@Ylecun perpetuates false dichotomy here, between nature & nurture, without presenting data. Is there any evidence primates have fewer innate priors than mountain goats? Any proof that more innate priors actually entails less adaptivity? Better priors can yield *better* learning.https://twitter.com/ylecun/status/1180171721481113602 …

Exactly. Interestingly enough there are "priors" that might hold true for diff 'species'. There's research on evolutionary principles focused on anole lizards on the Caribbean islands, that shows, that priors can evolve within a very short time period. That's the lizards, though.
is there any evidence (aside from prejudice) that humans have fewer priors than lizards? surely our genomes specify a ton about our brains, and have more differentiate genes for doing so

No evidence, I assume. An interesting topic, though. It always depends on the learning history of the 'species'.
