	PAPER 81 - DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN CIVILIZATION
		The greatest twentieth-century influences contributing to the furtherance of civilization and the advancement of culture are the marked increase in world travel and the unparalleled improvements in methods of communication.
		And modern civilization is at a standstill in spiritual development and the safeguarding of the home institution.
		The cultural civilizations of the past and the present have been based upon the intelligent co-operation of the citizenry with wise and progressive leaders; and until man evolves to higher levels, civilization will continue to be dependent on wise and vigorous leadership.

	Development of Modern Civilization; The Urantia Book, Paper 81
		Infusion of the Adamic stock into the human races not only quickened the pace of civilization, but it also greatly stimulated their proclivities toward adventure and exploration to the end that most of Eurasia and northern Africa was presently occupied by the rapidly multiplying mixed descendants of the Andites.
		And this civilization must be maintained and fostered, for there exist today no new sources of culture, no Andites to invigorate and stimulate the slow progress of the evolution of civilization.
		The cultural civilizations of the past and the present have been based upon the intelligent co-operation of the citizenry with wise and progressive leaders; and until man evolves to higher levels, civilization will continue to be dependent on wise and vigorous leadership.

		Modern industrial civilization surpasses the classic civilizations in universality, and the contrasts between them in thinking and behavior patterns are great.
		Thus when it comes to the clash of civilizations, the most violent conflicts are those between a classic civilization and a modern industrial civilization, as was the case with the Opium Wars.
		Modern industrial civilization is built upon faith in man's rational capacity, and aims at improving his ability to control the environment.

	How to Save the World
		Modern Civilization, if you're Poor: Limited choice -- you probably live and die in the town where you were born, or the town to which the bread-winner in your family is transferred.
		Modern Civilization, if you're Rich: Limitless choice -- you can choose from a vast range of educational options that probably open up a vast range of career opportunities, though you may have to rely on your rich connections anyway.
		Modern Civilization, if you're Rich: Limitless choice -- you eat what you want, but despite that choice your diet is probably not great, due to too much fat, too many preservatives, additives and chemicals, and too many calories.

		Modern civilization drew for itself an industrial and technological shape that is devoid of piety, proper concept of mutual compassion and human justice in the least.

	A Comparison Between the Quran and Modern Civilization From Different Viewpoints
		A sincere student of modern civilization and philosophy is a Pharaoh-like tyrant, but one who abuses himself so far as to bow in worship before the meanest thing to serve his interest.
		It is because of those principles of modern civilization that despite all its advantages and positive aspects, only twenty percent of mankind are superficially contented while the other eighty percent are in hardship and misery.
		As modern civilization stands defeated before the Quran’s rules and principles concerning social life and mankind, and is bankrupt before the Quran’s miraculous content, the European philosophy and scientism, which is the spirit of that civilization, is helpless in the face of the miraculousness of the Quran’s wisdom.

		Modern civilization and its economic systems are less than 300 years old and have thus far thrived only in periods of expansion and growth.
		This modern civilization could fulfill human wants and needs, and it would be intrinsically sustainable in a healthy biosphere.
		However, it is not an ideal civilization in the classic sense because its structure requires us all to embrace imperfections, uncertainty and diversity rather than to seek perfection, certainty and a global symbiotic oneness.

	The Sabbath and Modern Industrial Civilization:
		The central thesis of North's critique is that there are certain industries that are crucial to dominion and the well being of civilization that cannot be completely shut down on the sabbath.
		The central thesis of North's argument is that modern sabbatarians are hypocrites, because the fourth commandment, if followed today, would require that Christians refuse to use electricity and heating in their homes and churches on the Sabbath.
		In modern industrialized culture, man uses a centralized power production source to maintain heat and light in the home; this is necessary (at current technology levels) because of the huge increase of population since ancient times, and the massive population centers that have arisen with industrialization (cities of a million or more people are common).

		Moreover, modern civilization has forgotten about a category called "the enemy." This concept of the enemy -- someone who is willing to die to kill another -- had been discarded from our moral and political discourse.
		Modern intellectuals are particularly susceptible to this type of thinking, which eventually leads them into the irrational abyss of moral and cultural relativism, epistemological subjectivism, metaphysical idealism, politicism, and scientism.
		He argues that Western Civilization led by the United States is in a fight for its life- and must understand this and pursue its enemies with a determination and strength which nonetheless does not degenerate into the kind of immoral murderousness those enemies consistently display.

		Given contemporary reports of the sun being blotted out or weakened for nearly a year and a half, followed by famine, drought, and plague, it's hard not to think that so many reports from all over the world must be related.
		It was of such mammoth proportions, it blotted out much of the heat and light of the sun for eighteen months and resulted -- directly or indirectly -- in climatic chaos, famine, migration, war, and massive political change on every continent.
		Although I liked that the evidence of climate change was presented for essentially the entire planet, the conclusions at the end of each civilization were repetitive, simply restating the same thing (although, I suppose that was the point).
