RationalWiki's 2019 Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff – we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

If everyone seeing this today donates $5, we will meet our goal for 2019.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Donations so far: $2900Goal: $6000

Merge?[edit]

Evolutionarily stable strategy[edit]

What about the concept of the ESS, where people say "x has proven to be an ESS and therefore it can't be too bad or natural selection would've weeded it out." Men's Rights EXTREMIST (talk) 16:03, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

"Bad" in an ESS sense means "behavior which significantly reduces the number of children". "Bad" in a moral sense means "behavior which is objectively ungood". The two are not necessarily related, unless one equates "reduces children" to "ungood". FuzzyCatPotato of the Creationist Politicians (talk/stalk) 16:20, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
It's sort of relevant in that you can't have positive moral value in a world with no extant morally relevant entities, but not much beyond that point. 142.124.55.236 (talk) 16:53, 14 March 42016 AQD (UTC)
