Show Notes

In his current scientific investigations, Donald Hoffman proposes that the fundamental building blocks of reality are not particles or atoms but conscious entities. He also advocates for a radical shift in our understanding of evolution, suggesting it has shaped our perception to prioritize survival rather than truth. This thought-provoking perspective challenges our beliefs about reality and the nature of consciousness itself

What do you believe about consciousness? Do you think it “comes from your brain”? Perhaps you’re aware that there is no scientific evidence that consciousness arises from a material source, like a brain. In this podcast, Polly and Mike dive into a complex conversation with scientist and seeker Donald Hoffman who is an American cognitive scientist and psychologist, as well as a popular science writer. He is a professor of Cognitive Sciences, Philosophy and Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine.
