This may seem tangential but please bear with me:
We don’t see reality as it truly is. What we perceive is not what actually is, but what is useful for our survival at our scale.

this dude's ideas blew my mind a while back.
Made me think hard about the difference between Truth and Fitness.
Have since decided that seeking Fitness > seeking Truth.
No one really knows what the Truth is. The "unbiased, 3rd party view from nowhere" is a myth.
Seeking Truth above all usually leads to disaster or death.
But seek Fitness and you almost always get closer to the Truth, whatever that might be.
Seek truth only when you can afford it
Of the EM spectrum, your eyes evolved sensitivity to just 0.0035% of it.
You are literally blind to the rest of it.
You can do the same with the audio spectrum and your ears, same with chemical spectrum and your nose.
Humans only have about 0.01% of the information about our immediate reality.
That signal is enough to survive.
99.99% of reality is invisible to your senses.
This intelligent compression is the sort of embodied innate intelligence that would be a prerequisite for any AGI.
It took nature 500,000,000 years and 10^40 organisms to complete the same search.
There’s a lot more going on at the lower levels of the pyramid than people realise.
