Deception isn’t the only reason to filter information, it’s just wasteful and redundant to constantly be transmitting the entirety of all of the input processes of an individual. If individuals are similar within a species to a certain point, they don’t all need to constantly be reporting to eachother all of the similarities. We also don’t only make use of our own consciousness or filter for language purposes, there’s a million different processes that exist subconsciously not because we’ve blocked them out but just because there’s no reason for our self to be aware of them.
