A Short History of Progress and Why It’s Failing Us | Surviving Progress (Full Documentary)

Inspired by Ronald Wright’s bestseller A Short History of Progress, this film is a powerful cinematic exploration of the hidden dangers behind “progress.” Throughout human history, what we’ve called progress has often led to unintended consequences -collapsing civilizations and creating new crises. Today, those same patterns are playing out on a global scale. Featuring insights from leading thinkers, activists, economists, and scientists, the film examines “progress traps”- innovations that solve short-term problems but create long-term risks. As these traps become embedded in our technology, economy, and way of life, the question becomes urgent: Can humanity change course before history repeats itself? ------- Chapters ▷ 00:01:28 - Evolution and the roots of human nature ▷ 00:03:29 - Defining progress and its hidden contradictions ▷ 00:05:58 - The Progress Trap, when success leads to collapse ▷ 00:08:08 - Stone Age brains in a technological age ▷ 00:10:26 - The key difference between humans and other species ▷ 00:14:24 - Innovation, science, and unintended consequences ▷ 00:16:56 - Growth, inequality, and rising global demand ▷ 00:25:22 - Natural capital, limits, and environmental strain
