What is Progress?

To All God's Children,


-->Why do we put so much value to learning math and science? This idea that science brings progress is the cause. Does it really? Does progress really come from advanced knowledge and abilities? When we level a forest to build roads and office buildings is that progress? When we invent cars that contribute to global warming is that progress? When we mass produce carcinogenic foods and use science to find a cure for the cancer we’re creating is that progress? No, there’s no such thing as progress. Draw value from other things in life because progress and success are an illusion. If anything, we should determine a child’s talent early on and nurture it instead of forcing them to learn things and feel stupid when they don’t understand them.

Peace be with you
