"Macroevolution is eternal growth" - what is this supposed to mean? Beehives keep growing infinitely, civilizations always advance? Forget previous civilization collapses, remember we're in the middle of the sixth mass extinction. As for "eternal", that's a bold claim to make for all the eternity that hasn't happened yet.
I can just as easily say you're handwaving away the pessimism based on precedent. Precedent holds, right up until it doesn't.
- corbulo 4y ago>Beehives keep growing infinitely, civilizations always advance? No, it means there are always adaptations. I defined what it means. The precedent is what has evidence. Your pessimism doesn't have evidence to support inhabitable conditions within a few decades unless we initiate an authoritarian world government to control all growth and control the climate. The burden of proof is on you, not me.
