  • Scientist PROVES Why Reality Is “False". Donald Hoffman's Revolutionary Theory Challenges Our Perception of the World...
    In a groundbreaking departure from conventional wisdom, cognitive psychologist Donald Hoffman has put forth a radical theory that challenges our fundamental understanding of reality. According to Hoffman, our perception of the world is not an accurate representation of objective reality but rather a "user interface" designed by natural selection to guide our behavior and maximize fitness. In this article, we delve into Hoffman's groundbreaking insights and their implications for our understanding of consciousness, evolution, and the nature of existence.
    Donald Hoffman's Theory of Conscious Realism:
    Donald Hoffman, a professor of cognitive science at the University of California, Irvine, has spent decades researching perception, consciousness, and evolutionary psychology. His theory, known as "conscious realism," posits that the world we perceive through our senses is not an accurate depiction of objective reality but rather a simplified representation crafted by natural selection to aid in our survival and reproduction.
    According to Hoffman, our sensory perceptions-such as sight, sound, and touch-are akin to icons on a computer desktop, providing us with useful information for navigating our environment and interacting with other organisms. However, these perceptions do not necessarily correspond to the underlying reality of the world. Instead, they serve as a "virtual reality" interface that presents us with a manageable and actionable version of the world, tailored to our evolutionary needs.
    The Evolutionary Advantage of Perceptual Illusions:
    Hoffman argues that our perceptual systems have evolved to prioritize fitness over accuracy. In other words, it is more important for us to perceive the world in a way that enhances our chances of survival and reproduction than to perceive it as it truly is. As a result, our perceptions are shaped by evolutionary pressures, leading to perceptual illusions and biases that may not accurately reflect the objective reality of the world.
    For example, Hoffman uses the analogy of a computer desktop to illustrate his point. Just as the icons on our computer desktop serve as convenient shortcuts for accessing files and applications, our sensory perceptions serve as convenient shortcuts for interacting with the world. However, just as the icons on our desktop do not reveal the underlying code and circuitry of the computer, our perceptions do not reveal the underlying reality of the world.
    Implications for Consciousness and Evolution:
    Hoffman's theory has profound implications for our understanding of consciousness and evolution. If our perceptions are not an accurate representation of reality, then what is the true nature of consciousness? According to Hoffman, consciousness may be a fundamental aspect of reality itself, independent of our sensory perceptions. In other words, consciousness may not be an emergent property of the brain but rather a fundamental feature of the universe.
    Furthermore, Hoffman's theory challenges traditional notions of evolutionary theory, which assume that organisms evolve to perceive the world accurately. Instead, Hoffman argues that organisms evolve to perceive the world in a way that enhances their fitness, even if it means sacrificing accuracy. This has profound implications for our understanding of adaptation, speciation, and the nature of biological diversity.
    Do we see reality as it is, do we exist inside the story that the brain tells itself, are we living in a simulation? Those are some of life’s biggest philosophical questions, thankfully Cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman helps explain all of the above including the case against reality, the conscious agent theory, and if reality is “false”. I initially called Donald Hoffman after watching his Ted Talk “Do we see reality as it is?” to further discuss the simulation argument, is reality real, and if A.I. superintelligence can construct reality for us.
    Most of us are pretty certain that we see reality “as it is” but Donald Hoffman suggests that mathematical models based on evolution by natural selection suggest that our strongest intuitions may be false. Donald Hoffman believes that evolution gave us the equivalent of a computer interface that “hides” the real truth from us (ex: pixels, code, electrical voltages, etc) so that we can take action easily. We also covered the nature of consciousness, free will (Sam Harris), synesthesia, the issues with space-time, causality, the self (Jordan Peterson), A.I. (Lex Fridman), and much more.
    This was a mind-blowing talk and I tried to keep up the best I can, I hope you enjoy it!

    When I've had direct experience of reality some 6 years ago, there just was pure perceptions - just seeing, just hearing, without nobody who was seeing, no objectifications of what is seen or heard. I was seeing the trees glowing with light from within, everything was very bright as every moment seen with a fresh look. I then realised that what we see is not the real reality, and our true nature is what underlies everything we see as a world. We can experience total presence, in which there's no time, no subject-object, we experience directly awareness, our true nature.

    Don Hoffmans theory of concious realism is one of the most sophisticated hypothesis about conciousness at the moment. Space time is the aspect of interaction and interpretation but the basis of reality seems to be a constantly changing realm of infitnite different types of experiences into the unkown. Death is not an end - it is just to ensure a constant wonder in ones life. I would love to know how it is all ordered.

      That’s the trick. You get it when you say “how it is all ordered” I can say that, and offer an explanation that you seem to be seeking, because I implicitly understand what he shows in the computer models. In my first book 20 years ago I had a chapter on “going beyond our evolutionarily-limited world view” which assumed that people knew what Donald Hoffman shows. For example the narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum which humans can actually see was one of the examples I used which now is one that a lot of people use. It’s extremely important to understand how the brain works in order to fully transcend what “works” for mere survival-which is why I write that the theory of evolution is pretty much the “keys to the kingdom of heaven” in that regard-the key to transcendence of the “evolutionarily-limited” world-view. Religion speaks of transcending illusion, or things of this world. The idea of sin. All that stuff is what the “program” in your mind can follow and therefore blind you to higher meaning. I show in this regard that humanity is a transitional organism which absolutely was meant to take over its own evolution for just this reason, the blind forces of past evolutionary history cannot otherwise be transcended in a sustainable way. In other words we have no future without conscious careful evolution. We already UNCONSCIOUSLY self select in destructive ways that serve proximal purposes because we in majority don’t see the larger picture. Indeed the wages of sin is death, and global warming is only symbolic of the real issue which is not following the actual information laws of the universe I delineated in my 2 books 20 years apart-because they don’t think that language is any more than a human invention or that our kind of consciousness is the only kind. Stuff like that. I don’t know what else to say. I am a mutant. 😂 🤷‍♀️ Love Donald Hoffman’s stuff. I am extremely glad you liked it. Thanks 🙏🏻 If you want to know the higher structure and meaning to things I can definitely help. It has been my entire life’s work. It’s gratifying to see people learning these things. 🥰💡

    I have synesthesia and it didn't affect me in the daily life. When I was a kid it was much stronger and varied, it was quite odd trying to ask if other kids saw colors in numbers and letters and they had absolutely no idea of what I was talking about. I also see moving shapes and colors when listening to music, they're 2D but rotating and moving on a 2D plane like a drawing, definitely not like the example Hoffman gave. Every person has a color based on their name, I don't put any thought into it nor can I ignore it, it's all the brain doing on its own. It's definitely not a trip or a drug or a special power at all, just a mild curiosity at best in my case. I stopped trying to talk about it to other people a long, long time ago since a person that doesn't have it can't relate at all, they have no idea in the slightest and you feel like a fool trying to explain.

      The real you, is beyond anything you see, beyond an idea or imagining. The real I is what we are yearning for. We are incomprehensible. Some mystical describe our being as more of an energy system of swirling vibrating energy, and even that comes from a void of nothingness. We are undefinable being/knowing/awareness. If a body part were referenced we are the black void in the IRIS of every being in the cosmos.

      But then who created the interface, and how would they create such an interface without knowledge of senses? Did consciousness accidentally stumble upon senses? Do our senses naturally grow out of consciousness? Whatever the case, senses must exist in order to discover them or have knowledge of them. They must exist outside of the interface, because they had to exist before the interface in order to be incorporated into the interface. Or so it seems.

As Spira says “we are the Knowing which knows itself to Be”. This energy is overflowing with creative potential, in fact it can be called simply, creative energy. It is very easy for this system to develop a human world with its own senses. This whole experience was created, the story is that we came into this experience, when the truth is we created this experience, the world is in us, we are not in the world. The senses, biology, animals, politics, religions, aging, movies, sports, everything is a fiction. And You my brother, are the watcher NOT the doer.

      I might add, the Hindus believe the world to be a play or drama. “The world is a stage” as the saying goes. I know this to be true, it is not my assumption or something I heard or read, or a conclusion I developed, but this is my fact from a spiritual experience I had wherein as I watched my barn lights at night I realized and remembered this world is a stage and all its objects are props. It is cosmic entertainment. Sorry but the ego will be crushed at hearing this, and deep inside you there is an inkling of this truth. So readers may react aggressively, for your human form is an image only, like the last movie character you saw.

    The size (or presence) of the moon is not determined based on caloric expenditure. We're rendering the moon because it exists (in so far as current science tells us). Your question was: "why would we render the moon at all?" and he answered the question by talking about caloric distances. I'm not buying it. I appreciate he has done much more research on consciousness than I have, but if his theory can't answer basic questions, then the theory isn't holding up. Perhaps I'll try some of his other videos.

    Great episode, thank you for making/sharing it. As far as math goes, did humans create or discover it?...my answer: both. It is no different than time in that respect. There are sets of laws that exists, and mankind has just learned to 'label' them, in a means to understand them. So we did create AND discover it. We discovered there were constant vibrations and patterns in space and all around us and then we created a way to try and understand it, we call those math and time.

They should talk. Or maybe you should talk with Tom, to add to the topic of this being a virtual reality, and a scientific, logical model that also includes things like love and purpose beyond simply reproducing biologically. I may be able to help getting in touch with Tom, in case if you're interested. Thank you!

I assume we all know that when a person dies the brain gets left behind and the consciousness moves on, now if the Construction is done by the consciousness wouldn't it be safe to say that even when one dies and pass on to the next dimension the consciousness will once again construct a headset in the next dimension thereby obscuring reality once again.

    I think conspiracy theorists partially understood this and ran with it. From what I understand he is saying that the theory of natural selection says that all of our senses have evolved to the extent that, mathematically, they are 100% different from what they were in the past. Each one on its own. So previous humans might have been able to feel more detail on surfaces of objects, but now we feel less. Pair that with maybe we used to see objects in more detail (picked up different colours, etc) and we have a combination of the senses working so differently from then to now, that the same objects look and feel different to us now than they previously did. With the evolution of all 5 senses according to the theory of natural selection, keeping in mind whatever the mathematical rate of evolution is, he is saying that all the senses evolved so much that there is no chance that any of them receives stimuli in the same way as they did before. This is why he says there is a 0% chance that we perceive the world as we do now.
    He doesn't mean we are living in a simulation controlled by anyone, he means that our senses together with our brains, now receive their surroundings in a completely different way than they did in the past. Therefore we don't know what objective reality is.

    The problem with the simulation theory is that it's excess baggage. Per Shankara's Advaita Vedanta, everything (The Class of All sets), is Pure Consciousness, "In-Itself". This includes all simulations. Besides, there could be an infinite regress of simulations, one behind the other. We can transcend them all in the sate of nondual Awareness. No problem. Access "Mahamritunjaya mantra - Sacred Sounds Choir" and listen to it for 5 min per day for at least two weeks. The "false" part of existence is Maya, the notion that objects are independent of Pure Consciousness.

Does this mean that there is an unconscious mechanism in mating between some species where evolution is unconsciously halted in order to ultimately benefit the species because of the negative effects of mental illness?

      It is the same Consciousness that lives, moves and has Its being in and through YOU... 'as' the dreamstate character that lives, moves and has Its being within this Consciousness. It is All•One ... ALONE. Playing all the parts. This was an NDE experienced with all communication being subatomically telepathic. Not anything I ever believed or even thought about until it occurred. The VR headset is for navigating this 3D dream/realm.✨️

    Mathematics has to be a fundamental of conciousness.
    All numbers come into existence from the first concious observation of zero or nothing.
    The concept of zero creates a singular thing which creates number 1. This automatically continues to infinity.
    If conciousness exists then all numbers come into existence.
    That's relativity.

      I dont think that could be correct.
      Language is built from objective relativity.
      Numbers are fundamental as soon as more than one thing exists. Objectify one external thing,and two seperate things exist. One thing plus two things creates three things,all the way up too infinity.

    I've been up and down and all around this topic for yrs. I agree with his input and also see it slightly different. Our reality is a product of us being third dimensional beings coupled with a manipulating force but once we break through the program and see the true nature of our existence then we can begin to create our own reality and therefore what we perceive as our reality is our reality whether it may take on a different appearance we are unaware of it still is our reality

    The science of Consciousness goes back to the Buddha plus more refined philosophical analyses of Nargajuna (150-250), then on to the foremost advocate of Advaita Vedanta, (Shankara, 788-820). Advaita Vedanta states that the entire universe is Consciousness,, Brahman; and Shankara provided the means of tapping into and merging with IT in the state of Samadhi (Satori). No problem. Access the foremost Shiva mantra of the Rig Veda, (Mahamritunjaya mantra - Sacred Sounds Choir") and listen to it for 5 min per day for at least two weeks. Enjoy the Bliss.

    We exist in a Brain, which is consciousness. We exist there for any number of reasons. Which one, I'm not sure but there are two potential possibilities. Either we exist within the consciousness of our creator or god simply because it is superior to us or we are inferior to it. Alternatively we exist along the event horizon of a black hole. In both case we exist within a two dimensional reality. However, those who rule over us and maybe once upon a time we two existed in the 4th Dimension. A place where time no longer exists for it's occupants. Much like a book, for those in the 4th Dimension they can see and know the whole book or choose to go to any point within the book and become a part of the story without ever being part of the story. But for you and me, we are locked within the story living it out even if we can figure it out. Let's call it our penitence.
    We create reality as do those around us. Although I now believe that there are a limited number of us, the rest are simply Holographic images created to fill the void that exists within our world. We don't die, but simply return again and again, a sort of hell, for reality isn't what we think. We are prisoners of a greater consciousness or trapped within the Event Horizon of a Black Hole.
    Black Matter, exists within the 4th Dimension, it is like the blood within our brain and gives life to consciousness, our consciousness. This is our reality, we are prisoners. The Question is, is it of our own choosing or were we put here. If the Universe as we perceive it was coming to an end the place most likely to permit us to continue to exist would be a place where there is no time. Either in the 4th Dimension, which exists outside of time or on the Event Horizon where time also ceases to exist. But even if I am right it changes nothing and I remain a prisoner of this reality until freed. But as of yet, I remain here. The End. Good-Luck and Good-Bye !!!!

There are no actual “facts” or anything concrete. What about matter? Can we really conclude that it is real? What it comes down to is that reality is what I say it is according solely to how I perceive it.
