The evolution of perceptions, Donald Hoffman

Why Our Reality Is False |

Donald Hoffman


Most of us believe we perceive reality as it generally is, with perhaps some slight distortions. But mathematical models based on natural selection suggest that our strongest intuitions may be false.

Donald Hoffman and Tom Bilyeu discuss the fascinating possibilities that stem from the theory that evolution gave us the equivalent of a desktop interface that hides the real truth from us so that we can take effective action. They discuss the nature of consciousness, free will, space-time, causality and the self.

Filmed in the 40s in Italy, a propellor driven automobile that flies makes its first test flight. Top land speed is 150mph and air speed is over 200mph. So the flying cars were being developed more than a quarter of century before Scaramanga .

Dating Sites Are Not Built for Men

if you want to be more attractive, and date more people, you should address your life as a whole—you should make yourself an interesting, fun person to be with, and figure out your haircut. It also implies that you should also stop using dating sites. On dating sites, you have no way of presenting all of these other dimensions of self that can be attractive.

Many average-looking men, not understanding this, wander onto dating sites, do terribly, and conclude that they have no chances of dating someone they find attractive.

But, instead, if they went to the gym, worked on being less cowardly and emotionally messy, and started doing interesting things with their lives, in some social context that involved at least occasional contact with women, they’d do fine.
