A while ago I was looking for something interesting to watch and I came across this video by Donald Hoffman in the Ted talks series on YouTube titled "Do we see reality as it is?". I thought of course I do!
Donald Hoffman brings to light certain differences in the conscious evolution of mankind. In his talk, he discusses when the reality is manufactured in the mind of the observer and when the observed reality is understood for what it truly represents.
How Donald tested this concept was by running different human evolution programming algorithms on computers with a team of scientists where one test was done by having humans perceive reality for what it really is. In this reality, the humans eventually died out and went extinct. In the next test, the humans were allowed to experience reality as they perceived it. Which means humans changed their interpretation of reality to better suit their needs. This test showed that humans who made their own reality had a better chance of surviving.
At first, I hated this idea. Because I think people who can't see the world as it truly is are lowly. But I came to realize that in order to tolerate a lot of what the world has to offer you have to perceive it differently than what it truly is to survive. So imaginative people breed on and let your dreamland inherit the future.
Thanks for reading and have a great life.
Here is the link to the video. Enjoy.
