Being aware of and knowing to appreciate the harmony and beauty of cosmic laws and forces as well of the magic of life and consciousness, is an undisputable premise to allow for any further Human Progress, since we are no more than just one of the last steps (at least as we know of) in the long chain of an everlasting cosmic evolution.
For those who have not yet grasped this understanding or, on the contrary, want to reinforce this awareness, Human Progress strongly and passionately recommends the following sequence of videos, just for a start ;) Enjoy!
One of Carl Sagan's most pertinent messages for humanity.
Stephen Hawking, Arthur C. Clarke and Carl Sagan (via satellite) discuss the Big Bang theory, God, our existence as well as the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
The Human Progress Network is an independent and, for now, individual project under continuous development, with limited resources. So, its own progress will be slow for now, but maybe that is just about right, as opposed to fast food, fast money or fast lives and in the line of the Slow Food philosophy. As soon as the circumstances allow it the website(s) will be put in a foundation with the following vision and mission. Most information is initially created in english ("generic") for the highest coverage, lack of time for translation, but also because, quite unfortunately, most of the used videos simply exist only in english (help or suggestions for translation/subtitling or existing versions in other languages are welcome :) Other initial webs of the HuPro Network:
Independency Project for a better world, we first need to become independent (again) from the fierce and ruthless dominance over modern 'civilization' by banks, corporations, big industry and the "growth" concept.
Inspiration Tree for global sharing and development of inspirations/ideas as an ongoing, open, transparent, collective brainstorm session either for solutions or improvement on individual, local or global issues or as input for further progress.
More web-inspirations do exist but only in a conceptual stage yet.
