What progress? (1) Three remarks
I am astounded by the shallowness of my contemporary history. For them, history does not exist then it is all mixed. The story does not so much good press, in general terms when she was queen for the schoolchildren of the Third, now for some, meritocracy, the kind of teachers or more. My grandfather, single bank employee, was passionate about history.
short, probably out of laziness, time seems incredible to most of my contemporaries. It is even the best of all, it seems. Blinded by the technology we take for the most sophisticated of men. Myself, who has had a little mishap with my computer, I raged at first then I found that being forced to do without computer made me more calm and confident and basically I could do without. Also man adapts smoothly, there are only desires that are more or less inadequate. If the phones, television, computers or even cars no longer worked, for some reason, it would actually be an opportunity for humanity to regain some (many?) of his fraternity of yesteryear when we did not need this futile to communicate and move in all directions. We would then be forced to sympathize with our neighbors simply held between us by simply need each other, who founded the village life, for example. The extension of our space (caravel, train, car, plane) increasing individual isolation and destroyed the primary solidarities based on need and not on a futile desire (what is commonly called "freedom"). Began with the great discoveries (being with the Protestant capitalism, in fact), the myth of technology (bringing people closer, communicating) gets exactly the opposite of its designs.
