I think the pinnacle of human progress would be to recognize that while we are all different in the perceived value we create for the world, but also recognize we are all humans with all of the same needs. The value created by individuals should not be the measure by which we are forced to fulfill our basic needs. Everyone should get everything they need to survive regardless of how much value they create. Anything else is forcing those with low "value" to starve either directly or systematically.
