What do you mean by moving forward? I agree that belief and a desire to explain/explore the unknown drives humanity towards technological advancement and new knowledge/theories.
I don’t think that this has moved us in a good direction though. I think it is part of a larger evolutionary shift that is actually going to lead/has led to our downfall.
The planet (or universe for that matter) doesn’t care that our species can make fire or build an interplanetary spaceship. Nothing has meaning or purpose on the cosmic scale and we just fool ourselves and make others rich by believing otherwise.
For this reason, I’d be careful assuming that our species is moving forward when we have lost the ability to control our numbers or coexist with ourselves and other life on the planet without massive systems of control and surveillance.
Sure we have internet/cars/toasters/etc now. But I can’t do anything without someone watching what I do and trying to profit off it.
We have lost so much over the last 10000 years and we’re just too fucking stupid to see it.
