Can we really look at the past for direction? It was more or less full of conflict. We need modern solutions to modern problems (or not so modern problems), not regress towards old points of view.
- tomohawk 7y agoProgress is getting closer to achieving a goal. Just because something is newer or 'modern' does not mean that it is progress. Look at the regress of the 20th century with the modern regimes that were going to usher in utopia. Progress may also mean avoiding dead ends. If you goal is to get to the moon, climbing the nearest tree is not progress. It's regress. So, no, we don't need modern solutions. We need effective solutions. If the solution happens to be modern, that is besides the point.
