> But we are approaching the truth. Everything in history, and everything in our daily experience tells us this.

I think this needs substantiation. You present this like a fact, but it looks entirely like an opinion: your interpretation of history.

It presents a sense of inevitability that I find extremely dangerous.

The only thing that keeps us from losing what we have today - as many civilizations have done in the past - is our actions. Presenting it as historical inevitability cheapens both the meaning of our actions but also discourages people from seeing just how important active effort is.
