AMA: Jason Crawford, The Roots of Progress

What do you think of sustainable progress?

2jasoncrawford2yWhat exactly do you want to sustain? I want progress itself to be sustained, including sustained economic growth. Ultimately I want sustained, continuous increases in human well-being. Typically today, the term “sustainable” means something else. It can mean sustaining the use of a particular technology or a particular infrastructure base, even if that means limiting growth. In this sense, usually, “sustainability” is the opposite of progress: to sustain is to stagnate.
