"Civilized" society as opposed to which "uncivilized" societies? I suspect our worldviews on this are similar (the quotes you put around the word "civilized" is an indicator), but I want to ask anyway since we see this word being used on FT at an alarming rate (2 times just today).

Thank you for indulging me.
