Historically, every time there's been a push towards progress, there's also been a push back by all the cockroaches that consider tradition the ultimate model for self expression, which is where we are now. Usually after some violent struggle of a variety, the progress wins out eventually. Hopefully this is not an exception, but we might not see it in our lifetime.

The French Revolution last over a hundred years and imo never ended.

no, this is a classic fallacy in historiography.

things don’t just happen. we have to choose to do them, first.

your thesis ignores… every single time in history progress didnt “win out.”

saying “progress wins out eventually” is unfalsifiable because the only true constant in this universe is change. you’re like, not technically wrong but the statement is so detached from the human experience as to be meaningless. this type of analysis isn’t welcome in academia for a reason.

in other words. get out there, there’s work to do!
