I resent my recent ancestors for tearing up all our cities in favour of motorways, and grateful only that it wasn’t worse. They thought that was progress though, and that cars were the only way to move into the future.

I’m not against advancing in this area, but there is nuance. Progress can be short sighted.

Or they will talk about how we rushed too fast to clutter space and now can’t escape earth orbit because of a cloud of dangerous shrapnel and are going to go extinct without being multi planetary.
