Well, it could be a problem if we are aiming for human happiness. If there is natural selection going on here, then it would be pushing the people to actually become less able to think for ourselves in terms of creative solutions. Sort of like how bird species on islands sometimes lose the ability to fly.

If that is the case, it may be really hard for us to actually reverse our destructive trend against the natural world and then we are really in trouble.
