“Do I think my rubric captured the essence of what a good civilization is all about?”
not everything about a good civilization could be all described in the 5 qualities.
No,
“What did I find?”: Not all civilizations are “superior” or perfect. For the most part, the majority of
the civilizations in the world aren’t. A lot of civilizations may be good in some areas, but as normal,
to master all the qualities of a “superior” civilization is just hard!
