I had the pleasure to sit down with Jason Crawford of The Roots of Progress to discuss human progress in the arts and sciences.

We discussed quite a bit, including:
The concept of progress
Progress in ancient Greece and Modern progress
How it can be lost
How art can fuel human progress
Explorers like Vasco Balboa and the myth of Eldorado
History of bronze, steel and other technologies
And so much more!

Enjoy this great conversation and let us know what you think. Is our ability to continue creating new inventions and making new discoveries coming to an end?
