Hence my phrasing: going back, whatever that may mean, or forward, whatever that may mean.
We will always progress into the future. Going "back" to a more local agricultural society coexisting with nature can also be seen as progress. Progress is not the same as technological advances, we can progress as a society or as humanity. And we probably need a mix of both: coexistance with our environment and technological innovation. A framing of the question being either about progress or regression is utterly useless.
