It's bad and has always existed.

Civilization is social engineering. The former can not exist without the latter.

The truth is true. I don't like it! But it's true.

If you don't like social engineering, you can reverse its effects on you by living as a hunter gatherer in inbred family groups the size of chimpanzee clan.

Since the Paleolithic, every major human progress in human organization required purposed efforts to reorder human society by design - social engineering.

It's rather broad term,could you give an outline of your position?

One line questions without an accompanying idea ,seem a little lazy to me.

Modern Social Engeneering is just and simply, fashion, media, fad's, movie's and the usage of mixed messages that slightly change your perspective, little by little you are engineered by all these thing's to be the perfect slave. Your emotions are what enslave you, as a human being you are nothing more than an advanced learning system, add emotions and your totally programmable learning system. Toss out your emotion's to truely be free and see the world for the dark gloomy place it really is.

Civilization is social engineering. The former can not exist without the latter.

To an extent yeah, we promote or condemn desires to change the desires of others, we praise or condemn desires that tend do good and condemn those that tend to do bad, we also punish and reward the results of action to deter people from acting on certain desires but it's organic unlike the central planning engineering of social attitudes which most people are concerned about, me included.

That being said, the statement "Civilization is social engineering" is inaccurate, it is significant but not ultimate, our nature plays a large part of what makes the Civilization and there are a number of other smaller factors too.
