>Conscious agents don’t exist in space and time, rather, space-time is something constructed by conscious agents in order to sort mathematical structures in a way not resembling underlying reality but rather, one favouring interactivity. Organisms with truth-based perceptions get outcompeted by organisms with fitness-based perceptions.

I really don't get this line of argument, whats the point? Pythagoras and Plato over 2000 years intuited mathematics and geometry as a universal-divine language that can be intuited/grasped by reason, and yet this seems to be adding extra steps to simultaneously deny this while upholding it in a round-about way. The entire enlightenment was a mistake that seems to go out of its way to disenchant and make everything nihilistic ontologically, epistemologically, and morally.

I went and decided to go GPT asking and apparently autism isn't as maladaptive as I thought Hoffmann would think, its really all "context dependent"

What is the 'underlying reality' then? Does it matter? 'Reality' is already a prejudice.
