In a sense it is correct, though. Evolution and natural selection are always occuring, so you're right about that, and you're also correct that selection pressure don't effect mutation rates (although they certainly effect whether mutations are eliminated from a population). Even in the absence of ecological limiting factors or high mortality rates, selection can still occur. In such cases, the selection effects are primarily driven by differential reproduction rather than differential fitness. So even if everyone has all their needs met and all the resources they could desire, selection still continues to act - albeit as a result of differences in fertility and number of offspring, rather than a result of dying prematurely.

That being said, Dutton's argument is also kind of correct for three reasons:

(1) We have the fundamental theorem of natural selection which says that the rate of change in fitness in a population is proportion to the mean variation in fitness. This implies that a population with less variability in fitness will actually evolve at a slower rate. Relating this specifically back to human evolution, this implies that if all of our needs are met, we have simple easy live, and most people reach a relatively comparable level of achievement (what in socioeconomic contexts we might describe as something like "equity"), then the variance in fitness in such a population will likely be relatively small - few people are extremely unfit. In these circumstances, such a population would indeed evolve at a slower rate. That's not really speculation or opinion - just an immediate consequence of Fisher's fundamental theorem: a population with less variance in fitness will evolve at a slower rate. However, that still leaves open the question of how much "equity" or variance the human population really exhibits. . .

>>16129160
(Continued from >>16134114)

(2) Dutton's argument could be stated somewhat more pedantically. Selection and evolution never stop occuring, and in fact selection is actually what drive the "mutants" to take over on Dutton's account. In particular, if a population is provided with a limitless supply of any resources they might want, then this can select for individuals that have a higher fertility rates and for loss-of-function mutations. These are very common and important type of beneficial mutation that occurs when a particular phenotypic trait is no longer needed. The reason such mutations are beneficial is that maintaining a particular phenotypic trait often require energy and resources, so if the trait is no longer needed it will be beneficial to lose the trait. This is very common when organisms develop new diets, e.g. Vultures, for example have very strong stomach acid anddigestive enzymes because they eating rotting carcasses. If, however, vultures start consuming another less unsanitary food source, then they will quickly acquire mutations that prevent them from producing these concentrated stomach acids and enzymes, since doing so is a large metabolic burden. Such loss-of-function mutations are well-documented and well understood, and have played a crucial role in evolution and ecology throughout the history of life on earth (I can provide more details and citations if needed). A more accurate way to describe Dutton's model is therefore that it involves not the absense of evolution or selection, but rather individuals being selected for loss-of-function and higher fertility. . .

(3) Dutton's argument does NOT require an increase in mutation rates as you suggest. As you correctly point out, there is no reason to think that a change in selection pressure would produce a change in mutation rates. The mutation rate will stay the same. Rather, what changes is the probability that a given mutation persists indefinitely or even achieve fixation in the population. In the absence of selection, more mutants will survive to reproduce even if the mutation rate remains fixed.

Just to be clear, I don't actually endorse this sort of "weak men create bad times, bad times create strong men" narrative simply because we don't actually have any prior example of technologically advanced civilizations to look to for evidence. My point concerns the feasibility of the model and the relationship between mutation and selection, not whether the model provides an accurate description of some of the contemporary social, economic, and psychological problems that have arisen in 21st century society.

NOAA admits that CO2 is not a greenhouse gas and has no effect on the climate. According to NOAA:
>The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere today is comparable to around
>4.3 million years ago, when sea level was about 75 ft higher than today,
>the average temp was 7 degrees F higher than in pre-industrial times, &
>large forests occupied areas of the Arctic that are now tundra.
Which is to say that even though CO2 is the same now as it was 4.3 million years ago, the climate today is far, far different and much colder than it was 4.3 million years ago and this is because atmospheric CO2 levels have no effect or undetectably little effect on the Earth's climate. Its also worth noting that atmospheric CO2 levels have been substantially above where they have been in the recent past for over 100 years now and there has been no substantial change in the climate during that time, which only further proves NOAA's assertion that CO2 doesn't affect the Earth's climate and that CO2 is not a meaningful greenhouse gas.

Cherry blossoms bloom in Tokyo, 15 days later than last year, 5 days later than average

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/03/29/japan/society/cherry-blossoms-bloom-tokyo/

Cherry blossoms finally burst into bloom in Tokyo on Friday after heavy rain in the morning, marking the latest blooming in over a decade.
The declaration of the blooming made by the Meteorological Agency came 15 days later than last year and five days later than in an average year. Private forecasters had also expected this year's bloom to come much earlier.

Friday’s blooming is the latest in Tokyo since 2012, when cherry blossoms were declared to have blossomed on March 31, according to the agency.

Cherry blossom forecasting is big business in Japan. As early as in January, companies start to issue forecasts for when cherry blossoms will first bloom and reach their peak.

The weather agency, which began forecasting the annual bloom in 1955, sets a government standard for observing cherry blossom trees. For consistency, the meteorological agency only uses data gathered from the Somei-Yoshino variety, which produces pale pink blossoms.

Trump: "huh? Well, uh, first of all! I think we need somebody absolutely that we can trust, who is totally responsible; who really knows what he or she is doing. That is so powerful and so important. And one of the things that I'm frankly most proud of is that in 2003, 2004, I was totally against going into Iraq because you're going to destabilize the Middle East. I called it! I called it very strongly! And it was very important! But we have to be extremely vigilant and extremely careful when it comes to nuclear... Nuclear changes the whole ball game! Frankly, I would have said get out of Syria; get out -- if we didn't have the power of weaponry today. The power is so massive that we can't just leave areas that 50 years ago or 75 years ago we wouldn't care. It was hand-to-hand combat. The biggest problem this world has today is not President Obama with global warming, which is inconceivable, this is what he's saying! The biggest problem we have is nuclear -- nuclear proliferation and having some maniac, having some madman go out and get a nuclear weapon! That's in my opinion, that is the single biggest problem that our country faces right now. I think -- I think, for me, nuclear is just the power, the devastation is very important to me!"
