That's the definition as it's frequently used but the etymology of the word suggests that my anaylsis is more accurate. The term was watered down by those wishing to do only what they want and not willing to accept the consequences that their lifestyles impose upon others.

When man creates rule systems, even if at the beginning their intended purpose is solely to give guidance, the nature of psychopaths will cause them to expand upon and eventually take over those systems. It's happened in every civilization that we've experienced.

I've lived in and out of civilization and studied both concepts from inside and out. All I can conclude is that the rest of the life on the planet lives according to Nature's rules and humans are the only species that attempts to create rule systems of their own. The hurbris to think that human minds, in 12k years, can create a more sustainable system than the very algorithm of life evolving for millions of years will likely be the downfall of our species.
