Progress - in the meaningful rather than pejorative sense - is naturally impossible in either of the two extremes. One degenerates into chaos, the other crystallizes into inflexible order. A balance is needed.

You can see that crystallisation happening right now:
Inflexible Order imposed by the force driving globalism, via all its acronym-laden tentacles.
Anarchy and chaos being allowed to fester and flourish at the base of society, as long as it never rises to challenge the Order.
At the top of society, reigns Inflexible Order. Corrupt, venal, blind, groping about to gorge itself on anything it can befoul and devour.
At the bottom the rule of the ruthless holds court, making life short nasty and brutish for anyone not being a predator or an agent of Order.
Balance achieved, the way a pole may indeed stand on its own end. It may even stand fast, lodged in the ground. Eventually, that end rots away and the pole falls, the rest of it also going to rot and ruin.
The better balance being, the pole suspended on a fulcrum. But from what to make such a fucrum, where to forge it, how to move the pole back and forth to maintain balance, and how to not overload the ends so that the fuclrum a wedge does not become, snapping the pole in bits - I'm at a loss.
Interesting way of exploring these issues.
