		<description>It depends on what set of criteria you would base the decandency of a civilisation, but my take on it is that our over-emphasis on performance and productivity could ruin us if it is not controled to a certain extent by the individuals themselves. Although productivity is a critical success factor as far as &#039;&#039;numbers&#039;&#039; go, one cannot forget that quality in general is also a pivotal criterion.
