In the book "The Elephant in the Brain", there's an interesting observation that increased lying and politicking was necessary selection pressure for increased human intelligence.

Similarly, I wonder if our increasingly low-trust, hyperconnected society will cause us to adapt (evolutionarily) in new and interesting ways. Obviously, all of this happens way faster than we evolve, and we'll need better tooling or cultural norms to deal with this stuff.
