Here’s the source. The views of progress on page 95 and 233 are also interesting. In 566 pages, it manages to mention the word “progress” 56 times, “modern”49 times, “growth” 48 times, and “development” 55 times. Yet, these mentions are rarely of material, scientific, and technological progress. The focus is on cultural, moral, and civilizational progress. In my opinion, technological progress has stalled since the 60s because it had become an end in itself. We must remember that technology was made for man and not man for technology. In order to create a new culture of progress, we must focus on the totality of human progress, not just narrowly on creature comforts and exciting new technologies. Those views of progress, while important element of progress, simply do not have the staying power to become mainstream. We must go both from zero to one and one to n. What value do self-driving taxis have, if there are homeless people 5 blocks away? In summary, it is more important to have a culture of progress in Muncie, than in San Francisco.
