Description:
In this conversation with the brilliant Dr. Donald Hoffman, we question whether space-time and the world we experience with our senses is fundamental or merely a shallow projection of something deeper.
In this conversation with the brilliant Dr. Donald Hoffman, we question whether space-time and the world we experience with our senses is fundamental or merely a shallow projection of something deeper.
Drawing on Plato’s cave, physics, cognitive science, mystical traditions, quantum theory, and Hoffman’s own framework of conscious agents, we explore the possibility that reality emerges from consciousness rather than the other way around. Don also shares what could be a mind blowing breakthrough in his theory.
What is reality? Will science ever find a final theory of everything? Are we locked inside a simulation designed for survival, not truth? If consciousness transcends space-time, what does that imply about our potential, our perception, our purpose and our fate as beings? We riff on all of this and more in this mind meld.
