I know that "progressive" is a political term with some baggage at this point but it still, essentially, is trying to connote "progressing and changing". Scientific American isn't a magazine about how amazing it is that decades old devices are still functioning adequately - it's about how the world is progressing into the future.
- _dps 6y agoThis is not a reasonable summary of Progressivism. It has 100+ years of history and has a thoroughly developed ideological, political, and moral framework. It's not just "we'd like things to progress", because "progress" (vs "regress") is subjective. Pick whatever controversial topic you care most about, and the people on the other side(s) also want things to be better — perhaps by enacting the policies you hate!
