What he says is, throughout our evolution, we have evolved to filter out truth, not to see more truth.
Ever wondered if what you see is really what you get? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle tackles a mind-bending topic with his usual wit and candor. He explores the fascinating work of cognitive psychologist Donald Hoffman, who argues that our perception of reality might be more illusion than truth.
According to Hoffman, evolution has fine-tuned our brains not to seek out objective reality, but to focus on survival by interpreting symbols that help us navigate life. Boyle breaks down these complex ideas with humor and simplicity, making the heavy topic accessible and engaging. Whether you're a science enthusiast or just curious about how your mind works, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the nature of consciousness and reality.
