There's an article somewhere, modern human is not smarter, and is slightly dumber. But changed from loner to group. Got some empathy, helps others. Got some other brain reward section for religious experiences, along with getting everyone to think the same way.
I forget the different names for the humanoid types. But its the white Europeans that mixed a little with the smarter types, most have about 2% show up in DNA. Along with getting all the upgrades, that aren't smarter, but more works well with others.
It's like a single core processor vs a multi core.
No single processor of the multi is as fast as a single. But together the multi is better.
No one person could create all the inventions for modern life. But working together with a lot of people with some knowledge makes modern society.
This is true. Now let's entertain for educational purposes, the idea of technology advancing to the point where one mind can actually build nearly everything and can advance beyond where this entire society would be, without similarly advanced methods.
Now if whoever gets those methods is the one who wins, this is entirely different scale and procedure that the previous levels, and we could have already lost the 'infinite' game without knowing it while someone else has the power to create every change you're noticing while reserving another kind of system for themselves.
Just putting it out there. Look around and you'll find more evidence and reason to entertain these ideas. Probably, out of context rather than a direct view, but they are there and people are talking. Elon Musks neuralink being a small link in a chain of inventions and technologies that change everything.
What if each society always gets to this point, and then eventually always gets to either that technology that can change everything in a beneficial way or destroy everyone permanently, and that is the true measure, not how many nogs this, or brain size that.
We do work together to invent that, but if someone else has control of something like that.
Then your talks of evolution are secondary and even arbitrary and inane if it is just a pixel of information under the thumb of a corporate giant that is controlling your dreams, your sub culture and even your come back argument without you knowing it.
This is effectivly domestication. Same effect seen in domesticated animals, dog vs wolves for example. Reverting to a more juvenile version, smaller brain and less aggressive.
Many link to agricultural revolution living in larger permanent settlements. But that would mean current hunter gatherers wern't affected. Seems like all modern humans have been so must have been way back.
EXACTLY.
The question is.
Can you remain undomesticated while still becoming civil?
Or do you have to become the one domesticating others, either way, in order to survive?
And how far along have the first domesticating 'achivers' gone, if we are in part, one of their experiments?
Also, OY VEY and STOP NOTICING and YOU CAN'T SAY THAT and THAT'S RACIST
Think about it. Does saying it's not happening make it any less obvious? Now? After all that effort was put into hiring complete factions of the military go online and spread dissonance and guilt trip people about suspecting things and noticing?
Looks like the religious leaders, politicians and super rich have been the domesticaters for a long time.
You are looking at the genetic experiment.
