Time makes more converts than reason

– Thomas Paine

What is an objective definition of social progress?

Which principles apply universally to all societies?

How can the people of the free world progress further and not regress?

The “Spirit of Progress” answers these questions, detailing an objective definition of progress in human social organization, identifying principles that apply universally to all people and all societies, and showing, through an analysis of world history, that those who have followed those principles achieve progress, while those who violate them invariably fail in the long run.

As much as societies respect the Human Rights of their people, that is how free those societies and people are. Social growth depends on freedom, which is why Human Rights are so important, The text follows the course of Progress through history, focusing on the wealth of connections between cultures and across so-called cultural boundaries to expose the falsity of the Myth of Western Civilization, the fallacy of racial thinking, and to explain why the greatest periods of growth and progress in history have occurred in diverse and relatively free societies, and why the people of the free world must transition to a new, objective identity based on the idea of progress, more than on location and nationality.
