Given that Empy was born in 8000 BCE his ideal is almost certainly going to be a steady-state, static civilization in which all parts remain perfectly balanced forever. He wouldn't have encountered the concept of 'progress' until he was about ten thousand and no doubt set in his ways. Unfortunately we have pretty much seen how workable his ideal is in the Real Universe. Entropy always wins. Change is inevitable and ANY civilization is going to involve a certain amount of mess and unpleasantness.
