Here’s my suggestion: At its fundamental core, societal progress is about “game change”; it’s when the background rules of life’s interactions—everyday, normal interactions—change and evolve. Progress is when the game of life becomes fairer, kinder, more transparent, more inclusive, more forgiving, more sustainable, more rational, more fulfilling. Game change is a good thing. But it is, paradoxically enough, the bastard child of two evils: game denial and game acceptance.
