Are you implying that deaf people only give birth to deaf children?
- Dylan16807 2y agoI don't see how "repopulate the earth" implies that.
- Jerrrry 2y agoIt implies that - or that all deaf people will spawn non-scamming progeny simultaneously, coincidentally as the non-deaf get selected against by lethal scamming simultaneously (then all scam themselves).
- Dylan16807 2y ago1. Why "simultaneously"? You could have all the hearing die over 10 years, and the deaf can work on repopulation over the following decades (and arguably those time periods can overlap too). 2. The scenario is that the deaf will repopulate, not that they will specifically repopulate with "non-scamming progeny".
- denkmoon 2y agoI can see hereditary deafness giving an evolutionary advantage of not having to listen to the noise inflicted on our world, so why not.
- yencabulator 2y agoIt's See (2019) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7949218/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7949218/) but different & opposite. Almost everyone is deaf and the society has adjusted. Rare few people are gifted with the ability to hear and are now better fighters because they can hear the others accidentally making loud noises.
