While we should be evolving as a species there seems to be a definite resistance to thinking people, people that those who do not want to think, seem to have an issue with.

Pascal didn't feel; he only half was.

Or arguably less-than-half was.

Don't be putting Des Carte before De Horse.

@SnowyOwl Bingo. Pascal wagered. Descartes half was.

I firmly believe that as a species we reached peak evolution a couple of decades ago, sometime around the end of the 20th century. Sadly, we appear now to be going into reverse evolution…or regression.

Is it our 'species' or our culture? Cultures evolve as well. I just made a post about a loong report in the Atlantic which compared our age to the age of the building of the tower of Babel. Don't know if you can get this but it's worth a read (just not before bedtime).

Technically, we (or anything else) isn't necessarily evolving at all. Evolution isn't a destination its simply survival of those that can best adapt. The majority of humans live fairly comfortable lives so unless some new environmental challenge occurs we may not do any further evolution. Sharks, for example, haven't changed much in many millions of years because they're perfectly adapted to their environment.

@Matias H. sapiens? S - L - O - W!

Compare with viruses and more.
