Directional arrows of progress are those deep, inevitable forces that guide our collective advancements, no matter who the founder is or what technology they create. They trace a pattern of ever-evolving energy extraction and knowledge-building, pushing us forward through time while paradoxically drawing from ancient sources, whether wood from decades ago, coal from centuries back, or uranium forged billions of years in the past. In essence, they’re the unstoppable trajectories of human ingenuity, fuelled by our drive to harness and command the world’s offerings and, in doing so, turn distant histories into tomorrow’s power. ![[Pasted image 20230603231942.png]] ![[Pasted image 20230603231958.png]] ### Carbohydrates to Hydrocarbons to Uranium - Mankinds use of energy directional arrow of progress - Higher and higher density per unit of material ![[Pasted image 20230603232038.png]]
