@Outsideness right. you *don't* tell him he's sick, 'cause he won't understand it, and it'll prolly only annoy him (to your detriment).
@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. -
@hbdchick Protip, never argue with a philosopher about the meaning of words. They'll beat you every time.@Outsideness -
@AliceTeller well, sure, if they do like humpty-dumpty and make up their own meanings for words. (~_^)@Outsideness -
@hbdchick@AliceTeller As evidenced by looking the damn things up in a dictionary?
