What is 'progress'?
Here are a few thoughts...
realityreveals.com/society/b…
-- 'B'
Progress/purpose:
UNDERSTAND 'reality', through challenges (Largely, a thermodynamic problem). Learn about the 'rules' governing the time, information, and energy of your 'existence' (your resources).
FORM 'strengths' out of this.
USE,
SHARE,
PROTECT, and
IMPROVE your strengths.
Weird question (bout 'you', 'me'):
If all that mattered about 'me' was the understanding of REALITY I shared with 'you', and NOTHING else mattered (not my face, lies, or mistakes); and 'you' accepted just the 'reality' I shared, and everyone did that for eons, what would 'we' be?

Take your time.
There's more than one answer... with the passage of time, ALL (the 'answers') become more 'true', 'strong', 'healthy', and 'good'.

Examples of 'simple' (not 'easy') things you can do to save the planet (life on Earth):
- ELIMINATE your use of petroleum-based products (pesticides, plastics).
- Don't buy a gas-powered vehicle EVER.
- Eat more vegetables.
- Insist on QUALITY.
- Don't take any SHIT from anybody.
'You' are an answer to a complex set of questions.
The questions keep being asked, and answered. 'You' 'exist' as the answer within each emergent 'now' (an indeterminate, fleeting state 'exactly' between the immediate determined past, and immediate potential future).
If you want to know 'who' I am, or who I am trying to 'be', look into the mirror (or, anyone's face). 'We' are, and continue trying to be, the same thing: human being. It is a responsibility, not an entitlement.
'You' are NOT the isolated 'individual' you presume to be.
Something you probably don't know:
You really 'exist'.
This is a 'profound' thing to know (but, you take life for granted). You would have to understand 'existence'. To know that, you must understand 'reality'.
But you don't understand reality, or existence, do you!
If you did..?

What does it mean to be human (or 'living')?
Why are we NOT entitled to 'anything', and why do we think we are?
Not so sure MOST people really understand what 'reality' is (not your 'conscious' understanding of a 'world'), what a true 'democracy' is (why 'progress ' is REQUIRED), what 'freedom' is (when it ENABLES), how 'happiness' results, or what true 'love' really is, when it's there?
A real danger I've noticed (prevalent on Twitter), something I really find 'disturbing' is the rampant tendency for people to turn to, what amounts to, cult-like dependencies on weakness (cowardice)... sorry to say: these are the 'gurus' of 'easy', emotional 'comfort/happiness'.

REAL 'strengths':
Honesty, compassion, empathy, charity, humility, love, etc.
Everybody 'knows' what human strengths are (when true), and what are human weaknesses (hate, lies, greed, selfishness, etc).
You can help save the planet by growing/using your 'strengths'. IT'S PHYSICS!
These require you to be 'intelligent', and 'strong'... and it might help to network (help each other out; fuck everyone else). Sustain a 'radical' new movement of real change... REAL PROGRESS for generations.
Enough people doing this (because we must) will force 'lasting' change.

'Easy' is often 'entropy' quietly destroying you.
'Simple' is not necessarily 'easy', especially when you recognize it's greater (more complicated; profound) significance.

Reality is NOT easy.
'Life' is NOT easy.
Some 'pain' and hardship is REQUIRED in order to sustain our existence.
You are more healthy, experiencing (appropriately) a full range of emotion... at least, don't reject/deny it when you 'must' feel it.
To believe otherwise, is INSANE.

Old-growth forests around the world keep you alive. Period.
The same can be said of ALL ancient ecosystems. There's a balance that we all (living things) depend on. Period. The Earths climate depends on them.
Destroy them and we all die. Period.
There's a point of NO RETURN.
.
The ONLY WAY to stop the inevitable decline of life on Earth, is to quickly understand and acknowledge the 'truth' WORLDWIDE:
- There's a 'reality' you're barely capable of understanding (you CAN/MUST know enough, to overcome).
- 'Strength' overcomes our 'default' destruction.
