Caldrail,
While I agree that what you are saying is true, I feel there is more to people. Survival of the fittest sure is a factor and in the past the creatures which had things too easy tended to not adapt in order to be ready for the next challenge.
Humans are much more complex and capable than the rest of the life on this planet, as we know. I am convinced that characterstics inside people have developed to a level of taking a sub-life form of their own. It's a realization of individual traits that are so sophisticated that they are a sub-intelligence in their own right. For example, we can get the weather report watching television while we talk with somebody on the phone. If we lack a skill, then we may learn it to make a living. This flexibility comes from our complexity, wouldn't you agree?
Is it possible that we have reached such a level of development that our survival as individuals depends on our diversity? Perhaps that diversity itself is creating challenges to adapt. In a complicated world, I feel that the demand to be smart is greater than ever because of the ever increasing numbers of changes and speed of change in the world.
Technology has created a new demand for intelligence, replacing the slowly fading challenges of the naked environment with a self - sustaining requirement for adaptability. The change in the world causes this to continue. As technology advances, we are required to be flexible in order to make a living which includes communication with other people.
Both mentally and physically, we are challenged to be able to cope. A space program, weather private or public, will help the need for more resources found beyond earth, utilization of talent, creation of work, and more room for an exploding population. I feel that everything is strongly or loosely connected.
Good things may yet happen, but something we have not even touched here is this: "Where there is a will, then there is a way."
