First: Diagnose Why “Civilization Design (CD)” Is Breaking

Your instincts are correct. “Civilization Design” fails in three ways:

• “Design” is culturally corrupted
  • Implies aesthetics, UX, CAD, architecture-as-style
  • Suggests low consequence, subjective output
  • Attracts people optimized for slides, not systems

• It undersignals rigor
  • Does not clearly imply engineering discipline
  • Does not imply accountability to reality
  • Sounds adjacent to speculative futurism

• It undersignals economic seriousness
  • Not obvious that outputs feed enterprise
  • Sounds “pre-business” rather than “proto-industry”
