Progress, generally speaking, is a concept that can be very subjective. On an individual basis, it is easy to say one has progressed as they reach set milestones or simply reach a more comfortable place in life. When looking at society it becomes a more problematic task to determine progress due to the conflicting ideologies that exist among individuals. In this episode, the guys discuss our views of what progress is and what should be done to ensure there is societal progress.
