This reminds me of an Asimov short story about a genius who theorizes that the planets are like petri dishes and we are just test subjects being observed by higher life-forms. One of his reasons is that logically, us humans don't have much going for us in the way of evolution and we only are where we are because we've been selected for experimentation.
Some thoughts:
Survival of the fittest is determined mostly by physical features such as strength, speed, agility etc...
What puts us above other animals is (excluding our brains) we're bipedal and we have thumbs (letting us use advanced tools), just like many primates. Our advantage I suppose is that we have developed advanced communication.

How could a system like that exist. Wouldn't someone constantly be crashing it with thoughts of pron, feelings of inadequacy, cheese burgers or disturbing images? Look at the junk ratio of the internet allready and it's significantly held back by people having to physically imput everything.

It's incredibly stupid for us to think that possible but for those generations it would feel somewhat normal to pass and accept that patriot act.
Frankly, my biggest fear about the future is that the technological progress will happen way faster than the cultural one can.

Like people being on the internet or staring into a phone screen all the time instead of interacting with physical people in the same room?
