—“We have limited cognitive information processing capacity: shall we optimize for fitness or shall we optimize for truth?”— Herbert Vogelsang
he presupposition there is that truth and fitness are not identically competitive propositions.
I think, instead, that men are unequal and we must use the tools of cognition availble to each. If men are subhuman we must understand that they can only comprehend framing for the subhuman. If men are transcendent from the beast and fully human, then they can comprehend framing by the truth.
So what your question implies (besides an unnecessary dichotomy) is whether we should choose the least common denominator, or as I recommend, choose the hightest possibleddenominator and heremly humor and manage those that remain.
