> We were meant to get stronger, learn, fuck and pass to those traits on so humanity can evolve.

Which we are doing if you look at it from the bigger scale. I think of different cells which were stronger individually but then evolved to form a multi cellular organism losing their individuality and each cell losing one of their strengths. Meanwhile the organism is strong, complex with a lot of specialties.

Capitalism is ripping us of our individuality because it is not efficient.

Actually multi celled organisms are weak af

I meant the second strong as in one which is more efficient and is able to survive in different environments than a single cell would have.

Yeah but they cant do what we can. They are evolved and have adapted to their niche, and if changes occur they undergo slow process of evolution. We the humans may not be as resilient. We have outpaced the need for evolution, we adapt our environment for us rather than the other way around.

That was my point, we may be weaker as individuals but as a species? we are the strongest and are only getting stronger. Although our civilization wont progress at some point in future because it came at the expense of our nature :{.

Yeah collapse of civilization is not the end of it, Humanity wont end it. If we collapse we will rise again maybe it will take 1000s of years. I am talking at the time scale of millions of years of evolution. We have risen out of harsher climate than what's coming.

We've already mined all of the easy stuff to build this advanced civilization. It's not going to be so easy to do it a second time without the "low hanging fruit" available.

What the fuck are you talking about? Haha

Individuality and abstract thinking created every single piece of technology we have. Abstract thinking's brought fire out of the wildness into a home for heat. Individuality brought electricity.

Capitalism? Capitalism brought mass genocide, religion, famine, and slave labor. All capitalism has done is exploit advancement for money. Do you realize how much further along we'd be if the $2 trillion dollars every year we spend on bombing each other was put towards fusion energy or ai?

Calm down I was just giving an analogy like you were.

I was saying if you look at the global scare, we are getting stronger, we are learning and adapting at a pace never seen before and we are passing on the genes, genes which would have died out before now can survive and contribute to humanity.

I disagree with your assertion that individuality brought technology. It was the communication and humans' way of co-ordinating together to adapt and pass on the information. We survived literally because of our community and social relationships not because of individuality.

I never denied capitalism did not do that, and I am not sure why you mentioned it since majority of comment barely mentioned capitalism.
