I don't believe a "stable model of reality" is necessarily correct in terms of objective truth either. It's only correct enough such that we can make accurate predictions about the future. Take Newton for example. His models of reality were technically wrong at certain scales of reality - but they were correct enough for most applications of physics. Newtonian physics created a model of reality that was thus "stable" for over 200 years until challenged by new discoveries. > How? I don't see how this would solve anything in this situation. It's not a fight over resources... Our primitives brain is triggered to behave as if it is a fight over resources though. We are not perfectly rational.
