The Evolutionary Advancement Argument:
We live in a world that’s constantly changing. The human species has already adapted over millennia to different climates and challenges, but as climate change accelerates, it’s clear that our current biological capabilities might not be enough to survive the coming future.

Enter the concept of evolutionary acceleration. By exposing the youngest, most resilient members of our society to extreme conditions—such as extreme heat—we could trigger a rapid evolutionary response that would ensure future generations are better equipped to handle increasingly inhospitable environments.

Here’s how it works:

Survival of the Fittest (and the Toughest): If a child can survive being left in a hot car, that child would likely possess genetic traits that allow them to withstand extreme heat and dehydration. These traits would be passed down to future generations, creating a population more resilient to climate extremes. Natural selection would reward those who can endure the heat—tougher kids today, stronger humans tomorrow.

Accelerated Adaptation: Evolution, although slow in terms of generations, can be sped up under extreme selective pressure. By creating a scenario where only the hardiest children survive, we could effectively fast-track the human race's adaptation to extreme temperatures. Think of it as a "survival boot camp" for the human species, where only the strongest (and most heat-resistant) children are selected for future reproduction.

Future Climate Resilience: As global temperatures rise, it's crucial for humanity to evolve to survive in increasingly harsh conditions. By starting with children, we ensure that the next generation will be hardwired to withstand extreme heat, drought, and dehydration. Imagine a future where humans can thrive in the hottest deserts, or even on Mars. These kids could become the first true pioneers of human adaptation to inhospitable environments.

Long-Term Gains: While the short-term effects of leaving children in hot cars would clearly be controversial, the long-term benefits could be enormous. We could create a superhuman race capable of surviving in extreme conditions without the need for advanced technology or infrastructure. Essentially, we're talking about a post-apocalyptic superbreed of humanity that can handle the worst the planet throws at us—whether it's heat, cold, or even a lack of water.
