Moderation Questions
The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic fa
you seem to care a great deal. unfortunately, it is not my job to teach you to read.
Bad read. I do enjoy trolling dumbasses and pointing out their dumbassery though, so you're quite the treasure trove for me.
That is unfortunate, it would have given you a great opportunity to learn that particular skill yourself.
And I’m not sure what you mean by “fixing the problem”. Incels are natural selection. If you can’t adapt to a world where you actually have to attract women instead of forcing them to be with you, then the problem is you and you should not be bred with under any circumstances. That’s just evolution at work.
No, that's Social Darwinism, which is reactionary pseudoscience, historically employed to reinforce whatever the status quo happens to be at the time. Evolution works simply by random genetic mutations which occasionally in certain circumstances result in organisms more likely to produce greater numbers of fertile offspring which survive to produce offspring of their own. Evolution tends to be arrested in highly successful populations because the survival imperative disappears. Western societies, with the low birthrate that generally results from prosperity, are certainly not advancing human evolution, which has been effectively arrested for a very long time because the current model is 'just good enough to get by'.
Oh look, the usual experts have arrived 😀
Tell me, daddy, how does science work?

"Thats not evolution, its a reactionary pseudoscience subset of evolution"

This is a godawful description of how evolution works at an elementary level, FWIW. The "survival imperative" doesn't disappear.
For real, how come the calipers squad can't even get the basics right?

If civilization continues mostly as it has for the last several thousand years, how do you think humans are likely to evolve, and what are the pressures which will lead to that?

Evolutionary pressure doesn't disappear just because an organism is well-adapted to its environment. How humans will evolve in the future, I have nfi, but I'm sure Kelhus has all kind of exciting theories about that.
When considering human evolution its usually best to go with your gut

We're going to interfere with our genes etc and wete going to augment. People can argue whether this counts
As incels came I remind you of chezlaws 7th law - there will be sex robots
Condescending pricks are an unfortunate part of life and are often condescending to everyone.
This is the internet and everyone is some kind of admired expert in their chosen field with decades of managing large teams and no one but no one is a sad little man in a grubby room addicted to posting ludicrous political extremism.
Apart from Luciom.

Nope social darwinism is thinking "it is good" if the current societal arrangement selects against some specific genes.
Evolution isn't arrested in highly successful population. What is arrested is fitness improvement because they are already close to the current environmental asymptote.
You happen to describe mutations as the core of evolution. They are relevant, and very occasionally they determine large shifts in the population (see milk digestion in humans, our last evolution in the sense you mean it).
But evolution is also about promoting different competing genes already existing in the populace.
Like high IQ rewards are higher than ever currently. In the past very often you were better off selecting a healthy but stupid sexual partner. Nowadays because of various reasons, high IQ low health and low physical dexterity/strength individuals can be very successful (resource wise).
Evolution is also when those sets of traits increase in the gene pool as a percentage of total because circumstances have changed. It doesn't require novel pro fitness mutations necessarily to bring about a large shift in the genetic pool.
Crossnerd is right more than she maybe realizes when she said now it's about convincing women not taking them by strength.
Cunning sociopaths have their best time ever in current society, physically very strong and imposing men have far less success than they historically had.

Not survival rather reproduction. If you survive but don't reproduce it's identical to you dying in the womb for evolutionary purposes.
Evolution still works all the times though , you are correct at that.

You need to model future plausible scenarios to put that question on the table, otherwise your question is more about how do you see society in the future than an evolutionary question

Not identical. Siblings/uncles etc can have as much influence as the more classical grandparent
Of course I’m right but ALSO I’m very entertained 😀

Yes yes a living relative can be pro fitness for approximate genetic relatives true I was trying to simplify the thing (because it can also be a cost, think the drunk addict uncle and the mother struggling to help him AND her children)
Do you think men today are selected "better" for what you morally agree with than say 2 centuries ago, at becoming fathers, in the USA?
Is the trait selection in favor of the kind of men that end up impregnating women more agreeable to your values than it was back then?
