To the (mostly social) extent that concepts were useful to your ancestors, one is going to lead to better decisions than the other, and so you should expect to have evolved the latter intuition. (You trust two friends, and then one of them tells you the other is lying- you feel some consternation of the first kind, but then you start trying to figure out which one is trustworthy.)
It seems a lot of intuitions all humans are supposed to have were overwritten by noise at some point...
This is for anyone in the LessWrong community who has made at least some effort to read the sequences and follow along, but is still confused on some point, and is perhaps feeling a bit embarrassed. Here, newbies and not-so-newbies are free to ask very basic but still relevant questions with the understanding that the answers are probably somewhere in the sequences. Similarly, LessWrong tends to presume a rather high threshold for understanding science and technology. Relevant questions in those areas are welcome as well. Anyone who chooses to respond should respectfully guide the questioner to a helpful resource, and questioners should be appropriately grateful. Good faith should be presumed on both sides, unless and until it is shown to be absent. If a questioner is not sure whether a question is relevant, ask it, and also ask if it's relevant.
