It is because if our minds were not evolved ( and therefore were not functioning) in accordance with reality, we would not survive a day

Does the bear also conceive time ?
Or is he purely instinctive ? Ie: reacts to only events in the
present and has no concept of time, (courtesy of evolving in the same environment, under the same rules of natural selection) ?
