Every an hero is a failed attempt at a human removed from the gene pool. As long as people die from doing dumb shit or just simply kill themselves because they can't handle the world, we'll evolve into smarter, more adaptable creatures.
Even if we prevent this weeding process, we'll still have sexual selection, which means the sexiest ones are likely to breed with the sexiest ones. What is generally regarded as sexy? Money, power, brains and good looks. But what of the poor, low-level, dumb uggos? Well, they seem to breed too, in fact, much more than the sexy bastards. Due to mutations, the sexies will have some ugly dumb kids and the uggos will have some sexy bright kids, and evolution gets stuck in place. I don't see anything short of genetic manipulation or eugenics changing this.
