AI synopsis

What people are saying

Overall, the discussions reflect a high level of interest in the relationship between evolution and perception, with many citing scientific papers like 'Natural selection and veridical perceptions' and philosophical ideas such as idealism and Kantian distinctions. Words like 'remarkable,' 'proves,' and references to technical papers, contribute to the tone of serious inquiry and debate around scientific and philosophical impacts, reinforcing a consensus that perception may be more about survival than truth.

AgreementModerate agreement

Many discussions support the idea that evolution favors perceptions that help us survive, even if they don't show us the objective truth, indicating overall agreement with the publication's premise.

InterestHigh interest

The conversations are highly engaging, with multiple users delving into philosophical implications and scientific evidence, showing strong interest.

EngagementHigh engagement

Comments include references to scientific papers, philosophical theories, and debates on perception's role, demonstrating deep engagement.

ImpactModerate impact

Seeing the truth will make you extinct. This is a remarkable consequence of the theory of evolution by natural selection. For those who want mathematical details, here is a paper. https://t.co/CqTjibJMWE

Evolution by natural selection favors sensory systems that completely hide the true structure of objective reality, and simply guide adaptive action, much like a user interface. For technical details and a mathematical proof, see our new publication: https://t.co/CqTjibJMWE

Educate yourself and read these papers saying what I'm saying: 1- Natural selection and veridical perceptions 2- Does evolution favor true perceptions? 3- Fitness beats truth in the evolution of perception Atheists don't science

@tinyklaus Kant was right. We don't percieve reality as it is but as we need to 4 effective fucking, fighting, feeding and fleeing. It's possible that "a shadow biome" exists, especially if it exists in such a way so as to be unimportant 2us. https://t.co/VNhKPY9HqJ https://t.co/YYTNUgpjUc

@BernardoKastrup #Nature has a thing with #fractals. #Idealism fits this pattern. The worlds of our dreams are mental. The Phenomenal world (space-time-M-E) IS a mental representation of Neumenon. So it's only natural that #Neumenon itself is mental too. https://t.co/lIuese6AwC https://t.co/clo63grFMm

@SpeedWatkins Now do #Idealism. At the very least, #Kant was right about the distinction between #Neumenon & #Phenomenon. The phenomenal world is a mental construct. It's more likely that the Neomenon is likewise mental in nature. https://t.co/VNhKPY9HqJ https://t.co/lIuese6AwC

The work of @donalddhoffman & Karl Friston demonstrate that #Kant was right: there IS a difference between Phenomenon (the world as it is percieved) & Neumenon (the world as it really is).

Educate yourself and read these papers saying what I'm saying: 1- Natural selection and veridical perceptions 2- Does evolution favor true perceptions? 3- Fitness beats truth in the evolution of perception Atheists don't science

@DepresdHumanist @AtheismMyths @JannahsForever @helpusOlord @JTax14 Check Donald Huffman's work & his co-authors. He argues reliability of our perception hasn't been favored by evolution. Check these papers 1-Natural selection and veridical perceptions 2- Does evolution favor true perceptions? 3- Fitness beats truth in the evolution of perception
