Aside from frantically tabbing, typing "proceed," and hitting enter, his brain has turned to soup and his wrists are finished. He is too tired to have any opinions about civilization. Meanwhile, civilization is growing out of him like dirt, but he doesn't even notice because the PRs are full of reward-hacked slop again.
