Why the World Isn’t What It Seems – Professor Donald Hoffman on Consciousness and Reality

from A New Way of Being

Don Hoffman is a cognitive scientist and author of The Case Against Reality. His central idea is bold: what we see isn’t reality — it’s a user interface. Evolution shaped us to survive, not to see the truth.If the world isn’t as it seems, what does that say about chasing status, possessions, or approval?
