I agree that the wording could be better. What word would you replace "adaptive" and "maladaptive" with, so that they still put across the basic idea (traits that might have once been useful, but that we no longer want in this/future society, either for the individual, or for society as a whole)?
If you suggest something that works better, I will happily edit!
I see you mention "bad" and "unwanted". Would either of those terms be acceptable replacements?
It is indeed a hard word to replace. Perhaps optimal and suboptimal, because this is basically a value judgement? I'm not sure.
Or maybe throwing in some utility speak. That's always popular with the LW crowd. :)
Optimal and Suboptimal it is!
Thank you! Post edited :)
