I'd see progress as more potent means of production, destruction etc etc, and wisdom as a wisdom to use this in a sustainable fashion that does not end up benefitting few and dooming the rest.

And example of progress without wisdom would be uncontrollable population growth in our planet. Well look anywhere and you see similar examples.

How can I know a question is deep and what gives the worth to the answer? What are questions anyway? How and why do we question things and what is that thing we call an "answer"?
