AI may appear to be Progress. But real Progress doesn’t always travel forwards.

We are probably all guilty of taking for granted the idea that progress is a life process that can and only ever go one way.

Yet progress isn’t directional.

The real meaning of progress is a pathway or journey towards an outcome where our experiences of life will have been improved.

Better isn’t always achieved by adapting to or adopting tools, methods or experiences that we haven’t used before.

A significant trap for the unwary exists where change has not worked out as well as hoped.

Instead of going back to what was proven to work before, we step forward again, armed with the foolish belief that moving forward or progress is the only way a bad situation can be improved.

Change for change’s sake doesn’t help anyone, other than those who believe they have something to gain.
