Pay Attention Interviews: Donald Hoffman Conscious Realism: How Spacetime is Doomed, What Lies Ahead

In this three-part interview, Polly Young-Eisendrath, Ph.D. converses with scientist Donald Hoffman about the nature of his theory of Conscious Realism (that hypothesizes what lies beyond spacetime) and how it aligns with some ancient Buddhist teachings, as well as contemporary spiritual insights. Their encounter reveals new possibilities for a scientific spirituality that could be evaluated by scientific tools and testing.

PART ONE: The Hard Problem of Consciousness: “The Hard Problem” is the dilemma faced by neuroscientists, philosophers, and consumers of neuroscience: after decades of promising correlations between various neuronal and other brain functions with certain activities of consciousness (e.g. perceptions and voluntary actions), there is not even one promising testable hypothesis about how subjective experience emerges from matter.

PART TWO: Fitness Beats Truth (FBT Theorem)
PART THREE: Non-Dogmatic Scientific Spirituality and Inter-subjectivity
