What, exactly, is civilisation attempting to achieve? Better standards of living? A more sustainable life? Personal gain at the expense of all others? Or a scenario where we can all feel we're clawing our way up on each other like rats in a pit, a heaving mass of humanity all seeking protection from a misunderstood "them", xenophobic and vicious in the extreme? Is "the common good" really a concept with any validity, or is the mob just happy to take an ever-increasing beating so long as it thinks that those that dare stick out from it and challenge the status-quo will be beaten harder than they?
