I didn't check the scheme, but I think a granary can wait until after the Pyramids. A second worker is not really needed as long as the first can keep up with our town growth.
If we want to go for diplo, then we do not need 70 techs. We will need Mass Media, which requires:
Radio, Electricity, Physics, SciMeth, Astro, Press, Machinery, Paper, Calendar, Optics, Compass, IW, MC, Math, CS, CoL, and some ancient techs. Apart from this, we will probably want some others, like Alphabet, Drama and Currency. This means we need about 20 post-ancient techs.
If we build the Globe, then we can trade our happy resources away for health resources, preferably the ones with multiplier buildings - or for iron, if we don't have it.
I agree with Renata that for diplo victory we should not delay contacts too long. Besides, the WFYABTA argument doesn't really hold as we already know some of the best traders - Washington, Lizzy, Asoka. Not only do they have high limits, but also they are relatively easy to befriend. Early trading, before we know the other civs, will just mean that we use up our "longer credit lines" first.
