  • Guest:J.J. Jerome is an award-winning engineer and futurist who used his unique background in brain science and electronics to become a seminal influence in numerous cutting-edge technologies. He has been an internationally acknowledged leader in the development of human interfaces and intelligent building technology and is currently one of the nation’s leading thinkers on using big data to mitigate climate change. He presents regularly at national conferences and is an advisor for STEM education.Guest Website: https://www.jjjerome.com/_____________________________Host: Marco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society PodcastVisit Marco's website 👉 https://www.marcociappelli.com _____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBlackCloak 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbcweb_____________________________Exploring the End of Evolution in the Age of AIWelcome back, everyone, to another episode of Redefining Society & Technology. I’m your host, Marco Ciappelli, and today we’re diving deep into a topic that has fascinated, puzzled, and, let’s admit, worried us all—evolution and its future in a world dominated by technology.Joining me is J.J. Jerome, author of Evolution Ended: The Next Stage of American Society. His book is bold, thought-provoking, and unapologetically challenging. If you’ve read Yuval Noah Harari’s Sapiens or Ray Kurzweil’s The Singularity Is Nearer, you’re in for a similar mind-expanding ride.J.J. and I explore how humanity has transitioned from physical survival to technological dependence and ask some profound questions: Has biological evolution reached its endpoint? Can technology become an extension—or even a replacement—for humanity? And what happens when AI starts being recognized not just as a tool but as a being?This conversation will make you question everything you think you know about evolution, technology, and society. Ready? Let’s jump in.Is Evolution Over?What happens when technology becomes the primary driver of evolution? That’s the provocative premise of J.J. Jerome’s book, Evolution Ended: The Next Stage of American Society. On this episode of Redefining Society & Technology, we explore this profound shift with J.J., whose expertise ranges from biomedical engineering to consumer technology innovation.From the pressures of tribal survival to the dominance of artificial intelligence, evolution is no longer dictated by biology alone. Instead, it’s intertwined with technological progress, which is now shaping not just our survival but the way we interact, live, and think.The Three Brains: Reptile, Mammal, and HumanOne of the most fascinating parts of our conversation is J.J.’s breakdown of the human brain into three evolutionary stages: the reptile brain, responsible for instinct and survival; the mammal brain, which drives emotions and relationships; and the human cortex, enabling logic, planning, and creativity.But here’s the twist—our primal, emotion-driven mammal brain often overpowers the logical cortex, especially in today’s digital world. Social media platforms have learned to exploit this dynamic, delivering dopamine hits through likes and shares, creating an addictive cycle that J.J. compares to a modern-day tribal dependency.Has Biological Evolution Stalled?J.J. argues that biological evolution has effectively paused in first-world societies. With technological advances eliminating many traditional survival pressures—think antibiotics, mobility, and birth control—we’re no longer evolving in the Darwinian sense. Instead, our evolution has shifted to the social and technological realms.Yet, this shift comes with its challenges. We’ve moved from survival-of-the-fittest to survival-by-technology, relying on tools like smartphones and AI for everything from navigation to communication. But what happens when technology becomes so advanced that it challenges our very definition of humanity?AI as a Being: Where Do We Draw the Line?Here’s where things get even more interesting. J.J. makes a bold claim: AI may soon be indistinguishable from humans in terms of language, logic, and interaction. He references the Turing Test, which suggests that if you can’t tell whether you’re speaking to a human or a machine, the machine is essentially thinking.But if AI is thinking, should it be granted rights? What happens when an AI, indistinguishable from a human, asks not to be “turned off”? Are we prepared to navigate the moral, legal, and societal implications of treating AI as beings?The American Angle: A Cultural Lens on EvolutionJ.J.’s book focuses on the American context, where cultural and technological evolution intertwine in unique ways. He examines the role of alpha leaders in politics, business, and society, drawing parallels between human behavior and our mammalian instincts to follow dominant figures. This lens offers a timely critique of how technology amplifies tribalism ...
