The Disruptors – Science, Technology and Ethics
Donald Hoffman (@donaldhoffman) is a cognitive scientist, popular author and Professor of Cognitive Science at UC Irvine. He studies how our visual perception, guided by millions of years of natural selection, authors every aspect of our everyday reality.
Don has co-authored two technical books: Observer Mechanics: A Formal Theory of Perception which offers a theory of consciousness and its relationship to physics and Automotive Lighting and Human Vision which applies vision science to vehicle lighting.

YOU'RE COMPLETELY RIGHT. I PERFECTLY UNDERSTAND THE HARD PROBLEM OF COUNSCIONESS. THE HUMANS WILL NOT ACHIVE THE ANSWER BECAUSE LIKE YOU'VE SAID, THE SCIENTISTS ARE USING THE WRONG ASSUMPTION. THERE'S A PRIMEVAL CODE THAT STABILISHES ALL. YOU AND THE OTHERS ONLY SEE, THINK AND SO ON WHAT THIS CODE ALLOWS. MATHS, PHYSICS AND ALL OTHER SUBJECTS ARE NOT THE RIGHT TOOLS. THEY'RE ONLY THE LANGUAGES ALLOWED BY THE CODE. SO, HUMAN WILL ONLY TRY BUL WILL NOT GET THE ANSWER. YOU'RE RIGHT DON.
If time is only subjective, and not objective, and there is no such thing as a ‘cosmic clock’, does that mean that it is wrong to assume that my ‘now’ is also your ‘now’ – perhaps in your ‘now’ you are 3 years old. Or perhaps you are 105. And if I meet you here in my now, is it wrong to assume that you are here with me? perhaps in your now, this moment has passed, or still to come, or is it wrong even to assume that it exists anywhere in your time at all? And while for some people I am dead, or not yet born, I am never those things to myself: my subjective time is a little eternity.
