Exactly. If anything we are devolving.
Look at the segments of the population that is procreating far faster than others. The welfare crowd, People stuck in a 600AD time warp. Not encouraging.
Women get implants, plastic surgery to make themselves more attractive. Men do tummy tucks, hair implants, eyelids.
Last I checked there wasn't a silicon gene. Their offspring will not look like the altered parents.
Modern medicine keeps weak specimens alive that in turn have children.
Years ago those weak people wouldn't live long enough to procreate.
Are up evolving or devolving. I vote for the latter.
Also, in the realm of ideas, modern prosperity encourages idiocy. Because there is a cushion for Leftist politicians not to suffer the immediate consequences of their actions, people believe that that drivel is equally valid. When you become too civilized, you loose key aspects of the will and drive that got you to where you are. You start living off the past and are condemned to inevitable decline. One almost has to believe that a the success & advance of modern socieity also contains the seeds of its destruction.
