"the organisations and writers that make up the community almost exclusively focus on material advancements, such as boosting economic growth, improving and accelerating scientific research, and increasing housing supply ("Yimby-ism") and immigration (particularly "high-skilled")."

So the high-level pitch sounds very ambitious and comprehensive, but when we get down to the nitty gritty it's just wealthy professionals cloaking lobbying for the issues that affect them personally in philosophical verbiage. including YIMBYism and high-skilled immigration to the US in a discussion of global progress is like complaining about your dry cleaner's prices during a discussion of the world economy.
