Well hold up with the "if"s. It's always an "if" that leads to "lulz". I'd say that we need to know the actual truth of very very little in order to survide. But we "need" to know a great many "functional" truths in order to survive. Isn't that precisely the problem? The functional truth is whats likely to be common knowledge (judging by the state of "common knowledge"), not any actual truth. If actual truth (whatever that may be) had some way of being common knowledge with any regularity one would wonder why we had to develop all these goddamned systems to determine it.
"Don't go into the swamp because a goblin will eat you" is just as effective as "Dont go into the swamp because the atmosphere is toxic" from a standpoint of survival.
