Eh, somebody has to go out and bend the arc of progress.
- borlanco 3y agoAnyone can add to progress, if they acknowledge that progress is whatever works for everyone, literally, for everyone. Who succeeded in doing that? There is Confucius, and Norman Borlaugh, and many others ... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confucius https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confucius https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug
- hooverd 3y agoI did read that article. Borlaugh seemed very "political" in his views on agriculture and land use to be. And a good guy! But if local involvement has taught me anything, people always have their own incentives, and it's really impossible to be anodyne it unless you're just letting them run over you.
