@Outsideness ...a *new* fitness problem. it would be like relocating penguins to the sahara. their adaptations wouldn't be... -

@Outsideness ...pathological. they'd just be no good in the middle of the desert. -
@hbdchick@Outsideness Altruism creates the desert. -
@PoisonAero yup.#IronyAlert (a strong, reciprocal altruism has in this case.) (@Outsideness see? now people are starting to understand!) -
@hbdchick@Outsideness that makes it pathological. But it isn't "altruism" anyway. It is a signaling tragedy of the commons. -
@PoisonAero no, that doesn't make it pathological. reciprocal altruism is an adaptation, not something cause by disease.@Outsideness -
@hbdchick@PoisonAero It's an extinct adaptation. And I thought we'd already shelved the disease thing. (Is cancer not pathological?) -
@Outsideness we can't shelve the disease thing if you keep using the word pathological. (~_^) most cancers prolly are in part pathological. - 3 more replies
