Fitness can be seen as a phenotype trait, i.e. the kind of phenotype that will produce the most offspring. Of course that is dependent on the environment, but it is worth noting that the kind of adaptation you mentioned can also happen epigenetically or by other means. Basically organisms can have some adpatability built into their genotype.
People don't understand that fitness is related purely to the number of viable offspring, which isn't a useful indicator of a person's virtue. Anyways Social Darwinism is idiotic and a wonderful example of the appeal to nature fallacy. We've surpassed evolution for fuck's sake, if we want to progress as a society we need to educate people.
In evolutionary biology, fitness is defined as reproductive success, aka the number of viable, reproducing offspring
The idea itself isn't wrong, the fittest individuals (those who have the most offspring) are always those whose genetic material will be best represented in the next generations. Kin Selection Theory just includes the fact that even selfish and thus fitter individuals which are helped by altruistic ones usually carry some altruistic genes which they propagate.
Death to fascism, freedom to the people!
Omg that thing looks gorgeous, it's a shame the company is owned by bezos
Biology isn't even relevant here, we've surpassed evolution, there is absolutely no reason why someone shouldn't change their gender if they want to. Apart from that, I find it hilarious how confident conservatives are about this, the situation isn't that simple, there are a number of naturally present aneuploidies including the sex chromosomes. Even in the usual XX and XY variants, parts of the Y chromosome are homologous to X and the expression of sex-specific genes is modulated by epigenetic factors. In practice the concentrations of the sex hormones are not on/off and can vary fluidly. With these simplifications, you are just displaying your ignorance of biology.
It's under your profile > personalization > memory, but I think it's off by default
I guess I'm not very original, but Meshuggah just beats everything else for me lately, Future Breed Machine or pretty much the entirety of ObZen (though Bleed is overrated and possibly the worst song on the album apart from Pravus), I think it's something about how the vocals interact with the riffing, though I'm not sure this is exactly the kind of heaviness you mean...
Otherwise maybe check out Flood by Boris, that has some massive riffs (Flood III is where the shit goes down if you don't feel like listening to the whole thing)
Huh, that's interesting, reading the wikipedia page, it didn't even seem that terrible, I don't really understand how "effective altruism" and "hyper-utilitarianism" can lead you to that
Yeah, I did not know that existed...
I meant that our goals aren't aligned with the evolutionary "goal" of maximizing the number of offspring anymore. We are still deeply driven by evolved instincts, but we should recognize them as needs that our biology requires to be satisfied in order to achieve happiness, rather than goals in themselves. Of course we are still part of the biosphere and subject to evolution, but that evolution isn't significant on our timescale or meaningful (in the sense that by our criteria of good people, we won't evolve to be better). If we want to improve as a species, we should focus on a different, memetic, kind of evolution, passing knowledge and ideas instead of genetic material.
