A lot of post-modern thought is stuck in a flatland vision of history as endlessly cycling, going nowhere in particular. The Buddhists tried that too, although they had 6 realms to cycle through, and a clear goal (escaping the loop).
This post-modern flatland loop comes on the heels of the deconstruction & dismantling of grand narratives, especially the modern narrative of endless progress & growth. Important truth: Endless progress/growth is what got us into this ecological crisis!
Another truth I find in this circular vision of history is that we have lost important truths from the past, that need recovering. This is why I've been learning to garden from my Elders, and why I've studied several religious traditions in-depth.
The truth I find in the linear model is that history isn't just a constant Groundhog Day scenario, but there is real change happening, and that some of this change can be seen as relative progress, at least across multiple fronts.
Here's an evolutionary vision that I'd propose is more true than either of these models: New physical & biological forms have emerged over time (atoms, cells, complex multi-cellular organisms) and have become a relatively stable foundation upon which further emergence occurs.
I don't think it's much of a leap to suggest that the same physical and biological evolution that we've witnessed with our scientific methods of observation/analysis, are also happening with human culture, spirituality, economics, etc.
The challenge is in fluidly zoom between timescales when thinking about this, realizing that in the short-to-medium term there is progress and regression, lines and circles, but in the long-term there is "revolution with change" (John Vervaeke), or spiralling evolution.pic.twitter.com/qxEee9u8GN
Also, human cultural evolution is happening at a much faster time rate than either physical or biological evolution, on the scale of hundreds or thousands of years, instead of millions or billions.
That this cultural evolutions rests stop the biosphere is one of the most important things I can think of to keep in mind. If we debase ourselves, there's no reason to think that this human experiment in evolution won't come to an abrupt halt (or stall out significantly).
