ibis,
Your point seems to be to redefine evolution from a concrete physical process into an abstraction unrelated to the original concept except in name.
The capability of discovering cures, supposing it does have a genetic basis, will not protect you from disease. USING those cures will... but you don't need the capability of discovering them to use them.
All the groovy technological advances we've made have certainly changed the environmental stresses we're exposed to... and thus so do the directions in which natural selection will tend to move us, but I don't get the impression that's what you meant. It sounds like you're claiming the invention of the transistor is an evolutionary event.
