I find this statement absolutely insane. We’ve made huge progress on just about every facet of life I can think of and continue to. It’s cool some guy wrote a book on it but it’s a pretty narrow and contrived view of the world.

“huge” progress does not equal innovation. Being able to order a pizza in 60 seconds using an app is huge progress versus calling the store and ordering with your voice, but it is not a significant innovation. Now, printing a pizza using a digital recipe from a restaurant on my food printer would be something else.

huh? Progress requires innovation, the two are tightly linked
