Humans are detached from reality | Donald Hoffman and Lex Fridman

im too high for this.

I love conversations like this I wish I had friends into these topics .

I love that more and more scientists are focusing on consciousness as the fundamental aspect of the universe

I'm too dumb for this.

I absolutely adore conversations like this… This is what cultures should be discussing…

Science finally catching up to DMT

Finally an inteligent interviewer who knows how to ask the right questions and clarifications, fascinating.

I've wanted to hear people discuss all of this, and in this depth. Great talk

Imagine if humans where never born with eyes ever. We would go through life never knowing what we are missing. And try to explain sight to someone who's never seen anything. It's nearly impossible. I wonder if there's something like that now that we can't comprehend fully.

Humans are detached from reality. I totally felt that.

It blew my mind ! This seems like a radical idea, but if you think deep about it, it actually does make sense, we have evolved to perceive reality in a certain way.

I have been watching Lex Clips during breaks at work these days, it is refreshing to me.

Everything is an illusion until they get punched in the face

Self protection from trauma. Yeah, agree many are detached from reality as a way to cope.

Excited to see the practical application that result from these mental gymnastics. Even though we are detached it is what we have to work with.

Absolutely mind expanding, thank you.

I feel like this was almost in a foreign language but i can't stop listening. Thanks Lex!

Donald has one of my three favorite theories of everything! They all are basically theorizing the same thing: Cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman says our senses are a user interface, computer engineer and nuclear scientist Bernardo Kastrup calls it a dashboard, and physicist Thomas Campbell says the body is an avatar and we get a datastream. They all posit that consciousness is what is fundamental. Superfascinating stuff. I won’t be surprised if they find it’s all some kind of evolved holofractographic matrix type of thing.

Really interesting subject!

Love it I look forward to having a working understanding .
