Robert sits down with cognitive psychologist and author Donald Hoffman to discuss some mind-boggling concepts. They delve into the idea that we may be living in a simulation, how mathematics and emotion are linked, and the role of geometry in understanding the universe. They also explore the dogma of Scientism, its limitations, the concept of entropy, and how it relates to the universe and our own lives. They also consider that humans could be AI, shedding light on some fascinating questions about our existence and place in the world. Tune in to this thought-provoking conversation, which will leave you questioning the very fabric of reality.
