Evolution Designed Your Senses to Hide Reality | Donald Hoffman

Cognitive scientist and UC Irvine professor Donald Hoffman, author of The Case Against Reality, presents mathematical evidence from evolutionary game theory that the probability any organism has ever perceived reality as it truly is equals zero. Hoffman introduces the Trace Logic mathematical model of consciousness and argues that brains are perceptual interfaces rendered by a single universal consciousness, that spacetime falls apart at the Planck scale, and that consciousness, not neural activity, is the fundamental nature of reality.
