Social change isn’t like technological progress, despite what liberals like to think: Just because a social model is new and gaining ground doesn’t mean that it represents an advance for human flourishing.
This is something I’ve argued for a long time: “progression” (i.e. change) does not inherently mean progress—an idea much liberalism seems founded on.

An uncontroversial conclusion which is impossible to enact without controversy: ideas must be evaluated on merit, which can include unity with prevailing contemporary schools of thought and historically-demonstrated utility, and many other criteria.
