1 presupposes progressivism - superiority of modernity to the past. "Quest for progress"? Progress towards what - NWO, troons rights, depop, degeneracy and abrotions?
Forgetting the past and our roots has caused us to abandon traditions and culture. Both are markers of a strong civilization, thus ours is currently weak. Also the reason communism wants to erase or modify history.
Without progression, we do not move forward and remain locked in time, a la undiscovered tribes in parts of Africa and S America.
Progress does not necessarily mean progressivism, unless it also includes political ideology.
Progress assumes telos (purpose). There is no quest for progress because progress is not an end in itself. Progress is change of state and has no ethical value. Change is neither good nor bad without an ethical standard. I could be progressing towards a degenerate sociopathic drunk. Is it good that I change my state in that direction or is it better to stay the same?
In this case the word progress is used in the context of Enlightenment liberal worldview and we know where that progress leads - nihilistic skittles brave new world.

I somewhat agree, somewhat disagree.
