Could we disprove the hypothesis of the Bayesian brain by putting a brain into a non-Bayesian environment and see if it could learn its structure? But if it did, would it not do so in a Bayesian way?
A world that systematically violates the predictions of a Bayesian reasoner. (Not sure, but intuition for two candidates: a fictional world that has structure but arbitrary logic imposed by the author, and a deterministic world that evolves to trick you based on your model.)

I agree, there is not much evidence that the universe is adversarial. I just noticed that there is a third class: a benevolent environment that adapts to your theories, because someone wants to be nice to you. Positive gaslighting.
