Why don't we build self-sustainable underground cities? Have we learned anything from the history of this planet? One way or another, surface life will perish one day. Doesn't mastery of the matter we have unlocked give us a chance to prepare for it? And just how much easier it would be to expand beyond the planet once we have figured out and practiced these technologies?

Thousand-Year Gap

It’s 4 AM. I’m sitting up in bed, iPad in hand, absorbed in Timaeus and Critias Plato’s legendary dialogue about Atlantis. This has always been a deep fascination of mine. The idea of a lost advanced civilization, a society that supposedly thrived before being swallowed by the sea, has captivated countless minds for centuries. But as I read, another thought lingers: 

Are we a thousand years behind where we should be?

Yes, I know we have modern technology, smartphones, AI, space travel. But step back and truly consider it. Shouldn’t we be far beyond this point? Shouldn’t we have flying cars as standard, sprawling lunar cities, underwater metropolises? The 1965 TV program Tomorrow’s World envisioned so much of what we now take for granted computers, touchscreens, automation. Yet, I still feel we’ve barely scratched the surface of what’s possible. 

What slowed us down? Wars? Politics? Misplaced priorities? A complacency with what we have rather than a drive for what could be? We put men on the Moon in 1969, but over fifty years later, we’re still messing about with incremental upgrades rather than giant leaps. The Atlanteans, according to Plato, had a mighty empire, remarkable knowledge, and perhaps even technology lost to time. Were they real? A myth? A cautionary tale? Regardless, their story reminds us that progress isn’t guaranteed it can be erased in an instant. 

No, I wasn’t born in the 60s (before anyone suggests it). I was born in 1993, thirty-two years ago. And even in my lifetime, I’ve seen incredible advancements. But I can’t shake the feeling that we could be so much more if only we had the vision, the ambition, and the will to push forward. 

Atlantis may be lost, but our future doesn’t have to be. The question is are we willing to rise above our own limitations?

The Paradox of Human Progress: A Journey Through Morality and Civilization

Introduction

The human race, in its imbecilic ilk, prides itself on the grandeur of its civilizations and the sophistication of its moral constructs. These, among other accomplishments, have been lauded as the quintessential markers of our evolutionary triumph. Yet, beneath the ostentatious façade of progress and civilization lies a paradoxical reality that challenges the very foundation of these achievements. This essay sets out to explore the inherent contradictions of our so-called "progress," dissecting the human constructs of morality and civilization, their influence on our environment, and the implications for our collective future.

Morality and Civilization: Constructs of Human Ingenuity

The concept of morality, as we understand it, is a unique product of human cognition. It is not inherently existent in the natural world but rather a construct devised to govern human behavior. This set of principles, often mired in subjectivity and cultural biases, shapes our interpersonal interactions and societal structures.

Civilization, likewise, is another human artifact. Born out of our capacity for advanced reasoning and tool use, civilizations are complex social organizations that have allowed us to dominate the Earth's landscapes. They are testaments to our species' unparalleled ability to manipulate our environment to serve our needs.

However, it's crucial to recognize that these constructs are not universal truths but tools, not dissimilar to the physical implements we wield. They are tools of social organization and behavioral regulation, products of our species' advanced cognitive abilities.

The Destructive Consequences of Our Tools

While these tools have undoubtedly propelled us to the top of the food chain, they have also set us on a collision course with our own survival. The manipulative prowess that allowed us to build towering cities and intricate networks of trade has simultaneously precipitated a wave of environmental degradation of unprecedented scale.

It is here that the paradox of our progress becomes starkly apparent. Our civilization, the crowning jewel of human achievement, is the very tool that now threatens to undo us. The irony is both tragic and illuminating. We have become victims of our success, ensnared in a web of our own making.

Our relentless pursuit of progress has blinded us to the ecological costs of our actions. We have exploited the Earth's resources with reckless abandon, upsetting delicate ecological balances and triggering a cascade of environmental crises. Climate change, biodiversity loss, and widespread pollution are but a few of the calamitous consequences of our insatiable appetite for growth.

Conclusion: A Call for Introspection and Change

It is high time we confront the uncomfortable truth: we are not the paragons of virtue and wisdom we fancy ourselves to be. Our morality and civilization, while remarkable, are not infallible. They are mere tools, and like any tool, they can be wielded for good or ill. The choice, as always, is ours to make.

We must engage in deep introspection, scrutinizing the principles that guide us and the societal structures we inhabit. We need to reassess our relationship with the natural world, recognizing that our survival is inextricably tied to its health. This requires a radical shift in our thinking, a departure from the anthropocentric worldview that has long dominated our societies.

In the final analysis, our species' future hinges on our ability to adapt and evolve, not just technologically but also morally and socially. The challenges we face demand nothing less than a revolution in our consciousness, a reimagining of what it means to be human in the Anthropocene. It's time we look in the mirror and take responsibility for the world we've created. After all, we are not mere spectators in this drama but the architects of our fate.

Is human progress linked to population growth?

Fact Box

According to the live-updated Worldometer, the world population sits at just over 8 billion. The five countries with the highest populations are India (with 1.43 billion), China (1.42 billion), the US (340 million), Indonesia (278 million), and Pakistan (241 million).

Some innovations that changed history forever are printing presses, including the Gutenberg press, the compass, paper currency, steel, electric lighting in homes, the telegraph, antibiotics and more. 

World Population Review lists these top five countries having produced the most innovations as of 2023: the US, Japan, South Korea, Germany, and Taiwan.

The estimated population during the Roman Empire (around the second century CE) was 65 million, with the world population being an estimated 300 million at that time. And in 1000 BCE, the estimated population was 50 million. 

In the US, the average income per person increased 359% between 1950-2018, rising from $3,296 to $15,138. Worldwide poverty has also declined from a 37.8% rate in 1990 to an 8.4% rate in 2019.

Mark (No)

There is absolutely zero correlation between human progress and population growth. The exact opposite has proven to be the case. Population growth increases the potential for global and civil conflict, which is regressive by nature. Studies conclude that population growth and impoverishment are not mutually exclusive. The more population grows, the harder it is for many to achieve a higher quality of daily life, leading to resource scarcity. 

There is also a direct link between the surge in population to the 2020 pandemic. A density in population lead to a faster spread of disease. Unemployment rates will also be a factor as the population continues to grow. In some cases, people outnumber the amount of jobs or welfare services available. When population was smaller overall, innovation was more consistent, and stress levels were lower. 

As far as overcrowding and urbanization go, major cities show how in the last decade how impossible daily life can be due to population increase. High population density creates overcrowding in cities, producing more pollution, traffic congestion, inadequate housing, and reduced quality of life. These challenges hinder progress.

Population growth even causes the cost of living to increase. Resources are systematically depleted, as there isn't enough time to mass-produce items to keep up with the surge in demand. Additionally, increased population growth significantly impacts the environment (as seen in deforestation, pollution, and a warmer climate), making more places on Earth unlivable and unsustainable. It has become alarmingly clearer the serious trouble caused by overpopulation, including economic inequality/disparity, the pressure put on healthcare and social service systems, and the potential for culture clashes as groups with vastly differing worldviews continue to interact. All of this and more challenges human progress, affecting us now and for generations to come.

Elisa (Yes)

Human population growth is directly linked to human progress, producing the world's most relied-upon advancements and changes, such as medical achievements in antibiotics/vaccines, more mothers and children surviving birth, increased public health and welfare programs, and improved sanitation. HumanProgress explains that 'sustained innovation' is mainly driven by population growth and freedom, writing, 'Knowledge creation starts with new ideas that originate in the human mind. More minds generate more ideas.' We need more people to create innovative and diverse ideas for our society to flourish ideologically.

The Industrial Revolution demonstrates the correlation between population growth and human progress. The Industrial Revolution changed the world forever due to a growing, demanding, and innovative human population. Similarly, as technological discoveries and quality of living increased, so has life expectancy throughout the 20th-21st centuries. Poverty has also declined overall as human population grows innovation increases.

Likewise, having fewer or no children is a disastrous concept that needs no celebration. According to BBC, 'the distribution of working-age populations will be crucial to whether humanity prospers or withers. To put it simply, we need growth in a working-age population to make human progress.' Further, according to the CATO Institute, our air is cleaner when more people are more educated, and people are much safer overall, despite tremendous population growth in the past century. 

Increased population paired with increased migration even brings about cultural exchanges, leading to inclusiveness and the sharing of diverse ideas. Given that and the following facts—that growing populations lead to an increased labor force and consumer base, stimulating economic growth and scientific, medical, and technological innovation, thus improving society's overall prosperity—people are the ultimate resource in pursuing human progress.
