The Myth of Progress
In this series of posts I plan to examine the etiology of the myth of progress in some detail.
How did it become the dominant religion of the early 21st century?
What is its relationship to late-stage capitalism? Is it a feature of industrial civilization, or a bug?
How can it be discredited and destroyed? And why should we try?
What are the alternatives, and what will replace it?
It’s a big and important topic.
I hope I can do it justice.
