PROGRESS: Pro is to con as progress is to Congress. – Richard Dyson, Rocheter, N.Y., quoted in OMNI, 5/79. PROGRESS: Progress is nothing but the victory of laughter over a dogma.” – Decasseres, in my tr. from the German version: “Fortschritt ist nichts als der Sieg des Lachens ueber ein Dogma.” – As if hard thinking, hard labour and many experiments as well as knowledge of precedents and history and science were quite superfluous. But laughter can, indeed, be a powerful weapon for progress, if it is not wasted on trivial things. – JZ, 23.2.08. - Individual and group secessionism as well as exterritorial autonomy may also be required for it. - JZ, 15.2.11. - LAUGHTER, HUMOR, RIDICULE, SATIRE, DOGMATISM, PANARCHISM, IRONY PROGRESS: What we call progress is the replacement of one abuse by another.” – Henry Havelock Ellis. – Tr. by me from the German version: “Was wir Fortschritt nennen, ist der Tausch eines Miβstandes gegen einen anderen.” – This applies certainly much more to the “social sciences”, under territorialism, than to technology and natural sciences., which are free to advance exterritorially, via experimental freedom for volunteers. – JZ, 28.4.09, 21.1.14. - TERRITORIALISM
