you could only beat me hands down from your own perspective. the idea of progress implies something to progress towards; i deny that there is any such thing. life will always be life, it will always be driven by suffering and fear. from my perspective. science is just the most profound expression of this fear, of a blind grappling for truth from an indifferent universe. you can draw the map of the universe with as many details as possible until it becomes so big it swallows us all, and it won't bring you a step closer to finding peace. our 'prosperity' is only possible at the cost of millions starving and working in dehumanized conditions, not to mention the destruction of the planet. not only that but it carries with it consumerist spiritual death.
