determinative due process

An alternative forum to Substantive and procedural process to determine agency scope and duty in hearing of claims to asses which duties are subject to which agencies.

We'll need an arbiter educated in multiple fields to handle this agency cluster fuck. The procedural process is taking too long, we need to find out which agency to talk to so we'll need to run a determinative due process assessment.

Right wing progressivism

A branch of the right that values the need to create new culture rather than relying soley on tradition or trying to conserve a ideal past period.

Embracing the future with right wing morality and economic policy, Rather than a Conservative or regressive approach.

A new camp but not narrow; From Ancap/libertarian hybrids in this category to authoritarian corporatists.

Right wing progressivism..

Chamber of Progress

The soundstage where the Apple "Crush!" video was filmed.

The Chamber of Progress sure enhanced the creative output of the unpaid intern we hired in place of that team of creatives we laid off.

Hard Problem of Progress

The problem of valuation: Progress toward what? We conflate technological advancement with moral or civilizational improvement, but they are not the same. You can have progress in computation alongside regress in democracy, progress in medicine alongside regress in community cohesion. The hard problem is that there is no objective, universally agreed-upon metric for "progress." It is a normative, value-laden concept. One group's utopia is another's dystopia. Therefore, any claim of progress is inherently political, reflecting the values and goals of the person making the claim, not an empirical fact about the world.

Example: Is a society with smartphones, genetic engineering, and space tourism, but with rampant inequality, anxiety, and ecological degradation, "more progressed" than a stable, agrarian society with strong community bonds, low stress, and sustainable practices? Techno-optimists say yes; advocates of degrowth or traditionalism say no. The hard problem: There's no scientific instrument to settle this. It's a philosophical and ethical judgment call. History isn't a video game with a single high-score; it's a messy story with multiple, conflicting plotlines, and we can't agree on what a "good ending" even looks like. Hard Problem of Progress.

Theory of Progress Spectrum

The theory that progress exists on a spectrum, not as a linear or absolute trajectory. The Theory of Progress Spectrum argues that what counts as progress depends on where you stand, what you value, how you measure. Technological progress (faster computers) may coexist with social regress (greater inequality). Economic progress (GDP growth) may accompany ecological regress (species extinction). The theory calls for mapping progress on multiple spectra—technological, social, ecological, cultural—and recognizing that progress in one dimension may be regress in another. It's the antidote to simplistic narratives of "progress" that ignore trade-offs and exclude perspectives.

Example: "The city celebrated its progress—new buildings, new businesses, new wealth. But longtime residents saw only displacement, destruction of community, loss of culture. The Theory of Progress Spectrum explained: progress on the development spectrum was regress on the community spectrum. Both were real; both were happening simultaneously. The celebration was for some; the mourning was for others. He stopped asking 'is there progress?' and started asking 'progress for whom, and at what cost?'"
