Is all the change we see and have seen with humanity for a reason?
In my opinion, some examples of change, like the progression of science, secularism and more liberal policies seem to be coming for a reason. I was under the impression that nothing stays the same and we are constantly evolving in many ways, whether it’s culturally, technologicaly, politically etc. Should we not allow some of this change, since, if we didn’t need it, so many wouldn’t be asking for it?

I would like to think that all the changes we have seen with humanity is because we are becoming more humane.
All change is for a reason – the reason is that someone wanted it badly enough.
I would not call it change.
It is more of a process.
@ChazMaz Oh yes that is a better word to describe it.
humans have been and continue to be busy creating utopia. it takes a very long time.
change? what change? underneath we are all the same animal we were when we were living in holes.
I wouldn’t call it a reason, I’d call it a cause. I do assume that’s what you’re thinking of; one factor driving all of these developments.
Maybe the main reason why we constantly develop in terms of culture and politics and language and fashion, is just that things get boring after a while. The ideas we have get old, and we get tired of them, so then some of us come up with something new and the other people welcome the change.
And if we’re going to change all the time anyway, we might as well pick something better than we had. Anything less sophisticated or justifiable or agreeable than what we already had is surely not going to catch on.
That mostly doesn’t apply for science, though, or at least I should hope it doesn’t. Science has formal requirements other than popularity.
