Does anyone think there is a limit to our evolution or change? Is it possible for us to hit a plateau? Maybe our evolution is a massive bell graph; we progress, hit our pinnacle, and fall back down, inevitably to rise again.
Baraka, do you think adaptation and evolution are different? I believe they are the same, if you adapt to a change in your environment and you like where that led you, you will stay there. Evolution is the same way, we just can't control it (yet).
On another point you made, you said you have become more aware because of news, movies, and literature. But how much of the population takes advantage of these knowledge outlets? We all watch movies, but do we actually gain anything from them besides "that movie was great"? To gain knowledge of what you've read or seen, you must think about it. When I read, whether it be a novel or newspaper, I stop to think about what I just read rather than only seeing words on paper. This is something I fear the majority of people aren't doing. We're becoming the "mindless mass", taking in information at an extraordinary level but not retaining or thinking about it.
