Read my other posts in this thread before making exspansive comments on my understanding.
Its clear that I understand that evolution opperates with in populations not individuals. Perhaps you are unaware that a population can die - its also called extinction. I was making it simple though because Drasca seems to have a bad time with definitions.
Also my insulting someone has no bearing on whether or not I am right. If you choose to think it does - I wont stop you. however.
And as to you implying I am a ludite - read closer before you rush to the side of down trodden here.
I made no values judgments on technology. I specifically mentioned the effects on biological evolution serveral places.
The one point I didnt disagree with Drasca on was that if you are willing to view "cyborgs" as evolution beyond simple biology then evolution is working fine. If however you feel the biological aspect of humanity is important then we may be in trouble.
This is also in lie with the only real substance in your post.
PS - try harder if you want to flame me.
