Technological Singularity : Survival of the Smartest

In the mid 19^th century Charles Darwin proposed Survival of the Fittest in the evolution theory . Here I'm going to propose the theory of Survival for the most Intelligent or Smartest . In the near future only the most intelligent people would survive rest would be rejected not by the nature but by the Human race itself.

Human species , we believe is the most intelligent species in the history of Universe as no true evidence of any such life form has been found yet.We have evolved ourselves to the extent that one day we might be able to build machines smarter than ourselves , I am referring to our slow steps towards Technological Singularity .

If you notice machines have already started taking over us . Reason why thousands of employees are fired at young age every year by huge IT firms and other Multi National Corporations is that Computers and smart machines have taken the command over their work and are much more efficient than humans. From big companies to small offices automation is rapidly increasing . Drivers will lose jobs because cars one day would be self driven by computers , gradually Human interference would nullify in most of the service sectors. People with basic skills and knowledge would no longer be required by these huge IT firms . At a more upper level if humanoids become self learners , we won't require programmers to update new skills into the machine. So being good in  programming would not fetch you a high paid job either . According to a report over 10 Million jobs could be taken by computers and robots in UK. You could estimate the same for the world!

If that continues to be the scenario , and you wish to seek a job and survive you have to be smarter than the most advanced computer available at that time or should acquire skills that no machine could ever gain or learn even through the most advanced machine learning algorithms. In conclusion if you have to survive till the end of Technological Singularity in the post human era , you must be smarter than the smartest.
