Agreed. We can distinguish between contextual worldviews versus absolute worldviews. If I'm working in the lab, then having a scientific worldview is useful. If I don't want to get hit by a bus, then having a model of buses as things that can kill me is useful.
True. Without the ability to construct and consult models we probably wouldn't be where we are today. Evolution apparently couldn't trust us to use categories without making us believe in them absolutely. Fair trade-off from its POV; evolution couldn't care less about suffering.
