Donald Hoffman: Reality Does NOT Exist!
#Neuroscience #Consciousness #DonaldHoffman
Cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman asks us the biggest question: do we experience the world as it really is ... or is reality an illusion? In this mind-blowing chat, he ponders how our minds construct reality for us. In his research to uncover the underlying secrets of human perception, Donald Hoffman has discovered important clues pointing to the subjective nature of reality.
Rather than as a set of absolute physical principles, reality is best understood as a set of phenomena our brain constructs to guide our behavior. To put it simply: we actively create everything we see, and there is no aspect of reality that does not depend on consciousness.
We think we perceive reality as it generally is, with maybe some slight distortions. But models based on Darwin's theory of natural selection suggest that our intuition is wrong.
Donald Hoffman and I discuss the fascinating notion that humans evolved to have the equivalent of a desktop interface that hides the real truth from us so that we can have agency. We discuss the nature of consciousness, free will, space-time, Nima Arkani-Hamed's ideas and more!
Hoffman is a faculty member at UC Irvine and a recipient of the Troland Award of the US National Academy of Sciences.
