Adaptation: something that is modified to suit new conditions or needs.
Are there superadapters? Something like supertasters? If there is genetic variation in taste, and sweetness is not objective–sour, neither–what can be made of variations in capacities for attachment–and detachment? One person’s sociopath is another’s twin? Last night at work someone told me that supertasting was a) very 90’s and b) actually a disorder rather than a skill. The same thing could surely be said for superadapters, but that’s so easy.
