Professor Donald Hoffman is a cognitive neuroscientist and the author of more than 90 scientific papers and three books, including Visual Intelligence and The Case Against Reality.
He is best known for his theory of consciousness, which combines evolutionary theory with mathematics to make a compelling case that the reality we see every day is an illusion created by our minds.
In this conversation, we explore:
— The groundbreaking scientific research being conducted by physicists into the “structures” beyond spacetime
— Donald’s theory of conscious agents
— The implications his theory of consciousness has for our understanding of the purpose of life
And more.
