  1. The entire premise for this 'Big Think' is false!  There never was and never can be any controversy between Truth and Reality! Only perceived reality can deviate temporarily from truth, and the error will be corrected once the established misconception causes discernible problems — although of course not by the established authorities of the epoch. It is also false to postulate "… we evolved to survive…" because evolution is not a one-sided, human affair: Whenever an organism evolves, it changes the environment of others and itself! This in turn triggers new, complex and surprising selection-processes on the propagated genes in all the affected organisms, sending cascades of change rippling through reality!  It is especially absurd and narrow-minded to assume that humans evolve without changing the environment; our footprints are everywhere. But more importantly: This realization shows that evolution is a secondary phenomenon to some primary process rarely mentioned by science… Now, what might that be?
