One From The Vault - A Case Against Reality with Donald Hoffman - Episode 16

In this episode of RISE UP WITH DRAGON, we have a very special interview in my opinion one of the most intelligent and intreaguing speakers and educators of our time. Professor Donald Hoffman, Author of A Case Against Reality and cognitive psychologist at UC Irvine. In this episode, Dragon and Donald dive deep into the case against reality, what our purpose iss as humans, if any. As well as some thought provoking conversations regarding how evolution and natural selection in no way has positioned us to be capable of perceiving reality in its true form.
