> Brains are adaptive.

They are, but you go on to assume that they will adapt in a good way.

Bodies are adaptive too. That didn't work out well for a lot of people when their environment changed to be sedentary.

Yes, that's like saying I'm not weak, just my muscles are adapted to the couch.

  • Weak is relative. All humans are weak compared to an elephant and strong compared to a mouse. If strength stops being a competitive advantage in humans then weakness isn't a signal that determines outcomes.
