On Destruction
Here’s a thought for those of you who describe yourselves as “progressives” - it might give you a clue as to why so many people don’t trust you:
Destruction of man-made things is called vandalism. Destruction of the natural world is called progress.
For those of us with clear vision, that’s the essence of “progress”, right there.
In the twilight years of industrial civilization, progress based on technology is a dangerous myth. Much of our modern technology is making the world a worse place, not a better one.
If “progressives” would only ditch their love affair with technology - now that would be progress.
