Is reality an illusion? Dr. Donald Hoffman EP 387
Is reality an illusion? Dr. Donald Hoffman EP 387
Dr Jordan B Peterson and cognitive neuroscientist Dr Donald Hoffman discuss what we call reality, why space-time is now considered a "doomed" framework, and how consciousness can be understood as a vast space of probability in which we orient ourselves.

Hoffman earned a Bachelor of Arts in quantitative psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles, and then a Doctor of Philosophy in computational psychology at MIT. He worked briefly as a research scientist at MIT's Artificial Intelligence Lab, before taking on the role of assistant professor at the University of California, Irvine. He is now a professor in the cognitive sciences department. He has written four books (below), on the themes of human vision, perception, consciousness and the effects/reasons of evolution on each of them. He is also a leading proponent of Multimodal User Interface (MUI) theory, which states that "perceptual experiences do not match or approximate the properties of the objective world, but rather provide a simplified, user-specific user interface." the species, with this world. » Hoffman argues that conscious beings did not evolve to perceive the world as it actually is, but evolved to perceive the world in a way that maximizes "fitness rewards".
