I'm not seeing it explicitly stated in this post but there is an important detail that other comments seem to be ignoring/assuming. There's a difference between a class that requires students "to consider that the idea that relentless progress that steamrolls all other concerns might not be the right way to think about progress"(from one of my sibling comments), and a class that requires students to not believe in relentless progress. Like a class that assigns an essay with the prompt "explain why building more datacenters is bad" or a class that assigns "are more datacenters good" are two very different classes. My sibling comments seem to be assuming that the later is happening. I suspect the OP thinks the former is happening.
