when I thought about progression one year ago, I thought about technology and stuff like that, which develops quite rapidly.
But since then I changed my perspective. Now when I think about progression, I have to remind myself that 30 years are a fart in human history. It would be interesting, whether 1000 years from now humans still exist and how their look on the time around the year 2000 will be like. It probably will be seen as the dawn of media, therefore first global interlacing. I expect our age to go down in history as a big chaotic mess. But I think we live in a time where there's maybe the greatest individuality in human progress. I mean, of course 1000 years ago there was more diversity around the world, but within the different societies there probably wasn't that much diversity. Now we all have our heritage, our traditions, but we get to know all the other traditions from around the world better than ever, and change our personalities by learning from other cultures - those cultures we as individuals choose to be interested in. So I think we live in a time, where we can learn about pretty much everything from around the world for the first time, but not yet live in a time, where one ideology dominates around the world. I'm sure by the year 3000 - if humans haven't killed their own race, or a virus has done so - it will all be a rather homogeneous collective. Maybe the people behind The Matrix weren't so wrong.
