The Fitness-beats-truth theorem raises various interesting philosophical problems that have so far received only very limited attention. In my presentation I will focus on three: the notion of veridicality (What notion of veridical representation is presupposed when it is argued that the probability that our model represents the world in a veridical manner is practically zero?), the status of mathematics (Why should we assume that unlike our perceptual representations, our mathematical representations faithfully represent the world as it is?), and the problem of self-refutation (Does the Fitness-beats-truth theorem undermine the very resources required for establishing it?).
