The topic on which I am doing some serious rethinking is whether evolution, as we understand it, has come to a halt. Let me explain with an example. Consider the moon landings. According to official records, in 1969 the United States successfully landed on the moon. Over the next few years, multiple successful missions followed, all by the US, and thensilence.  What’s puzzling is this: despite the intense space race between the US and the Soviet Union, the USSR never attempted to replicate the moon landings.  Fast forward 50 years, with all the advances in science and technology, and we’re still struggling to get boots on the lunar ground. By now, shouldn’t we have built thriving lunar colonies? So, what’s going on? Is there something more to the story, or have we become less capable over time? Could evolution be reversing, at least intellectually? Given how much time we spend… Some serious rethinking
