talking about progress - and so fitting to school:
we are measuring the wrong things
material advances do occur, but they don't mean very much
only intangibles like meaningful happiness count
meaningfullness is very hard to measure, which makes it very hard to optimize.
so far anything we can quantify has been getting better over the long term.
so look at what we're doing in ed.. are we getting better at what matters? or just getting better?
