This is all probably pretty obvious, but it’s going through my head right now. It’s also a simplification, possibly even one of the gross ones.

We can’t really stay where we are as a species, we’re using up too many resources too quickly and causing too much damage.

We can either progress or regress. Progress is risky, might not happen quickly enough, but has the possibility of getting us to a Good Place. Regress will most likely lead to mass starvation and depopulation, but at least the planet will remain relatively usable, as long as we haven’t caused too much irreparable damage.

I like progress myself.

I guess the above are a sign of progress.
