Max More has done a deep dive into the various sub-sets of ideologies which either promote or deny that human progress is real and possible. While one could nitpick over various details, the basic idea that "human progress is real, possible, and necessary" comes across loud and clear. Those of us who care about the future of humanity must be very clear in our understanding that life is continuing to get better for most humans and sentients, and that this process can continue. Gradients of bliss can be our future.
