Reality is absolutely orthogonal to our values, which makes any coincidence between the two extremely suspicious.
>Reality is absolutely orthogonal to our values...
what? that's nonsense. Not everybody's values are the same, for one thing. Especially as society has become more and more international.
You should be equally skeptical of any result until proper evidence is presented and verified. Values should have no bearing either way on empirical truth-claims.
