RE: Hijacking Evolution With technology
Nice write up.
My main concern here is that modern life does not really have selection pressures to drive human evolution. We are maximizing survival across as many humans and as much diversity as possible. Without selection pressures, you wouldn't really have a refinement or major alteration that would become dominant in the system.
e.g. Even if we start shifting to individuals who have traits that favor use of technology, are they passing those traits on in a disproportionate manner to the rest of humanity?
The sincere truth is this; this technovolution is, most times, not something you willingly subscribe to or maybe dictate the pace at which it occurs. Like the selective hearing I mentioned, it happens as a compensation for the increased environmental noise.
Thanks for reading
