Video Description:
We are not evolved to be as rational and sane as possible. Tot he contrary! We have evolved to conjure up in our minds a virtual reality that should correspond to underlyong physical reality to the degree that it is beneficial FOR OUR GENES to do so.
Our models of reality do not necessarily conform to underlying reality to the extent that we'd have ourselves believe.
Us Vs. Them thinking, and the pains of cold water are two examples of where our models of reality are more beneficial for our genes when they don't necessarily align completely with said underlying reality.
Check out the video for more.
P.S The one effective way we humans have managed to develop for understanding underlying reality to the degree that we can is the scientific method. Observe, hypothesise, see predictions, test predictions, confirm or falsify hypothesis. Simple as. This is the best method to reduce our biases and see underlying reality AS BEST WE CAN, with all our all-too-human flaws and shortcomings.
What a beautiful world.
The tunes! Blackbird by the Beatles. And Saudade by Maro.
