OK, knowledge isn't progress. Why is anything else progress? Nothing lasts forever, is nothing progress?


Progress is whatever you want it to be.

For me, I delist it as progress because I feel I'm at the "diminishing returns" point. Extra knowledge isn't really doing anything for me beyond feeding an addiction.

If I had $10B, I wouldn't consider getting another $10M as progress. There are many who would, but not me. I would ask myself "I'm putting the effort to get $10M. What is that $10M going to do for me?"
