There is plenty of natural selection going on. A large amount of people will not have kids this decade due to anti-natalist propaganda and wars (Chiraq, Ukraine, Africa, etc.). Each time someone does not have a child, there is a future fractal effect of their decision which does not occur. Namely their kids won't have kids, etc., for all possible future generations. So in essence each couple that has more than two kids on average moving forward through the future has a massive impact on the future population. Also there are huge changes to the global genome composition as a result of mixed race breeding. It was much more rare before 1980. So nobody can claim that peak robustness has been reached unless you can specify some testable metric for it.
