Outside pressures are often the driving forces of evolution, and affect everything engaged in a particular process. Dawkins talked about this, iirc.

Anyway, observing a thing changes it. There will always be latent effects. Maybe it's not about individual learning, but collective learning, with a nod to Dawkins.

    It would be great to think one day society would reward good people more often but we are still crawling to that goal

    Maybe humans will become extinct and the process will continue without us.

    What's your prediction for our successors? Aliens? AI bots? Apes? What if we are the aliens that succeded the previous race? That could explain why our sun is so damaging to us.

    I have no idea. We know what the sociopaths are working on singularity. We don't know the species will survive long enough. Maybe a bug? Maybe an extraterrestrial life form.

    Eta: I recently read an article about nematodes organizing themselves into a superstructure. Idk they can survive rapid climate change or not.
