Some reasons civilization is amazing:
1. Simply the number of people it can feed
2. The vast array of specialized weird interests it allows you to pursue instead of just fucking hunting and gathering in your imaginary idyllic society
3. The sheer amount of choice in food and other consumer goods I have. I don’t have to eat seasonally, and I like that.
4. Heating and air conditioning
5. Not having to shit outside
6. Plumbing in general
7. Not dying in childbirth is actually SUPER rad
8. Not having to work with my hands, being able to live in heels, having choice about my physical appearance that technology allows
9. Dirty fanfic shared from the other side of the planet
10. Being able to meet and form a relationship with someone from the other side of the planet
11. This squeezy rubber dragon toy I am currently playing with
12. Living in a place where my stilettos don’t sink into the ground
13. Fuck bugs
14. No seriously just fuuuuuuck bugs.
15. Being able to eat bon bons and read about hermetic magic and flower penis sex
16. Lab grown jewelry
17. Also the possibility of lab grown limbs
18. Memory foam mattresses
19. TBH I can’t come without a vibrator and I think that that is a perfectly valid reason for supporting full electrification (I need wallsocket, batteries won’t get me there)
20. The fact that I can find the four other people into glam rock, communism and hermetic magic on earth and talk to them
21. Did I mention not dying in childbirth
22. Perfumery as an art form
and that’s just off the top of my head

You like Hermetic magic?  ‘Cause my mentor is a Hermes scholar.  Somewhere in my paper files is the only (mostly) complete translation of the Book of 24 Philosophers (if you are familiar with it?), which he made me do one term.  

That guy followed me around to hang on every bedroom door for the past 11 years, until I finally laminated him last year.  When we got married, my wife adopted him too.

Hermes Trismegistus is the MAN.

I’m not familiar but I’ll have to get onto it.
