Progress Through Time: Analyzing Perception and Reality
This chapter examines how each generation perceives its scientific advancements as the peak of progress, challenging the assumption that current times are uniquely exceptional. By comparing past and modern innovations within the broader context of history, it underscores the need for humility in understanding knowledge and the rapid pace of change, particularly during the early 20th century. Through a mix of humor and historical insight, it explores urban transformation, technological developments, and the challenges of waste management, drawing parallels to contemporary issues.
