My sentiments exactly.

>The reason for that is not enough progress.

No, the reason for that is not enough political action for solving that.

It's not like we don't have enough food, resources of technology to solve all of those problems. And it's not like any new technology is applied to solving them.

People are dying (by the millions) by problems that can be solved by 200 and 300 year old technology.

Will that political action consist of taking the wealth from people who embraced progress and giving it to people who ignored progress?

So they can keep on remaining in the cultural and intellectual stone age and be proud of it?
