I think your right ghostiger, but this thing is too often used out of racist believes. (I'm not saying you do, but I want to state that I find it without sense to talk about it in the way you do)

If you would just look biologically a lot of the most succesful people in the world (in terms of power and wealth), are very weak, and would "not survive with the fittest".

All those fat managers and politicians etc. etc.

If there really would be a new kind of evolution which would favour the succesful, we would maybe go towards a society of people that are just very good in reaching succes in the modern kapitalist societies.

So the statement of "because of empathy we save people with "genetic problems" is not correct. Most of the succesful people (just like everybody else) are also genetically "challenged" so we keep people with "bad genes" alive, because we have bad genes ourselves and because we can. And on the other site of the world, also many people with "perfect genes" die every day, just because there are wars and there is no food.

You are mixing 2 isues and get a nonsense deduction.

Consider this points.

1 We have an uneven implentation of technology around the world, mostly do to random events and cultural norms of the last 2000 years.
The medical effects of this is an example of technology driving evolution rather than fitness.

2 The places in the world with the least technology are the those with the highest reproduction. In this sense technology/society is actually decreasing reproduction.

3 In any given society the poor and less successful reproduce at the highest rate on average

4 In given areas with homogenous technology the less biologically fit are surviving more than they used to, regarless of their position in society. The wealthy may surivive at the highest rate, but that has always been the case - in ancient times it was because they had enough food.





Technoloogy is making the the human species biologically weaker and it is not increaeing mental capacity as a trade off.
