>> Civilisation is the surrender of varying degrees of civil liberty for security and safety.

That's a pretty reductivist way to define civilisation...

From this definition; It sounds to me like there is a certain character/type of people who are redeemed as Civilized based on Govt definition. Thus justifies heavy control over society.

"As a liberal", wouldn't it be more favourable to design the system around liberty of choice for the individual rather than control of a central power?
