Quote by Bertrand Russell

Change is scientific, progress is ethical; change is indubitable, whereas progress is a matter of controversy.

Change is scientific, progress is ethical; change is indubit

Summary

This quote suggests that change is a natural, inevitable part of life, similar to the principles of science. It implies that change is undeniable and something that occurs regardless of our intentions or beliefs. On the other hand, progress is depicted as a subjective concept, more closely related to ethical considerations. It implies that progress is not universally agreed upon and can be a matter of debate and differing opinions. In essence, while change is certain and objective, progress is a complex and often disputed idea.
