It\u2019s pretty normal that you think of reality being the world around us, the tangible things you see and interact with. You probably even include and make space for how your emotions influence perception and tie that into what creates your reality.\nDonald Hoffman is joining Tom for another mind-bending episode to challenge if we\u2019re actually living in a false reality. Donald Hoffman is a cognitive scientist that has argued against reality and the limitations of spacetime.\nSome questions being posed in this episode that will stretch your beyond your limits are:\n\nWhat is beyond spacetime?\n\nWhat is the true structure of objective reality?\n\nIs it possible evolution has shaped us in a way that guides our behaviors and therefore how we see objective reality?\n\nHis idea of comparing our current reality to that of living in a virtual headset is being taken to the next few levels up and exploring the strategies we use to survive the game of life.\nCheck out Donald Hoffman\u2019s latest book, The Case Against Reality, Why Evolution Hid The Truth From Our Eyes here: https://www.amazon.com/Case-Against-Reality-Evolution-Truth/dp/0393254690\nDon\u2019t miss Donald\u2019s last conversation on Why Reality Is All A Lie: https://youtu.be/Ehz89eV5JR4\n\nFollow Donald Hoffman:\nWebsite:http://www.cogsci.uci.edu/~ddhoff/\nEmail: ddhoff@uci.edu\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/donalddhoffman\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/donalddhoffman/\n\nAttain Your Potential - Download the FREE Impact 90 Challenge Start Pack: http://bit.ly/3WY0LLs\nClick here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL\n\nSponsors:\nThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
