most selection now is in terms of things like sexual selection and artificial changes that might be classified as eugenics
it's hard to think of random mutations that would increase survivability in modern society, like maybe increased tolerance to living as a brainless drone or increased ability to digest highly processed foods without getting cancer and dying
and if these did exist it feels more likely that they would be things we would impose ourselves through processes like gene editing before they managed to become widespread changes throughout the entire species affecting whole populations, as we have things like medical science and welfare programs artificially keeping sub-optimal people alive at the same time
in the longer scale, wider view of changes in life over time, it is a process of matter arranging itself in increasingly complex and intelligent ways, which culminated on our planet with the human species
the intelligence and organization of the human species allowed it to to begin applying that organization and complexity outside of itself to its environment as well, flattening the earth, building straight roads and cities, producing energy, arranging matter into computers, pulsing electricity through circuits to organize information
this is the universe continuing to organize itself in increasingly complex ways, the continuation of this process, by one way of reckoning
but that is just my thought
