Imagine we could see beyond our visible spectrum. γ waves, radiowaves, everything. Would it be good,or would it just distract you? Of course we can find circumstances where it is good
Yes I agree (eg we could x-ray ourselves. Would be cool). Much of reality is noise. Eg I dont need to see the atoms of my computer.
Circumstances that could be critical for your survival. But a feature that is not used becomes a bug in evolutionary terms.
Resistent bacteria loose their resistance genes once you remove the antibiotic.
So what I meant is we filter out real noise.
In the beetle eg, the beetles already filter out most of the world. Those that evolve to differentiate females from bottles (ie more truly seeing reality) would survive.
In the models he makes in his articles there is a high cost for information. Under this condition blindly choosing environments can make something more competitive.
It seems you're more into the theme, let me know what you think.
lol just like hearing what other people think.
From what I can tell there is no hint or suggestion about what the reality (bits not the hard drive) actually is, just that it could exist.
From his desktop eg, even seeing the world with more detail (ie seeing the pixels of an icon on the desktop) is not still not seeing reality (bits of info on hard drive).
The argument of the speaker is (I think) even this link to reality *can be* selected against.
But saying “circumstances that could be critical for your survival” is just a phase for reality, right?
