Ars Technicast Experimental #8.1: Rob Reid and Don Hoffman, 1 of 3

from The Ars Technicast · host Ars Technica

Today’s guest is UC Irvine quantitative psychologist Don Hoffman. In today’s installment, he lays the foundation of this wildly contrarian worldview. An ardent Darwinist, Don argues that evolutionary forces will almost always favor perceptive systems that present a simplified, even dumbed-down take on reality. This is the start of a pretty wild ride, which I believe any curious mind will enjoy—even ones which fully reject Don’s perspective. Learn more about your ad choices.
