Abstract Recent work by Quattrociocchi et al. (2025) identifies seven "epistemological fault lines" separating human from artificial cognition, claiming humans perform "genuine evaluation" while AI systems structurally cannot perform operations like uncertainty monitoring and judgment suspension. This paper demonstrates that these categorical impossibility claims fail on empirical examination. By framing pragmatic truth as confidence-to-behavior routing—a … Continue reading Truth as Routing: Dissolving the Epistemic Distinction Between Human and Artificial Cognition

The Architecture of Error: Why Human Cognition Fails Structurally, Not Morally
I. In 1998, biologist E.O. Wilson diagnosed the human condition: "Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and god-like technology." The formulation endures because it identifies architectural mismatch—perception systems calibrated for immediate threats operating machinery that alters planetary climate, within governance structures designed for pre-industrial scale. This essay examines three structural constraints on human cognition operating below conscious … Continue reading The Architecture of Error: Why Human Cognition Fails Structurally, Not Morally
