As harsh as I am on humanity, it's not entirely people's fault. We have primate emotions that have been grossly outpaced by our technological development. This is why I've become somewhat anti-technology despite still working on technology because it stretches us to lifestyles that are distinctly inhuman.
Humanity simply does not have the emotional capacity to handle the technology we create. It never has and never will, and it's just that software has greatly amplified this inability. This is why mental disorders are skyrocketing. We're building emotional prisons with technological walls and bars.

- bmitc 5y agoMy laymen and superficial understanding of the situation is that humans do continue to evolve but our genome is also degrading in terms of building up mutations. https://www.nature.com/articles/news990204-2 https://www.nature.com/articles/news990204-2 If we're evolving, I don't think it's anywhere close to the rate of increase of our technology.
- notacoward 5y agoHuman evolution operates at timescales several orders of magnitude slower than technological evolution so, in effect, no we don't.
