Stagnation leaves ambitious people fighting over a more fixed set of positions. Dynamism and growth continually open new arenas for achievement, making success or failure within any single institution less consequential.
Socialism, environmentalism, scientism, relativism, dogmatism, and doomerism have all earned their bona fides as enemies of civilization. humanprogress.org/enemies-of-civ…
Waymo has begun opening its robotaxi service to public riders in Las Vegas after receiving final approval from Nevada transportation regulators. humanprogress.org/public-robotax…
Some environmentalists claim we are living through a human-caused "sixth mass extinction." That is, by any account, a gross exaggeration. In reality, the modern era is better characterized as a turning point in human-wildlife relations. humanprogress.org/this-earth-day…

Markets don't just rely on social trust. They also produce a more truthful society. "People don’t want to deal with people who cheat them out of their money."
Economic coordination can't be solved by computation. It emerges from the decentralized decisions made by billions of actors—each with their own plans, preferences, and knowledge—in an ongoing, evolutionary process. humanprogress.org/ai-cant-replac…

The productivity slowdown is not an immutable law of nature. It is, at least in part, the consequence of policy choices. By streamlining permitting processes, reforming how research is funded, and reducing barriers created by protected local monopolies, we can accelerate innovation in the physical world. humanprogress.org/escaping-the-p…

Not only is food getting more abundant, but it also takes less land to produce. In 2022, thanks to rising yields, growing a given quantity of crops required 70% less arable land than it did in 1961.
An analysis from the Bureau of Labor Statistics found that across industries, the rise in remote work and total factor productivity growth may be positively correlated, and many employees report higher productivity at home. Some research also suggests that hybrid and fully remote work may have positive effects on individual employee productivity, satisfaction, and physical health. humanprogress.org/evolving-marke…

A recent study confirms that, while the American economy has never ceased to crave raw materials, it has grown better at extracting more value from less stuff. humanprogress.org/americas-commo…

Status is different from food, housing, or energy. Making more of those things can leave everyone better off. Within a single hierarchy, relative rank remains zero-sum. The answer is not to abolish hierarchy, but to create more independent arenas in which people can succeed.
The International Energy Agency expects the global number of AC units to triple by 2050, from 2 billion to 5.6 billion, bringing the technology to two-thirds of the world’s households. humanprogress.org/the-heat-crisi…
