It's a shame this project never advanced and now Boeing is scrambling to come up with innovative solutions...

Smaller governments are more responsive, less trade regulations are more responsive. If rice grows better in one country rather than another, let’s grow it there. If bananas grow best somewhere else, grow it there, use less land, be more productive. Free markets allow smarter decisions to be made faster

" I love Jeffrey Epstein" - Stevie P

Wow this video is nothing related to its topic and doesn’t really answer it😂

Progressives hate progress? I guess it’s fair to say that we hate progress for those at the top that doesn’t also benefit everyone else. Progressives are all about progress, as long as it’s for everyone. The wealthy are rich enough.

Perhaps the older cohorts are not populists, they just remember the good old days.

I strongly disagree with Seven about Chomsky’s linguistics but I do agree with him on progress.

What is progress? Progress means moving towards a goal. People not always agree on the goal.

One example of "progress" from New Zealand. In the middle of 10s, the New Zealand govt adjusted the way they estimated unemployment. Now, say, if you spent an hour a week doing some charity work, you wouldn't be counted as unemployed and that's how we have such awesome employment figures while also so many people on the dole. I wonder if all those stats Pinker quotes, were produced similar way.

Old video

He could summarize it better" "We can work it out!"

Nazis = commies = Marxists = progressives, by transitive closure…

Not Progressives Regressives, tell the truth no sugar coating it. Socialists in disguise hoping for our failure in other words trouble makers.

Progressives don't hate progress. They hate White people, capitalism and the entire Western world which was created by White people through capitalism.

The only progress the Fabian Progressives care for is a steady progress towards a global dictatorship.

I’m not sure the premise here is sound. It seems the progressives just don’t find it useful or advantageous to talk about rather than them hating it. I’d use the opposing side as an example. Let’s imagine Pro life people who live in a place where abortion was completely allowed with no restriction. They slowly gain traction gradually over generations until there is a 6 week cutoff. From an outside perspective that’s huge progress for their side but for someone who thinks abortion is murder it’s all but meaningless. Kinda like if you’re being tortured mercilessly day and night and eventually that gets down to one torture session per day it’s hard to acknowledge that your situation has improved even though technically it has improved quite a bit.

You might consider using the word, tradeoff, rather than the word, solution.

Progressivism is just the slow road to hell.

Almost everyone is capable of consuming the world at an accelerated rate. That’s progress.

He didn't mention suicides or drug overdoses or homelessness. Suicides started raising in 2008 and every year has climed. Except in 2017-19, when it dropped. 2020 started climbing again.

I am a conservative, and it sounds like ‘Progressives’ aren’t the ones who hate progress. Humans in general hate progress. Good news is boring, so no one pays attention to it, and as a consequence, it comes as a big surprise when one is actually exposed to good news.

How do people who describe themselves as progressive define themselves - I mean what does it mean to be a progressive?

Real progressives do like progress. That what he is saying is absurd.

Left-wing loons never factor in pragmatism or human nature which is why they're always wrong about anything & everything important.

The question is: is the shown progress because or despite the progressive left?

Progressives hate some Forms of progress. They want to raise minimum wage but then keep printing money or increasing credit to inflate the money supply and then prices go up. A sound monetary system would be progress but inflation is labeled progress. Now both republicans and democrats want inflation as both parties worked together to pass the federaaal reeeserve aact in 19111113 making the central bank privateeely owned paying a 6%%% diiividend.

Because it is not their version of progresss.

Easy. Its a car and everybody in it knows the best way to get there and which there they want to go to -

Speaking of progress, exactly how is it defined? Examples? And what is the short and long term price (s) of such progress?

The salaries of most Americans and Brits will summarise the situation. Progress is a huge problem that creates even bigger issues in society, fuelling GREED, corruption and unethical, even more selfish behaviour. Again, look at the unemployment in society and REAL wages levels.

What a set up question. Personally i see no contradiction in being a progressive who sees progress as essential.

Thats cherrypicking data at its BEST. You know why people are getting more concerned? Its not because people are “irrational”. Its because most people are just learning about global warming, and starting to FEEL the effects. Also, why he refuses to address the tangible projections? Why are those abstract cherrypicked metrics more “rational” than the actual global temperature? People care about the bottom line. That’s all. The fact that THE PLANET IS GETTING WARMER and DISASTERS ARE INCREASING doesn’t fit his narrative that “things are improving”. So, he conveniently leaves them aside. Coastal cities will flood. Seawater will infiltrate the earth, damaging the buildings structure. As most populous cities are built on the coast, millions of people will need to be displaced. Also, there’s the increased number of natural disasters. Floods, hurricanes, harsh summers and winters. So much crop land will be lost. There’s a desertification process happening in the northeast of Brazil; and it’s expected to get as big as England. Why nitpick “good” data and simply not mention the actual projections? Why speak only about the “positive”, like reduction on the carbon emissions, and forget that companies are simply switching to other forms of emissions, like Methane? Mind you; Methane produces 4x the amount of greenhouse effect! This video is dishonest and MISLEADING.

There are no solutions, only tradeoffs. Thomas Sowell.

Some of his graphs are highly selective: they dont account for the fact that we need to reduce almost 85% of the energy that runs the world´s economy (which comes from fossil fuels) in the next generation. Or the price of housing everywhere. Or the generalized loneliness. Or ...

Reasoning by induction (= extrapolating from past trends) is a fallacy if you don't understand the underlying causes. Steven Pinker is right, provided there will be: - enough energy (not sure if we exclude coal from energy mix) - enough agriculture productivity (not sure if global weather is more and more changing, and if we keep killing biodiversity) - enough R&D in things that matter (not sure if economic doesn't factor in the physical side of things), - enough society stability (not sure when looking at you, AI). He's betting we can do it, but I'm not confident to bet against nature (= physics). PS: don't get me wrong, I'd be glad to agree with him

"Progress" is an oxymoron to "progressives." What they typically call progress is always nothing of the kind, and is in reality quite the exact opposite.

The young have been de-educated. That's why they think differently.

Initial thoughts - how is going to connect his initial statement that “progressives hate progress” to the progresses he highlights. And why would he imply that progressives don’t like decreases in deaths, crime, poverty, etc. Seems like a disingenuous, clickbait argument.

There was one thing missing in the Roman empire, it was the police. Cesar should have ben arested when he crossed the Rubicon. Ther was only the Legions and the praetorian guard. Not enoughe to uphold the law. Ther was no roule of the law in the Roman empire

Isn’t it weird that the more secure the world becomes economically the more ticked off it seems so many are getting? Perhaps it’s just better communication systems highlighting the few.🤷🏼

progression is a business. Once someting is solved, it's time to move on to the next thing. But when most everything is solved, it's time to create "new markets". Hence: "what is a woman?"

Because they mistitled themselves

I wonder what his statistics would look like if he added deaths attributed to Socialism and Communism in the twentieth Century, I wonder how his poverty statistics would look post COVID? His pollution statistics are skewed, because to meet those changes, the USA has exported their industry to countries like China and India. The resulting pollution doesn't just rival the levels in the USA in the mid Twentieth century but exceeds our pollution to an astonishing level! Yet both countries exempt themselves continuously from ANY controls on this. I'm glad the youngest voters tend not to vote. At eighteen I was stupid enough to vote for Jerry Brown. Now, I will offer the faint excuse that he was thoroughly deceptive. However I did learn from that and have NEVER voted for another Democrat. Also changed my party at twenty to Republican. Nor have I voted for ANYTHING that involves new taxes, or taking any kind of debit out on the Taxpayer. Yes, I learned. They should have left the voting age at 21.🙄

Simple - they're regressives.

Meh.

He must be from Mars.

Homicides by muslims haven't gone down. They've done several genocides since the 1990s alone. Muslims don't count rapes they commit as crimes either.

Extreme poverty -Life expectancy YES. All dramatically improved. Reason? 1.Healthy working and living conditions improved again BY political social pressure - activism,. (. When people started demanding all these were violently denied and suppressed in the beginning ) 2. High tech progress funded ( the expensive part ) by the public sector NOT the markets.

Moral progress democracy yes . Reason ? Activism and social political pressure- IF you are reading history : People demand democracy and civil rights freedom - they are violently suppressed but they finally win,, in many cases,

Regarding wars : Yes. BUT. There is the danger of nuclear war which can make us all vanish.....
