The true definition of progress is "advancement towards more [good](good.md)", though in the [mainstream](mainstream.md) the term has been twisted to stand for falsehoods such as "[more complicated technology](capitalist_technology.md)", "[bigger economy](capitalism.md)" and so on. [Idiots](retard.md) rarely think, they can't ask a series of two questions in a row such as "what will this lead to and is the result what we want?", they can [only understand](shortcut_thinking.md) extremely simple equalities such as "moar buttons in a program = more gooder", hence the language degeneration.
Primarily we must realize one thing: by definition the only true progress that matters and should be pursued is just that which gets us closer to our [ideal society](less_retarded_society.md), i.e. progress is only that which makes the life of every individual better as a whole and all other kinds of "progress", such as [technological](tech.md), [scientific](science.md), artistic, political and so on exist SOLELY to serve the main progress of well being of individuals. A thousand year leap in technological development is worth absolutely nothing if it doesn't serve the main goal, it's useless if we can send a car to space, harvest energy of a whole star or find the absolute meaning of life if that doesn't serve the main goal -- in fact such "progress" is [nowadays](21st_century.md) mostly made so that it works AGAINST the main goal, i.e. [corporations](corporation.md) develop more complicated technology to exploit people more and make them more miserable -- that is not true progress, it is its exact opposite.
