progress is a dance between order and chaos. if you are talking about progress, then you are talking about a spinning coin. a coin has two sides. when it is silent and stiff, only one side is up, either heads or tails. But actually there's third picture you can derive from the coin. that is when the coin spinning. is that an illusion? yes, but we cannot deny the fact that it creates another picture out of the combination of the heads and tails. And such is progress.
when we talked about liberty, we can all ration to the point of limited liberty. but mostly, liberty would drive itself to the point of absolution. as we can see, the other side of the coin becomes the law and order. the illusion of progress has to be a combination of liberty and law. the coin not only has to stand up, it has to be spun as well. what the coin ended with which side up is quite unpredictable. And once it is dead on the ground, somebody needs to pick it up and spin. when the coin gradually stops spinning, only a skillful person could make it to remain in a spinning state. if failed, the outside force would only shorten the spinning chance.
