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?

    Change that gives benefits. Be it for the individual or society.

    Less discrimination means less suicides, more ideas in the ideas pool due to them not having to fear, and less growth of extremism

    Edit: on an individual level: even if you failed a task, you now know how to re do it correctly. And do it better next time
