I enjoyed this dialogue. One thing that makes me hesitate to jump in with the progress community is Edward Wilson's quote about humans having "Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and god-like technology".
I get the impression that, at our current level of development, reforming our institutions is probably more important and neglected than further technological progress.
