I understand that, but I'd like to differentiate 'HBD' from many of the people that advocate 'HBD', as we would do between, for example, a theory and people that attempt to popularise the theory in public discourse. I hope that makes sense.
what do you mean by advocate hbd? like physicists advocate gravity? ???
oh. and human biodiversity isn't a theory. we know that individuals and pops differ biologically.
I disagree: I work in philosophy of science and my thesis is on this particular area, in fact. If you believe that HBD isn't a theory, then you are likely operating with a different use of the word 'theory' than I am (e.g. as 'nothing but an educated guess and with no support').
now that i've answered your questions, perhaps you would answer mine. what do you mean by human biodiversity being a theory?
It's a theoretical system (i.e. a Lakatosian 'hard core' with a set of auxiliary hypotheses and background knowledge) that, if treated as empirically predictive by an epistemic community, is classified as 'empirical; if not, then it is not classified as 'empirical'.
but it's not a theoretical system. the term simply describes a set of facts, i.e. that humans are biodiverse.
If it's not a theoretical system then there's no predictive content; what you're saying now (i.e. 'humans are biodiverse') is no different than a 'biologicised' variation of the indiscernibility of identicals: two things cannot share all the same properties.
In some sense, HBD is obviously a theory. But compare these two theories. 1) Multiple birds exist on earth 2) Anxiety is caused by amount of dopamine in the amygdala There's obviously a difference between them and HBDchick is maybe trying to point to that difference.
Some ways they differ: Is it a causal model? Does this model involve difficult to observe features of reality? How confident should we be in each model? How confident are you that the terms in each model refer to natural kinds?
