#89 - Donald Hoffman: Conscious Agents, Space-Time & the Metaverse

My guest on today’s podcast is Donald Hoffman, a cognitive psychologist and popular science author, and a professor of Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, Irvine. Donald is probably best known for his TED Talk and popular Book, The Case Against Reality.  Many of you probably know that I’m deeply interested in understanding the nature of reality and its relationship with technology. In particular, my hunch is that we may be living in a simulation but there is so much more nuance to that hunch that I don’t want to just throw it out there that simply.  Perhaps it’s better if I say less and let you listen to this conversation with Donald Hoffman for yourself.
