Society can do nothing but evolve. The world has changed and society has changed with the aspects best able to continue in the modern world being those thar continued.
Is society better off or not is a good question.
All we have is technological advances. As a civilization I would argue that we have made no progress, and we simply repeat histories of feast/famine, war/peace, justice/injustice because we are stupid animals.
One would think after approximately 6000 years of documented history we would have worked the bugs out of this whole “civilization” thing if we were truly intelligent or making progress.
Not quite true, I think. Thanks to education, literacy, better nutrition, we have been nearing the level where the old ways are nowheres -nearly- as crude, unthinking and hurtful as they were for 5900 of those years. All the scamming has been laid out for everyone to see. And now, we get to choose.

You believe at about 1925 we shifted from “crude, unthinking, and hurtful” old ways and have made substantial progress in the last 100 years away from excessive resource consumption, constant war, and constant injustice for the majority of people living in the world today?
‘1925 we shifted’ … no, Over the century that followed, yes, to a great extent. While our handlers have continued in their ways, much of the great mass of humanity has moved (and history shows it, if you’re familiar with it all) into a much better place. Tens of millions died across Europe in the '20-40s … not repeated since WW2 and the A-bomb. The current admin notwithstanding, *humanity itself has shifted away from the bastards … and they know it … and they’ll soon (not soon enough) be dead.
definitely evolving … up until 2025, now regressing
I’d say tech has evolved but I’d say civilisation has stayed the same. as a species we still can’t treat our fellow human beings right because they have a different skin colour so
Technology =|= Civilization
Humans are nice to each other as long as they can afford it. Limit their access to clean water and food and they will turn into bloodthirsty monsters, like any animal will do.
Depends entirely on where you live I suppose. At best we’ve stagnated.
Most of what we refer to as the 1st world is rapidly regressing.
regressed.
One of my acquaintances is a woman married to a woman, so I’d say we’ve at least made some advances in minding our own business.
