That's word games -- the hypothesis of anthropogenic global warming isn't really in question, but there is large, suppressed dissent about scale and import.
It's like planetary dysgenesis through Malthusian relaxation in that way, but for some reason more fashionable to talk about.
... The scientifically-uncontroversial accelerating biological deterioration of the human species would have made a nice counter-point footnote in Pinker's book, actually, but he somehow managed to resist adding it.
I've never seen concrete proof fron you guys that humanity is deteriorating. Just hand waving irrational pessimism. Also weird that you love capitalism; the thing that causes relaxation
Why on earth would anyone assume that disabling an editing function would lead predictably to a higher error rate?
You're putting words in my mouth. Seriously. Steel man, don't straw man. It's amateurish. Also. Capitalism is the thing that disables the editing function. So why do you love it? And again I ask, where's the proof of decay?
James Thompson is probably the best gateway into the dysgenics literature. The data is out there is you're interested.
... And serious Capitalism (as defined by the Ricardian Iron Law of Wages) isn't dysgenic in the slightest.
Nothing is the true anything, which is why everything is the true something Democracy = capitalism in rent seeking
