Prolegomena of the Evolutionary Rational Epistemology
The evolutionary limitations of inductive and/or naive rational thinking prevent the mind from adapting to the continuously multiplicative results of social evolution. The combination of self-confidence and hypertrophied trust in speculative inductive conclusions played a significant role in the spread of absurd and often antisocial, anti-evolutionary and aggressive collectivist doctrines leading to numerous victims of military and internal conflicts. This same “confusion from the abundance of perspectives and contexts” without understanding their evolutionary nature is the source of the emergence, preservation and iterative increase of less dangerous, but not harmless, esoteric “discourses” and teachings of various kinds, especially in the social sciences.
