I guess it really depends on what you mean by civilized.

If you mean they become more intellectually capable then no, but then if they started to use their intellect as a tool to rape the earth then yes.

If we all lived a sustainable lifestyle I would feel that we were not making a damaging impact on nature.

Of course we wouldn't survive, because we weren't brought up to survive in those situations. However, there are plenty of people who do survive like that with no problem, those people are not more "animalistic", for lack of a better term, than what we conceive as normal human beings.

Let me ask you this. If someday... I don't know... fucking deer became more "civilized" than humans, do you think they would be a virus?

I really don't see what is unnatural about how we've progressed, and I don't think I ever will. It kind of bothers me when other people suggest what we do is unnatural and the rest of the animal kingdom is natural.

Do a little search on "Feral Children" and tell me again that these kids aren't more "animalistic" than a normal person.
