“It isn’t just the US: the half of the world’s population that lives in urban areas generates more than 80 percent of global output, while 600 cities that account for just one-fifth of the global population generate more than 60 percent of global output. Urban living is also healthier for the environment as it tends to involve less travel and smaller housing. Add to that the fact that urban dwellers are ideologically different from their rural counterparts: comparatively liberal, international, trade- and migration-loving, in favor of gender equality and gay rights, environment-defending, and open-minded in matters of religion. The city is progressive—and it’s where progress happens.”
Charles Kenny, The Plague Cycle: The Unending War Between Humanity and Infectious Disease

“If a progressive revolution is imminent in a country, we can consider that country very lucky because progressive revolutions make societies leap forward in time at rocket speed!”
