Civilization and progress

Humanity is in constant motion. Science, technology, and the human mind are developing, and if we compare primitive times with our own, we can see that human society is progressing.

From the primitive herd we have come to the state, from primitive tools to perfect technology, and if before man could not explain such natural phenomena as a storm or a change of year, by now he has already mastered the cosmos. Based on these considerations, I cannot agree with L. Levinson's view of progress as a cyclical movement. In my opinion, this understanding of history means marking time without moving forward, constant repetition.

Time will never turn back, no matter what factors contribute to the regression. Man will always solve any problem and will not allow the extinction of his kind.

Of course, there have always been UPS and downs in history, and so I believe that the graph of human progress is an upward-trending broken line in which the UPS predominate in magnitude over the downs, but not a straight line or a circle
