But we’re not just surviving out here. We’re building rockets, designing smartphones, swapping out vital organs. It’s unlikely for all of that to be illusory and yet we have success at survival using the same epistemic tools we use to do all that. If survival has anything to do with reality, then all our other experiences probably correlate with reality too. We’re prone to errors, yes, but it’s unlikely we’re entirely deceived unless you’re willing to say that survival has nothing to do with reality. And if that’s the case, truth is of little value to us in the first place.The point is, there is no reason to assume that probably we have a reliable experience, if undesigned. We'd just know we have an experience generally favouring our survival.
