But all cultures are equally progressed through time because as all humans share a common ancestor, so too all cultures must share a common ancestor.
I think what you’re saying is that more egalitarian societies are more progressed through time. As though time inevitably leads to egalitarianism. It doesn’t.
Would a technologically superior alien consider modern Canadian society to be more advanced than a more caste based, misogynistic patriarchy (like the roman empire)?
Maybe they would look at how we treated women and the poor/the enslaved and say we are culturally advanced compared to the Romans.
Maybe they would look at the number of animals that we kill for the pleasure of it (spectacle, and the taste of flesh) how do you think they would judge us vs the Romans? (The meat industry is about pleasure, not sustenance)
Maybe they would look at the way we leave the earth for future generations how do you think they would judge us vs the Romans?
Maybe they would be scandalized that we are willing to eat other life’s DNA, can’t humans see that it’s cannibalism?
