ok so i’ve heard at least 2 different definitions of progress.

  • one strictly defines progress as technological progress. the reasoning is that “progress” comes from latin “pro-gress” (marching forward) which refers to any labor process feeling very similar to a long march. exhausting.
  • another nice angle i’ve heard was that “progress” is a play-on-words with progesterone which is a substance produced by biological women to advance various internal processes, as such it is understood as “what women do” or as women’s movement. it’s silly but i’ve heard it and now so have you.

especially, do you think that “progress” properly describes your goals? do you say that progress is what we need as a society? if no, how else would you describe your goals?

    Would you like some radium water? It was considered highly progressive in the early 1900s since it utilised this fancy new thing called radiation. Borderline magical stuff when you think about it.
