When the student is ready, the teacher will appear
When the market is ready, the memes will appear
If society is just a gradually shifting overton window
That acts as an attentional darwinian filter
Then progressiveness is just a function of a time toward values and societal personality shift
This seems mediated between conservative values if any part of the whole faces scarcity
and liberal values when there is more abundance (and less issues) across the whole
Wokeness for example is a luxury value
Where it rises up when there are less immediately pressing issues like food scarcity
Those geographically closer to war generally have more "no bullshit" attitudes
