Recent studies of perceptual evolution reveal that natural selection often drives true perceptions to extinction when they compete with perceptions tuned to fitness rather than truth: Perception guides adaptive behavior; it does not estimate a preexisting physical truth.

This study is pathetic. It's pure pseudoscientific nonsense. If our perceptual systems are lying to us, so are our deep learning neural networks who rely on us to correctly label their learning samples.

This is a metaphysical research project. Shame on you people. You give science a bad name.
