JJ Jerome will join us on board the good ship SS Tomorrow to discuss the concept of the second human evolution
Evolution is no longer moving forward in first-world countries due to the absence of survival pressures. Physical and mental capabilities are declining, with the average adult in America being 11 kilogrammes heavier and losing one point of IQ every decade. The alpha male concept still exists, with the far right being attracted to this ancient model. Social media has given everyone a voice, amplifying extremists and creating a divide between truth and falsehood. The future of AI raises ethical questions, such as whether AI should have equal rights or be treated as a class of slaves. The decline in population in first-world countries and the rise of AI may change how humans live, with virtual worlds, AI avatars, and a decrease in physical attractiveness becoming less critical.
