Humankind is currently at a crossroads of evolution, and yes, it was a start and stop road to get here. Since the onset of the technology revolution, we have changed the form of evolution from a natural selection based on environment controlling our direction, to one in which we can control the environment and thus evolution. It seems to me that it will come to this one general question:
Are we smart enough to guide these next steps into something productive, or will we continue to focus on the destructive nature of our species?
The answer to this will decide our fate in the long run.
