols. I wish the popularity of power upon none I would care for.
I define evil as a) the maiming and mutilating of our humanity; b) the making corrupt or perverse the potential of being.
The difficulty is not in civilization but in culture.
Man is corruptible and has a treacherous heart. We need culture to save us.
