" Although it makes sense that natural selection would not favor a truthful perception of reality, this is not the fundamental reason we can’t perceive reality as it truly is. The inaccessibility of the noumenon is principled, no matter what evolution does."
I love that point - "the inaccessibility of the noumenon"
This is very important work. It would be good to see videos - brief ones - making this point. I'm in a coffee shop in Asheville listening to a conversation about AI, one in which there seems to be little understanding that AI is NOT akin to human intelligence.
I guess for the same reason so many fall in love with Hoffman's theory. They seem to not understand that idealism has nothing to do with natural selection.
This, especially, is important:
