re: #138 Thanos

The thing to really ponder isn’t so much how thinking evolved, I’ll leave that to the biologists and anthropologists, but rather how thinking will affect our future evolution.
Through science and reason we are now at a very important point. We’ve had the ability to affect our evolution a long time through the power of our reason (think how different we might be if we hadn’t figured out warm clothes for cold climes as just one for instance) but now we have the power not only to affect our evolution, but also to roughly direct our evolution. It’s scary but extremely exciting at the same time.

What I also find amazing is how much we’ve advanced in just the past couple hundred years. What finally “clicked” to make our current society work so well compared to just a couple hundred years ago.
