So, can we blame "inferior" and "mixed" people for creating civilisation? Is the existence of it in the first place a sign of a broken and hopeless people? Would we have remained untainted as rural hunter gatherers had we not been "forced" to adopt it?...

Civilisation invariably results in steady decline, dilution of culture, increasing detachment from nature & RESULTS in mixing - its growth is driven by and reliant on slavery trade & imperialism. Why did it originate where it did? Can we blame mixed people for forcing it upon us?

This area is called the "fertile crescent" for a reason - with its warm climate and abundance of resources, it could sustain this initial growth. Adoption of civilisation isn't always forced or introduced, it is often gradual. We saw the same in Europe, only at a less rapid rate

Yes Anatolian migrants introduced our hunter-gatherer ancestors to farming methods, but especially in parts of Europe that were not conquered by these civilised empires, would they have never grown had Mesopotamian civilisation never existed? I doubt that...

Perhaps we should be less willing to blame others, less concerned with where civilisation comes from, and more concerned with what it results in, what drives further growth. It allowed for magnificent art and sculpture, but it is also a case of man flying too close to the sun...

The simple life should still be the end goal, now more than ever. We have truly lost our way, forgotten to appreciate the beauty of simplicity, minimalism and closeness to nature. Civilisation was magnificent for some time, in some respects, but it is always a trap, and a decline
