gollark: You're just assuming something is symmetric because you... have examples of values on both sides?
gollark: Don't do that, it's actually bad.
gollark: (I do not know enough population genetics to say and I'd be handwavily guessing half the parameters anyway)
gollark: But a reasonable argument against that argument is that we have different goals to evolution, our environment is different, and possibly it wouldn't be a big enough fitness advantage for stuff to actually happen.
gollark: I think a reasonable argument against is that if it was beneficial for the brain to have a slightly higher "learning rate" often it would just evolve to do that anyway.
