> Viewing it as "progress" to be able to cause climate change, mass extinction and pollution is a bias that we should check. How could that not be progress? If we've never been able to do that before, but now can, we've moved from a state of inability to a state of ability. That is progress. Now, if you view "progress" as something that is inherently positive, that is a bias you should check.
