Get the mr panton mug.The proposition that cognition at every scale, from quantum to cosmic, is fundamentally confirmatory. A particle "chooses" a path that confirms its wavefunction; a cell metabolizes nutrients that confirm its viability; a species evolves traits that confirm its ecological niche; a star fuses elements that confirm its hydrostatic equilibrium. All are instances of systems processing information to reinforce their current state against perturbation. Cognition is not about representing the world accurately; it's about enacting a stable world that confirms the cognizer's existence.
Confirmation Bias Pancognition Example: Your immune system doesn't neutrally catalog all proteins; it aggressively confirms the identity of self-tissues and attacks non-confirming intruders. This is Confirmation Bias Pancognition at the biological level. Your brain's confirmation bias in reasoning is not a departure from biological norms; it's a direct inheritance from your immune cells, your neural pruning, your metabolic pathways. All cognition is immunological.
