@hbdchick@declamare If the entire population dies out, saying "but there was nothing remotely pathological about it" is pure scholasticism. -
@Outsideness nope. if the entire population dies out from the black death, you can call that pathological. if the population dies out... -
@Outsideness ...because it's no longer fit, we call that evolution. -
@hbdchick Sure, the weeding out of pathological maladaptation. Which is what we're seeing, and the only thing we will ever see. -
@Outsideness there's no such thing as a pathological maladaptation. you're confusing two concepts: infection and evolution. -
@hbdchick I'm not talking about infection. Pathology is to do with biologically-rooted syndromes, not disease. (E.g. "psychopath".) -
@Outsideness again, that's not what pathology means. psychopathy is not a pathological condition. just the tail end of behavioral traits. - 3 more replies
