What If We're Wrong About Reality? w/Donald Hoffman

Published: Aug. 28, 2018, midnight

This podcast will melt your brain, which could be OK because neurons are just symbolic representations of a deeper reality according to our guest, Professor Donald Hoffman.\nIn this wide-ranging discussion we talk about visual perception (and ALL perception) as a construction, rather than a reconstruction, and we dive into free will, synesthesia, split brain experiments, consciousness as the fundamental currency of reality, simulation theory, "conscious realism" as a theory, and much more.\nTo quote Neo from the Matrix: \u201cWHOA.\u201d\nFull transcript: http://zdoggmd.com/incident-report-179/\nVideo show archive, audio podcasts, music parodies, Supporter Tribe membership options, merch, social media, and email contact form:\xa0https://lnk.bio/zdoggmd\nSupport us with a 1-time donation and get a personal email response from me:\xa0paypal.me/zdoggmd\nMore about Dr. Z:\xa0zdoggmd.com/about-z\nLearn more about your ad choices.
