This was much more readable! I still don't fully understand what "worlding" means, partly because I felt like the post unraveled by the end. I'd watch out for typos and spelling problems - they started around here:

> All empires dream they are he only one, so it is very awkward when they meeting another

"All empires dream they are the only one, so it is very awkward when they meet one another"

You also compared "empire" "civilization" and "wording," not "worlding" at the end.

'the world" does not exist as a hard thing, but it's 'where' we live as peeps, (at the very least as an extended phenotype -- an intersubjective intersocial cocoon). So living in the world gives everyone an agency. Imperialists see these (in aggregate) as a challenge (hard military objectives), or, if in power, see these cultural formations/rites (conventions) as an opportunity to better control the pathways of (soft) power.

thanks I've given it a go. Soon I will be re-vamping some subset of the last year of posts on another platform, once i decide which one. This one was particularly bad mind (i hope).
