387. What You See and Feel is Not Reality | Dr. Donald Hoffman
The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast
Challenging Beliefs About Self and Reality
The speaker, who was raised as a physicalist, is shocked to discover that the best science suggests that his body is just an avatar. He meditates and explores different points of view, ultimately concluding that he and others are the one consciousness experiencing itself through different avatars. Within this projection, morals are important, but outside of it, they may not matter. The conversation ends with a promise to continue exploring these metaphysical and ethical questions in future podcasts.
