@hbdchick @PoisonAero It's an extinct adaptation. And I thought we'd already shelved the disease thing. (Is cancer not pathological?)
@Outsideness no such term as, or concept of, pathological maladaptation. but, like i said, if it catches on, we can submit it to OED. (~_^)

@hbdchick@Outsideness Maladaptation = pathological adaptation, e.g., learning wrong lessons from experience, e.g., dogmatic universalism. -
@HobbesianM no. a mismatched trait is *not* a "pathological maladaptation." it is a mismatched trait. -
@hbdchick "pathological maladaptation" is not a phrase I used. Dogmatic universalism is not a "mismatched trait"; it's a mistake. -
@hbdchick Not that universalism is a bad idea; being too dogmatic about it is, as in modern PC-ness. I don't think that was ever adaptive. -
@HobbesianM well, i think it was, 2-3+ hundred years ago or so in nw europe. (not 1000 years ago. didn't exist yet then.)

@hbdchick There's no such term, because it's too close to a tautology. Non-pathological maladaptations likely don't exist.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
