When I'm feeling optimistic about human evolution, it means I'm looking forward happily to our extinction. That's about as optimistic as it gets. After all, we're an arrogant and benighted species that just can't get enough. We're here not 200,000 years and we're doing our best to wreck the entire planet. Could humans change? Anything's possible, but I see no sign of it.

Yes, it's interesting about the butterfly effect, and yet we tend to be blind to the fact that the things we do are seriously changing things everywhere.
