You put your effort into furthering your definition of progress. I'll put my effort furthering mine, and Patrick will work on his.

It totally is, everybody works towards the things that they care about. There is no objective standard for progress. You don't get to define "progress" for everybody else.

There is no shared definition. There are many different groups, each working towards their goals and definition.
