> What happens if the growth rate outpaces our natural evolution? Too bad we can't anthromorphize evolution, else I'd say: maybe that was evolution's "idea" / "gamble" to begin with. Evolve the being that evolves everything "evolution" (nature) itself hasn't. Pyramids, skyscrapers, suburbs, machinery, poetry, computation, computation devices.. entirely abstract pure-thought-stuff machines aka programs.. abstract machines that "evolve" new ones.. and whatever stems from that when we/they get there. But.. evolution doesn't have ideas or plans. Right? Nevermind that we, a self-proclaimed product of evolution, do. Did we even invent (create / evolve) .. the idea of "ideas" and "plans" there? Who could tell, other than some big overseer of it all =) What does "outpacing natural evolution" even mean once non-random-mutation-based change makers .. just naturally evolved via the natural evolutionary mechanisms? Everything they (we) do then is "natural evolution" by extension / implication. Genes and fitness "came up with" (or randomed up) us doing all that, even us wondering and worrying whether we're "outpacing natural evolution". Curious food for thought!
