Darwin's message..................

..................wasn't survival of the fittest, it was the survival of the most adaptable.  For a long while now, us pesky humans have had the ability to adapt to most everything.  Not sure why that won't continue.

     The human brain evolved in an environment that was local and linear.  Local, meaning most everything that we interacted with was less than a day's walk away.  Linear, meaning the rate of change was exceptionally slow.  Your great-great-great-grandfather's life was roughly the same as his great-great-grandson's life.  But now we live in a world that is global and exponential.  Global, meaning if it happens on the other side of the planet, we hear about it seconds later (and our computers hear about it only milliseconds later).  Exponential, meanwhile, refers to today's blitzkrieg speed of development.  Forget about the difference between generations, currently mere months can bring a revolution.  Yet our brain—which hasn't really had a hardware update in two hundred thousand years—wasn't designed for this scale or speed.
