Overdetection of differences

"We are the result of millions of years of survival programming - to read/sense our environment every second of every minute of every hour of every day of our lives - searching for signs of danger/predator/intruder and, if this cannot be resolved correctly, then we stay under tension (on the alert) prepared for fight, flight or freeze !! So, in the modern environment, we are under persistent tension."

jj often mention overdetection of differences. Overdetection of differences would appear to be helpful for survival. It can be expensive in choosing audio equipment and tweaks, though.

There is an amusing discussion of Burdan's donkey in J. Henri Fabre's chapter on caterpillars.
