Part 2: The Case Against Reality with Professor Donald Hoffman, #33

This is part 2/2 of my fascinating talk with Donald Hoffman, a Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of California, Irvine. Do we see reality as it actually is? Have you ever wondered if what we see around us every day is actually...there? Is this actually the Matrix?!Buckle up and take your shrooms for this one...His TED talk "Do We See Reality?" has garnered over 3 million views and takes a dive off the deep end of the consciousness pool as it explores our place in the universe and our perceptions of our very own lives.Hear him explain and me attempt to understand how:1. Humans are not made to see the truth2. What reality actually looks and feels like3. Scientifically, are we truly capable of altering our realities since we are not perceiving the "real" one anyway?4.How we have evolved to be great at lying and deceiving ourselves and what to do about itPlease subscribe and leave me a review on iTunes if you enjoy the show!
