Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 1

Welcome to another incredible episode of Impact Theory, the podcast designed for people like you who are excited by new perspectives and thought-provoking conversations.

We're diving into another extraordinary conversation with Donald Hoffman, a renowned cognitive scientist and author, known for challenging our perception of reality.

In the first part of this powerful two-part series, we delve into Hoffman's groundbreaking theories, as he explores the 'hacked' version of reality our brains present us with.

This conversation isn't just thought-provoking; it's life-changing. Ever wondered if we're living in a simulation? Or questioned the true potential of AI and its consciousness? Hoffman addresses these riveting concepts and more.

But why does any of this matter? It's simple. Hoffman's insights can help you see the world from a radically different perspective, inspiring you to question your assumptions and rethink your understanding of reality. This isn't just about theoretical musings - it's about empowering you to explore new realms of self-awareness and understanding.
