Sure doesn't, but we do observe a relationship between the two in organisms (and machines) that depend upon the utility of their perceptions for survival or function. More accurate perceptions are..very often, the more useful ones. I'm sure we can find the reverse to be true in some scenario, for some species, ofc. Probably even somewhere in ourselves. If the effect of an accurate perception might be crippling...then the utility of self deception immediately presents itself.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
