Has the Industrial Revolution slowed evolution or sped it up?

>> No.4707779

Evolution always runs at top speed.

>> No.4707789

It probably changed it's course, but didn't stop it, or speed it up.

The problem is that technology evolves much faster than we do, and our bodies won't be ready for it.
Studies revealed that if our brains can't handle all the information and it causes stress.
Now imagine 100 years forward.

>> No.4707855

>>4707789
Logical solution for this problem: start working towards replacing/improving our biological hardware with better synthetic hardware.
That's also a form of evolution, isn't it?

>> No.4707880

>>4707855
Yes, arificial or synthethic evolution.

Not a natural form of evolution, but rather an improvement or extension of it.
We only need our brains to be ready and get used to the prosethics and we're set to go.

First of all evolution 300 years....
2nd it has been theorized that the mixing of people will slow evolution down. For this hypothesis to be testable the same people said that we need to have the same level of mixing (or higher) than we have today for about 2 million years... So gl testing it.

There is no consensus whatsoever that this is due to evolution. (if u separate a small group of people and have them intermarry and they retain the traits of their common ancestors it's not evolution).

We can all agree that artificial evolution is better because it's faster, and it can fix what it fucks up.
Instead of deleting the failed experiment.

Imagine the world of mechanichae creatures, evolved by us.

>> No.4707958

Slowed. We dont really inbreed anymore so genetic variation is very small. We have no selective pressure from the environment either.

It also turned evolution in a bad direction. IQ and fertility are negatively correllated. Humanity is getting dumber, and fast.

Right. Biological systems are incredibly and most definitely the most complicated systems in the world. You're underestimating what bioengineering does, and how complicated integration to tech is.

Also, when was the last time you had enough steel to distribute to 100,000 or more people? Remember how that shit rusts, doesn't work in water, etc?

Are you refering to the susequential dumb down of the normal population because of the simplification of everything, the fact the we no longer need a lot of memory and that a calculator solves it for us?

But remember that who makes the calculator uses it to achieve better things.
Humanity hasn't evolved because we were all smart, it has evolved because there was a smarty-ass there and there.

Not only that , but what about things like sickle-cell anemia. We initially thought it was a horrible thing, but after we actually studied it, its basically immunity to malaria.

In life / evolution, there is no free lunch.

But those problems can be solved with a bit of investigation, not too much time according to evolution standards. What are 100 years compared to millions of years?

Of course that we yet don't know how our brain works at 100%, but how long utill we do?
And when we do, we're one step to implementing machines inside us.

The body has adapted to the environment after millions of years of try, hit and miss.
We can do that in a few years.

Technology IS evolution.

No. I am talking about people with lower IQs having more children than people with high IQs and countries where the mean IQ is high have much lower fertility rates than countries where the mean IQ is low.

Take the Japanese. They have made quite a few contributions to math and science. They build good cars, they are on the forefront of robotics ect.

In the year 2100 there will be less than 60 million Japnese. Their fertility rate is far under replacement levels.

Now take Nigeria. The Nigerians never have and never will contribute anything to to science or technology.

By the year 2100 there will be near a billion nigerians. They have a fertility rate that is 7fold japans.

I think he means that chicks don't give a fuck if you're smart and vice versa. People fuck based on looks and how well they can drink alcohol. in 10,000 years we'll have a race of people who are immune to alcohol... but that's all they'll be good at.

Smart wealthy people tend to have less children, so less people are born in an advantaged environment and less children are taught to value whatever traits their wealthy successful parents have.

People who mindless fuck tend to have more unwanted kids and they tend to require welfare. Poor people are cancer, kill them.

Intelligent women never get pregnant because they know its extremely unpleasant and they usually have important careers and shit.

Its a very serious problem. Demographics are easy to predict.

In Japan the government pays for daycare and pays for the hospital visit for the birth and everything. They simply cannot get people to have children. The aging population places huge strain on the economy and it is also incredibly dysgenic for humanity.

Stop being retarded it now seems pretty clear that that world population will stabilize at around 10 -12 billion. As poorer countries improve education and healthcare their children per family go from the 5-8 range into the 2-3 range.

The tech level is fine. We need a larger pool of high IQ people so that more geniuses can arise to increase the level of technology. If the world was comprized solely of black we wouldnt have any technology at all.

>> No.4708200

It's possible that this is the part of the cycle of technology.

example: IBM makes advances in computing technology and then Apple comes along to pretty it all up and make it 'ergonomic.'

Perhaps we have had too many advances in technology for the last 100 years and now we need to make it all trendy and gay and shit and then integrate it into our lives before we can advance again?

Thanks Apple, you ruined evolution, too. Faggots.

But there may be a cure for this, and that is biological immortality. Choose it, or let western civilization die and taken over by sandniggers who take world back to the stone age.

That's what happened when civilization reached to a point where individuals have the possibilities for much grander goals other than the old 'get married, have children, provide for your family, die', and many decide they choose those grander goals. Put it short, people now have the chance to live for themselves, and only for themselves, if they wish.
