The mind is getting better, while the quality of the actual experience diminishes.
Let me elaborate.
We're getting better at predicting, survival, information. While the *thinking* part is actually getting faster and more developed, the connectedness and the affinity with the world is diminishing. we're thinking more "about" things, from "the stands", and are wrapped up in our opinions. But we're loosing out on the actual quality of life, on the being present and in the moment.
The sad thing is that it really doesn't make us happy. We can suck up way more information, like a sponge, but what does it really help us?
