What we're about
With displays of individual prejudice gaining in popularity, fact-checking being dismissed as irrelevant, and leaders and citizens worldwide debating basic priorities with heightened intensity, the reality of widespread whim and informal reasoning becomes ever more apparent. But with both formal logic's classifications of Consistency, Fact, and Necessity and Sufficiency; and the products of The Scientific Method; mere Persuasion finds itself in the dust. Now add to the mix Healthy Self-Image.
At The Civilization Society we are working to change the subject. We are working to convert humanity, from dependence on, and obedience to, arbitrary opinion, to competency in the sustainable foundations of Sane and Healthy Civilization. And all humanity must change. So we are celebrating this conversion religiously. We are replacing "ignorance is bliss" with the peace of mind that can be proven. On paper. By all ages. In all walks of life. Again and again. From now on.
Locking down society’s formal reasoning and healthy self-image skills will be a turning point for our species. The methods are available, and a proven distribution mechanism has been in place for thousands of years. Making it happen — is — as easy as changing the subject. You choose. The Civilization Society.
THIS VIRTUAL LAB WELCOMES ANYONE FROM ANYWHERE.

This is an informal workshop of The Civilization Society — more than a social meeting, but not quite a formal workshop. Pour your coffee and put on your thinking cap. We’re taking on the problems of the world.
