Donald Hoffman, Cognitive Psychologist and Science Author, has proposed a theory of consciousness that challenges your everyday assumptions about what reality is. His argument is that our perceptions of cause and effect and what we experience in the physical world isn\u2019t as real as you\u2019d like to think.\nThe metaphor of the virtual headset he uses in these conversations with Tom explains why our experiences are limited and there are things like freewill that we never truly experience. If that\u2019s not heavy enough for you, Hoffman bring mathematical equations into the picture to explain that all consciousness is mathematically structured.\nThis episode is a complete crash course into the world of Donald Hoffman and the illusion of space, time and reality.
