Agree with all of that except your last sentence.
I believe sociopathy is the next stage in human evolution.
I think we're there, with a hefty assist from technology.

Yes Science says agnosticism is the only answer.
My view is there is some design. And it makes me wonder about a creator. I don't know anything of course. Or think anyone else should agree with me.
I don't believe in a creator, for various reasons, but I find religion a fascinating thing and I loved RE at school and its one reason I wanted to study sociology. Tribes in primitive areas of the world with no contact with humans have been found to have the basis of a religious belief and a GHod, which many say is a strong argument for there being a GHod, but I see it the other way, I think its a testament to the brain power of the human race and that even in primitive locations, human brains can think "why" and "who" enough for their brains to form this idea of a higher being rather than their being one.
The sheer volume of beliefs and gods that people believe in makes me believe strongly that the idea of GHod is a human thought process rather than a reality in the same way that humans have created stories, books, characters that have made their way into peoples minds through history.
There are definitely football gods. It's not even a debate.
That makes other types of gods very plausible![]()
That wouldn't be an evolution, it would be an accentuation of existing characteristics moving them closer back to the start of human evolution (probably pre and early homosapien level).Agree with all of that except your last sentence.

Suffering, oppression and unease are what characterise Dystopia, so we definitely can compare.I am not sure I agree. I think in terms of a dystopia it's very real in the sense of how different our lives are from any age before. The scale of suffering might have changed but the amount of us on the planet has increased so much thst measuring current quality of life vs pervious eras is hard to do. Dunno. Good discussion
So so true....I accept that I know less at my current age than I ever thought I would. That is because I thought I knew more about everything beforehand.
Many people imagine evolution to be linear, like the branches on a tree. In fact, it's far more like the messy tangles on a bush.That wouldn't be an evolution, it would be an accentuation of existing characteristics moving them closer back to the start of human evolution (probably pre and early homosapien level).
I think Neurodiversity is the a stage of human evolution. Although I don't think either ND or Sociopathy are the next stage - they are already present, they are just masked by the societal Norms We've created.
The principles that underpin those two areas are likely to become the next stage of cultural divergence though.
Completely agree.Many people imagine evolution to be linear, like the branches on a tree. In fact, it's far more like the messy tangles on a bush.
Not all beneficial characteristics are selected and not all undesirable ones are filtered.
The timespan that modern humans have been around for is incredibly small in evolutionary terms. If we're around long enough, plenty of characteristics will return and some will be successful ones.
Just because humans had a trait and then didn't, it doesn't make it a bad one.
The answer is staring you in the face.Why do you think Sociopathy is the next stage?
If true it will also be the last stage of our evolution.Why do you think Sociopathy is the next stage?
I don't, but I understand why. He's got a peculiar demeanor. I enjoy listening to his explanation of topics I don't really understand, though.I find that guy very creepy
