> an organism tuned to fitness might see small and large quantities of some resource as, say, red, to indicate low fitness, whereas they might see intermediate quantities as green, to indicate high fitness. Its perceptions will be tuned to fitness, but not to truth. It won’t see any distinction between small and large—it only sees red—even though such a distinction exists in reality.
But, what about the fact that, we, as human thinkers, are _aware_ that this is what's going on in our own perception?
Doesn't that give us an ability to both imagine a model of reality beyond our perception and also to test that model?
