Note that the author also has a "fear of the future": A fear of a future where other people "...vote to stop this change. And then also the next big one. And so on until progress grinds to a halt." There are many possible futures, and humanity, collectively, has some say in which come about. When someone claims we are impeding progress, we also have the right to ask "progress towards what"? The author seems to think that "progress" towards the total elimination of humanity is totally cool, so I'm not really bought into his notion of progress and I'm more than happy to see it grind to a halt.
