What does philosophy have to say about what the point of society and the human progress should be?
Not in the sense of "hurr durr human are made to procreate", but I mean what we as conscious, modern people should strive for. Should it be a society of leisure where everyone can spend their time following their interests as machines replace labor? Or a society of discovery: trying to learn more about everything for the sake of knowledge itself? Etc.
What do some well-known philosophers have to say?

Don't ask /his/ about philosophy.

people are hedonists
therefore they will cling to any entertainment
therefore they will build societies where most people will be good little hedonists, claiming that they are less hedonistic than what they are

social revolutions and technological revolutions, ad infinitum, until every last human on earth lives in an equal, healthy, inclusive utopia.
We've had a couple technological and industrial revolutions, and a couple civil rights eras. We've got lots more where that came from.
On and on. Til perfection.
That's literally it.

A society where people have as their goal Eudaimonia, I guess.
Which would eventually even lead to a stronger materially society.

This is the butthurt /pol/tard post. Probably more accurate then the tumblretard rant but still ultimately far too biased and bitter to be of any real value.

There are as many answers to this question as there are philosophers.

The guy you are quoting more or less said what Plato said about Democracy.

Yeah, but dude look at the image he posted. That alone is enough to reveal the problem and the bias with his own thinking and also partially Plato's thinking as well.
