#19 - Donald Hoffman + Singularity: Why Reality Is a Lie
Manage episode 412584521 series 2964063
** This is a partnership episode originally recorded in collaboration with Singularity **
This week we sit down with cognitive psychologist and long-time professor at UC Irvine, Donald Hoffman.
Hoffman has a long history working with some of the greatest minds in the history of humanity, including Francis Crick who was part of the team that discovered the double helix of DNA. His own endeavors are no less revolutionary, as he's currently spearheading a new theory that argues humans evolved a perception of reality that looks drastically different from the true appearance of objective reality. It seems a hard argument to make, but once you hear his ideas you'll understand how insightful and profound his work is. In addition to an in-depth exploration of this theory, we also discuss the evolutionary impacts of online dating, the future of artificial intelligence, and a whole bunch more.
