Beside the THANKS button, there should be a BULLSHIT button.
Some of the posts in this thread remind me of a talk I had with a young adolescent child not so long ago. When I explained to this 12 year-old that computers and television didn't exist 100 years ago, he responded by saying, "They were stupid back then."
I do not subscribe to the myth of a “golden age”, and I certainly do not accept this ironic view of history that some people here seem to imply.
We are the same creatures we were tens of thousands of years ago. We may have collectively managed to alter our physical circumstances through technology, but we’re still the same species of hairless ape.
Evolution is dependent on environmental change (stress) and isolation of groups of organisms. Our species is experiencing the exact opposite of these conditions.
We are not evolving; we are stagnating.
