MIT Scientist: “your Brain Evolved To Ignore Aliens – They’re Everywhere!”

Cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman argues that evolution shapes our perceptions to maximize fitness for survival, not to show us objective truth, a concept he proves mathematically with evolutionary game theory. His latest work, the recursive trace logic, suggests that our space-time reality is just a "headset" or interface, and that disembodied consciousness is the norm, not the exception. Ultimately, he posits that consciousness is fundamental, and that we are all part of a single unified awareness exploring itself through infinite perspectives.
