For example evolution does not select for organisms that treat themselves the best. Instead it tends to select for whatever traits that tend to be passed down to future generations regardless of whether such traits are beneficial to those having it. For example the genes of male praying mantises that preserve their lives instead of voluntarily submitting to brutal cannibalism are gradually removed, causing almost all male praying mantises to be essentially suicidal.
Similarly due to group-level selection societies tend to cause individuals to be selectively stupid, namely they want individuals to be knowledgeable enough to serve a society and not sufficiently knowledgeable that they rebel against it. Anti-intellectualism is often a result of people trying to make each other selectively stupid in order to take advantage of them.

You're right. We need transhumanism to fix them.

Firstly your understanding of how evolution works is faulty at best. Secondly are you agreeing with yourself?

It's more like a balanced selection. Intelligence and knowledge strengthen the net ability of any tribe while reducing its social unity. When people are too dumb and too ignorant they tend to get conquered due to lack of ability. When people are too smart and too knowledgeable they tend to get conquered due to lack of unity.
I hope that scientific development will perpetually keep the high-unity low-knowledge mobs in check.

Why would anyone want to have sex with humans at all if robots can provide whatever humans can provide plus much more? That's a superstimulus.
