“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
I've heard that phrase before and I wonder… just how in hell does Brittannia or England qualify as the 'greatest civilization on Earth'? You Anglophones seem to have a problem processing what deep down inside you know to be true: Brittannia or England is the cancer or destruction of the 'greatest civilization on Earth', this is something altogether different, the virus is not the host. You need to learn to separate myths from reality.
I said it used to be the greatest. One doesn't rule a country of 300 million people with just 100,000 civil servants, as the British Empire did with India, unless one has a strong and powerful civilisation.

Nowadays it's a different story, obviously.
Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I see your point; I just don't equate it with civilization.
