"humanity, let us say, is like people packed in an automobile which is traveling downhill without lights at a terrific speed and driven by a four-year-old child. the signposts along the way are all marked 'progress'"

If the four-year-old child driving the automobile called 'humanity' happens to swerve and hit one of the signposts, would that still be considered progress? And so 'progress' could in fact get in the way of humanity moving forward.
