Evolution and natural selection never stops, we’ve only changed what the selective pressures are.

True. I was thinking of the selective pressures of nature, but there are absolutely still self imposed selective forces acting on our species.

And even those self-imposed selective forces are ever-changing and vary quite wildly from context to context across the globe and across the socioeconomic spectrum. Modern human evolution is really fascinating.

Fascinating but terrifying to think that natural selection is probably now pushing humans to be good little office drones rather than survivors

I know how you mean it, but I would still consider civilisation part of nature. Like an anthill is part of nature even if it was “invented” by ants, etc
