Progress Studies

Progress is challenging, not due to a lack of imagination but due to the lack of a blank canvas  Maybe Mars is the blank canvas we need to bring us all together

Malthus was wrong. We make MORE food than ever with LESS land than ever. Because we have one inexhaustible resource— Human ingenuity.

do you ever find it weird that as a culture we decided that “progress” just means advancement in technology and numbers on a spreadsheet, and that things like moral advancement, human joy, positive relationships, fulfillment, psychological development, and purpose don’t count?

anyone who prioritizes the wellbeing of the “future of humanity” in the abstract over the dignity and care of individuals in the present cannot claim that they truly care about people

once we had machines to do labor, we could afford to stop treating humans like machines.
