Could it be explained in terms of abstract vs concrete? I've heard that we humans can reason about concrete things like beer etter than abstract concepts like numbers and colors? (I know that age is also a number, but is has more assigned meaning)
- mlajtos 3y agoI think it could as dealing with concrete things is a direct evolutionary advantage grounded in reality. Usually, we are shit dealing with abstract concepts. A quote that beautifully demonstrates this: "To deal with hyper-planes in 14-dimensional space, visualize a 3-D space and say 'fourteen' to yourself very loudly. Everybody does it." — Geoffrey Hinton
