And this just one lessons out of innumerable ones for why we need to seek and embrace progress. Anti-progress primitivist groups would make humanity go down a path that's the equivalent of mass suicide. https://twitter.com/jasoncrawford/status/1197589906031181824

That's not to say we should be careless with it, or treat it like a toy. It's not and bad things could happen if we don't approach it with caution, but that doesn't mean we should abandon it

We should instead seek&embrace it while being cautious when handling it

Take space for example, if we listen to primitists and misanthropic groups, then this planet that we evolved on will also be our tomb, with rest of the biosphere joining us sooner or later

If we instead choose progress, we at least has a chance to see many starts, worlds, galaxies, other intelligent beings and many more...
