In this live episode of The Deep Share, I'm joined by Duane Hayes, Doug Mckenty, and Nick Heys for a deep dive into the origins of the modern concept of progress - and the historical movements, personalities, institutions, and ideas that helped shape the world we live in today.
Where did the idea come from that humanity is constantly moving forward toward a better, freer, more perfect future?
Through Duane's newest presentation, we trace a complicated historical thread through antinomianism, Sabbateanism, Frankism, the French Revolution, utopianism, progressivism, and the emergence of modern internationalism.
The investigation moves through Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel, Rudolf II's Prague, Johannes Kepler, Tycho Brahe, Moses Dobruska, and the intellectual world surrounding early modern Europe, and the transformation of older religious and messianic concepts into increasingly secular visions of human advancement.
From there, we follow the idea of progress into the modern era:
- The rise of American Progressivism
- Louis Brandeis and the Progressive movement
- The “efficiency” and “preparedness” movements
- The origins of the modern military-industrial complex
- The Paris Peace Conference
- The Treaty of Versailles
- The League of Nations and the eventual creation of the United Nations
- The emergence of modern internationalism
- The Council on Foreign Relations and the networks surrounding the post-WWI order
- World's Fairs and the cultural promotion of technological and social “progress”
- The relationship between progressivism, utopianism, and centralized authority
Throughout the discussion, we return to several recurring concepts: inversion, antinomianism, universalism, utopianism, and the replacement of traditional social and religious structures with an ever-expanding vision of engineered human progress.
The central question is what happens when “progress” itself becomes an ideology?
And who gets to decide what direction humanity is supposed to be progressing toward?
