Devil Wrote:That would only apply if evolution didn't give humans the ability for reasoning.

Our society doesn't benefit anymore from physical fit humans, since they all will be replaced by automated robots, and less fit (older) people will be aided by these robots.

The only three evolutions of the human race that are left are:
- Survival (getting as old as possible)
- Evolving the human mind to aid in the quest of survival.
- Creating a society that aids to the above points.

But apparently the whole of humanity fails very hard at the last point... Especially for certain individuals at 4Chan, Nexon Forums & Co...

Fast forward to end game.... one of the best evolution is human, and it's not because it's the strongest evolution, but it's because you can use a weapon (a bone).

Moral of the story? Well, find one...

Sorien Wrote:I once watched a movie called Idiocracy that revolved around the human race going through reverse evolution and the entire world ending up either mentally retarded or about as mature as a 6th grader. The explanation for this was that with advanced medical technology and various other factors, the human race wasn't undergoing the normal form of natural selection. Instead of natural selection favoring the humans that were strong or smart enough to fend for themselves until sexual maturity, it favored the part of the population that breaded the most. Since the more intelligent part of the population tends not to have children until they're absolutely sure they can support that lifestyle, they often lose a portion of their fertility by the time they're ready, whereas the dumber parts of the population have more children because they have more sex as teenagers or just don't use birth control.

The movie itself was pretty stupid, but I couldn't help but laugh since it's premise actually made a lot of sense, and now I keep thinking back on that movie whenever I watch the news.
