The Progress Network is building an idea movement that speaks to a better future in a world dominated by voices that suggest a worse one. We connect and amplify voices that are pointing our world in a more positive direction, providing a template for a stable and sustainable future. Our contributors come from diverse fields of business, tech, journalism, politics, and more, but are united in their conviction that humanity’s ingenuity and willingness to cooperate for the common good is ultimately more potent than forces pulling in the other direction.

The Progress Report: Expect the Unexpected
What a lot of inconclusive whinging. I was hoping for a bit of honest soul-searching and analysis of why the democrats failed so dismally to win the election, not a litany of woes and self-pitying leftist wound-licking. When will the left finally have the moral strength and honesty to admit that they seriously fucked up and seriously misjudged the mood of the people and the political climate of the entire nation? When will they dump their useless toxic woke policies and counter-productive ideological madness and start to act like a genuine opposition to someone who, in their minds at least, represents the greatest threat Western democracy has ever faced? This kind of endless wallowing in victimhood and defeat, instead of addressing real problems with real policies for real people, is the perfect illustration of why the left (deservedly) lost the elections. When (after listening to 18 minutes of moaning) I got to the dismal phrase "You don’t tell someone who’s been through something traumatic that they need to like think straighter … I can’t demand that people who are scared and frightened right now immediately switch into analysis mode." I realised that this poor snowflakey lady needs another 6 months of emotional healing and of the "trauma work that has actually informed the way that I'm thinking about this right now" before she can even start to think logically and coherently about what the Harris campaign got wrong. Perhaps people like this are so narcisisstic and deluded that they will never be able to accept that they and those who they vote for could ever do anything wrong.... Who knows? Let's see in 6 months' time after all the deep emotional trauma has healed. Meanwhile I can't help thinking that 6 months of Trump's "evil fascist dominion" will be preferable to listening to all this endless inconclusive weeping and wailing, tragic posturing and belly-aching,
HAHAHAHAHA
So cool!!!
Do we still have Ebola
MOST who value the FOUNDATIONAL IDEAS the host described and the ideas that enable them to do this video would've wanted Vice President Harris to win, if they possess more than a modicum of intelligence. Most around the 🌎 would desire the MOST POWERFUL NATION and MILITARY that's EVER EXISTED to be led by a freedom loving, pluralistic, democratic, human/ civil rights loving person. Go figure. Unless one is insane, dis/ mis/ uninformed or desires a Putinesqe human leading the 🇺🇲... ALL 🧍🏻 around the 🌎 should've wanted Vice President Harris. The HUGE issue is/was here in the 🇺🇸 is that a election results changing number of 🇺🇲🧍🏻have a, " it CAN'T happen here, it WON'T happen here, he WON'T do what he said, it WON'T be that bad," thought process. THIS thought process alone is/was held by 2-3x number of American citizens that would've changed the results in this elections. As a result, OTHER THAN issues concerning our ability to vote Trump and MAHA out of office we NEED to ALLOW Trump's plans/ policies to happen so that the 🇺🇲🧍🏻 feel/ experience them in the slap in the face, unforgettable, undeniable, personal way. The party who STOPS a HUGE negative from occurring DOESN'T/ NEVER receives credit or is even remembered. It's near IMPOSSIBLE to run on a counterfactual. " This or that would've happened without US, " NEVER works. At least NOT ENOUGH to change the 🇺🇲 elections. So the democrats MUST allow Trump's policies to occur. If even half, heck s quarter of them are implemented, Trump and Maga will be easily dispatched in 2028!
Thanks for the interview, always interested to hear Peter's thoughts and opinions. Big fan of his.
There is no way we can even come close to imagine all there is that could exist. We would never have been able to imagine how multicellular life works on planet Earth if we didn't have a working model. With all it's complexity it is totally unimaginable.
Not to be rude. But she says lots without saying much at all. It's like common sense in lots of detail. Just philosophy really.
I've loved Mary Roach for over a decade. Great guest
Really good framing! Refreshingly unlike the majority of media that will doubtless thrive on catastrophizing ...and of course in line with the emphasis of this podcast.
It appears to me that there is no election. There were no candidates. There was no choice. The only way out is within. You can't trust anyone but yourself. Higher Consciousness is a solo journey. Bless you all. Hope that someone hears.
You make people lose weight... of course. But they're going to keep eating shitty food and they're still going to have the health problems of someone who's obese. US citizens ... 😂😂😂
Excellent interview! Hughes careful/methodical/full context analysis and clear/concise integration/framing sets him apart as an exceptionally rationality based thinker. Unfortunately, humans are evolutionarily inclined to utilize the primitive analysis tools of intuition/emotion, instead of the still unnatural deep/focused rationality required for evaluating complex problems of our evolutionary blink of an eye modern society. Hughes sets a good example for doing the intellectual hard work of full rational analysis instead of accepting the typical, taken for granted, and often faulty, intuition based premises that so predominate. (An infuriating act to those inclined to belief in the inherent irrefutability of intuitive/emotionalist premises.) I look forward to/hope he expands his focus to a broader range of issues ongoing! As for the post interview discussions ...I'd suggest that some societal intuitive premises worth deep rational analysis involve the ideas of "equality" and socially engineering "outcomes". Thomas Sowell and Yaron Brook have good contrarian work on these ideas.

Wokism is the number one issue above all others that will get Trump reelected in November.
Lawfare 1984 style 😮
2+2=5 remember that answer to this question no matter what. 1984 in the 21st century looks slightly different than the early 1900s. But the same non the less.
Sadly Trump is the only human being could have made it through the gauntlet of media and big tech ect to survive such a system of privileged wokist leftist so-called progressives controlling of every American citizens & voter's to serve Globalist capitalist corporations
Nice communist propaganda

Vtol
So.... VTOLs?
VTOL means vertical takeoff and landing and is a capability not a type. A helicopter and a harrier are capable of VTOL.
Good thought provoking discussion. Excellent (rare to journalism) nuance/consideration of tradeoffs! Not sure, ...have to think about it more, ...but (perhaps?) overly shallow/rambling/unfocused, and (maybe?) in need of at least some attempt at tradeoff comparisons/framing of data. Good on the hosts to address these at least somewhat in the wrap. Then again, maybe a wide ranging, shallow, but broad context (to stress again - kudos on that) set of data w/out any comparative evaluation is optimal groundwork for any listener willing to do the work of researching deeper, and thinking for themselves.
I've been waiting for Doc Savage (40's pulp fiction) style auto-gyro's (almost tilt-rotor) since I was a kid. Now if we could just finally get the jetpacks I was so sure at 5 yrs old would be ready for me in time to fly to high school.
Amazing podcast I purchased his book excited to read it
They need to stop blaming and take responsibility like the previous generations. For Real
They retreat online and into message boards and even there they are hounded down just to be called bad and evil. It really starts to feel like society is looking for those men to be the problem rather than there be a problem with society. Then men are demonized for even talking about these things let alone grouping up. It is going down, but your still ostracized for it and labeled as a near Andrew Tate character if you say something slightly wrong.
Good stuff!

Another good interview w/ some good ideas. I would suggest however, that the idea of embracing "utopia" is poor terminology for (or conflation with) the good idea of embracing change. I think Utopia refers to a more comprehensive perfection, embrace of which is exemplified by such as Pol Pot, Lenin, Mao, or an idealistic Socialist activist who wants to tear everything down to (somehow) have utopia arise from the ashes. Consistent in these ideas is a greater focus on getting rid of something than the detailed what or how of what actually replaces it. Embracing change that is truly and realistically focused on creating something is indeed hyper important! I don't think that kind of change is ever aimed at "Utopia", which, as noted by Karabell, is a treadmill of ever distant relative condition, and I would suggest, additionally impossible because reality is always degrees and tradeoffs, never perfection. Embrace change ...Yes, absolutely! Embrace crazy change, because that way lies the biggest successes, and embrace repeated change to failure, because that way lies eventual success. Embrace utopia ...no, that is evasion of reality, encourages misery, and is great for destruction/poor for creation. Reality disconnected expectations of utopianism is probably the reason for much of the youth unhappiness today. Embracing change that actually deals in the realities of tradeoffs, and the impossibility of perfection, is the key to forward progress, which is the key to success and happiness for relativistic creatures who require the contrast of negatives to appreciate positives. If utopia was possible, it would be hell for a human.
This kind of attitude is why progressives are the exact kind of people who end up doing horrible things to their fellow man. Progressivism is an anti-human cult.
The Abraham Accords were viewed by some as a superficial agreement, with critics arguing that countries like the UAE, Bahrain, and potentially Saudi Arabia were overlooking the Palestinian cause. The recent actions by Hamas have exposed the harsh realities of the Israeli regime, demonstrating the extent of its brutality. While Israel continued to expand illegal settlements and commit violence against civilians in Gaza, it simultaneously sought peace with Arab nations, except for the Palestinians, who remained excluded from these agreements.
Good interview!
Excellent!! How refreshing to hear rational, data based, full context reporting instead of shallow emotionalist opinionating. Thank you!
I would suggest that those who think that the internet has done more harm than benefit, (and I suspect the vast majority agree w/ the interviewee in this), would reconsider if it was taken away. As related to the premise of this channel, humans are very good, (evolutionarily inclined probably), at selectively ignoring the good. It's also worth noting that, like negative tradeoffs to many advances, most of the negatives are within personal control.
Keep enemy closer , all know how evil could destroy you .
Wow, ...a highly effective Sickle Cell treatment would be incredible! Good stuff!
Great highlight re climate event prediction/warning advance ...a huge factor in the dramatic reduction in climate related deaths worldwide, (a 20 fold reduction over 100 yrs even w/out factoring in a 4 fold pop increase). Extremely pertinent point these days re data distortion via nuance removal/binary communication, and accordingly, the inevitable distrust of media/bureaucracies/elites disinclined to allow individual decision making, (the anti authoritarian key to the astonishingly improved human condition these last few hundred years). As noted, examples of these top down inclinations seem increasingly numerous. Excellent point as well re admiration for researchers motivated to pursue very long term speculative projects. What admirable discipline and character in deriving satisfaction in the process and potential.
A whole bunch of twisted half truths. Gen z is last and very unhealthy. Gen Alpha is promising and are brilliant.
Boomers to Gen X are quickly developing a legacy of being complainers and obstinate
they wont have the longest lifespan as you are already seeing their dependence on HP Foods is aging them faster than gen X, from the cancer rates being seen now, and all the gen x ppl i know going back to un processed food, I wouldnt be surprised if gen x outlast gen z by decades
Hilariously, gen Z are none of these things. - With crashing birthrates, they will always be outnumbered by their elders - and will, in turn, outnumber the tiny number of progeny they produce. - They are the first generation that will have shorter lifespans than their parents in _centuries,_ mainly due to poor upbringings resulting in bad diet, health and well-being they will carry into adult life - and this is before all the crazy stuff they're indoctrinated with at school and by the media that _destroy_ their mental health. - They have very little tech savvy at all, it's merely omnipresent to them: it's like saying because you drive a lot, you're magically a mechanic - and just as silly. When their iPad breaks, they don't get out a screwdriver and fix it - they throw it away and get a new one. - They're incredibly socially-awkward, exclusionary, and psychologically unable to handle opinions from outside their safe spaces. They will hide out on Reddit because the real world is too scary, and cut their contact with their _parents_ (for example) for daring to vote for Trump. I hold very little hope for Zs, and the very, _very_ few who don't fit the above mould (simply because statistical outliers will always exist) will walk among their "peers" like absolute _gods_ - however, they will _still_ always exist under the thumb of the gen Xs and millennials that came before them.
Look it up instead of trusting the evil. FBI just came out and said they were wrong. By %6. Thats a %4 increase of violent crimes.
