Jason Crawford: What is progress and how do we get more of it?
Thoughts in Between: exploring how technology collides with politics, culture and society - En podcast af Matt Clifford: Co-founder of Entrepreneur First
Jason Crawford is the founder of Roots of Progress, a nonprofit dedicated to establishing a new philosophy of progress for the 21st century. Jason is a prolific writer on the history of science and technology and is one of the leading figures in the Progress Studies community. In this conversation, we discuss what causes progress; why it's not universally popular; what the history of bicycle tells us about why advances in technology sometimes take so long; why the future people imagined in the 1960s didn't happen; and much more.-----------------Thanks to Cofruition for consulting on and producing the show.
