As such, our bodies will adapt to our environment. If we no longer need survival skills, we'll be getting weaker over time. On the flipside, we would probably also become smarter, as that is what most high paying jobs in this society require.
Wrong. The whole mechanism of evolution, natural selection works in that environmental pressures kill of parts of the population which have lower fitness, as a result they fail to reproduce and do not pass down their genes. While ones who gain favorable traits through genetic mutations will have a greater chance to reproduce and survive, thus passing down their traits and spreading it within the gene pool.
Due to our removal from environmental pressures, the only way we may evolve is based on who gets laid more, if an individual gains a trait from genetics that makes them unattractive to members of the opposite chance and they do not have a chance to reproduce, they will not pass down their genes. But I think the way human society is right now, there are no real clear genetic traits that will help you get laid and reproduce more...but even if it worked this way, we've pretty much removed ourselves from natural selection and into artificial selection since the factors that cause the direction of the change is artificial rather than natural.
