Though, isn't being part of a group the closest you can get in terms of relatedness?

Medical terms being used as an insult is a very specific (and problematic) case. And they also weren't turned into their own opposite. They were equalized with stupidity.

The worst part about that is, game theory is an actual field of math. You know, an ACTUAL theory.

Ach so, meintest du die deutsche Aussprache von "ch"? Sorry, ich bin zu sehr die Hepburn-Transkription gewohnt. ^^

I accept it in colloquial discourse. I'm not happy about it, and I will smartass at everyone who isn't asking, but I accept that I'm probably fighting a losing battle. But in science, it's absolutely non-negotiable for words to mean what they mean, and not their own opposite.

I don't think money should be an incentive at all, in the long run.

Not in person, no. But I've had biology profs say that something was "just a theory".

"kochi" wäre "コチ". Das ist zum einen "chi" statt "hi", und die Längungszeichen fehlen.

Both egoism and altruism are human nature. We are capable of both (for the most part). Currently, we have a socioeconomic system that rewards and encourages primarily the former. Why not try it the other way and see where that brings us?

I work at a large airport this summer. What is this "fully staffed" you're talking about, and where can I get it?

Normally, I'm all for language changing over time. If some word is used a certain way, so beit. But not here. Not in a case where people can end up saying dumb shit like "Evolution is just a theory." I will physically fight people on that, If need be.

Niemals.
