OK, strap yourselves in because it’s about to get deep. Probably too deep? I’m talking about Professor Donald Hoffman’s theory of Conscious Realism.
Read the transcript of our original full interview here, Don is MUCH better at making a case against reality than I am 😉 https://zdoggmd.com/incident-report-179/
And here’s our recent in-person interview with Don Hoffman: https://youtu.be/dd6CQCbk2ro

58:28 Mind blown
Wow! I just finished listening to your interview with Dr Hoffman and was thirsty for more so I listened to this one… this stuff is mind blowing! It's just like taking that red pill and getting addicted to it… and I haven't read his book yet… I think I'll never look at the world in the same way ever again… thanks for showing us the portal! 😃❤🌍
Dear Doctor Zubin! I am very greatful for Your outstanding description of the nature of Reality. Earlier I've already whatched Your interview with Professor Hoffman. It was just the first step towards the Understanding. You have such incredible eyes. Maybe we must pay more attention to the study of Icon's eyes(if they have ones). Maybe it's a kind of portal to real nature of an Icon. Be blessed!
I wish this was also a podcast.
Can you please give me a physical exam some time
I already loved ZDogg and the search for Reality separately, then they merged. I am beyond excited. Thanks for your bravery in sharing what really matters both in our space-time and what lies beneath.
Wow! So interesting. First time hearing about this, but not the first time I felt it was like this. but it makes so much sense.
I'm watching this now, May 21,2020. My mind is blown. Especially when you look at this in the teens of Covid and the experiences we all have now.
Very interesting thanks for sharing !
That was great. I just discovered conscious realism a couple of hours ago, beginning with a podcast interview of Dr. Hoffman that came up in YouTube suggested videos. I immediately downloaded a digital copy of his book, then proceeded to continue searching YouTube for the specific subject and that led me here. I'm going to check out your Community section to find out if the regular philosophy discussion has become a thing. Great stuff!
I see the moon and the moon sees me.
Is this on your podcast?
hey Z…sensationell ! it is so good for me to have my thoughts mirrored by another person. Surely you know this as well as others here who read this post that it is difficult to share your thoughts with other people. It#s just to freaky for the most of the people. You got the point … it was also my realization years ago that the old religions and cultures were right in their statements when they say that everything is consciousness … that everything is God, through us experiences. Bro, thank you and I am happy to share this consciousness with you and to live it out. My RESPECT …. I am happy to have found you and your channel … peace Mav.
Well my question about objects not existing in spacetime until observed is, if my bicycle in the garage doesnt exist til observed, then what is it that is collecting dust over time?
I can imagine you crying when Hoffman says "yeah guys, conscious agents just aren't the right idea, I have replaced it with another idea"
More!
I'm a follower of king Jesus. I guess I must be the 0.0001% 😉
Seriously, although I'm not in full agreement on your conclusions around the impersonal nature of the metaphysics of the conscious realm, I'm fascinated with the premise of consciousness being the fundamental element of reality.
If meaning is connection, then why would your first cause (i.e. God) be impersonal and uninvolved? Why wouldn't it follow that our need to connect is a reflection of the first cause? Or is Dr Hoffman arguing that the larger God is reflection of the components including us? I need to finish his book… 🙂
Difficult subject but your perspective clarified plenty for me, tnx. May the force be with you as you grow your outliers ❤
So what happens when you combine quantum computing with a coherent, quantitative understanding of consciousness? Hmm. One of my favorite quotes: “Man becomes, as it were, the sex organs of the machine world, as the bee of the plant world, enabling it to fecundate and evolve ever new forms.”
– Marshall McLuhan, circa 1970
Something which may help you visualize this is by reconsidering the pop culture definition of a plane or dimension, and invert the idea of multiple simultaneous instances of the same reality. Instead, imagine multiple experiences of one reality, based on different forms of concious agency, adapted to some shared, and some different forms of awareness of the one reality. In this reality, a dimension is the true place YOU, not your collection of matter, or subconscious agents, perceive exististence in.
The really beautiful thing about our hosts stated goal is the idea of unlocking the key to healing conscious agents. It is easy to look at how healing in the future is portrayed as waving a wand around and producing spontaneous regeneration, stimulating the body to correct broken cells. Yes, mechanically, this is the desired effect. But to put this entire discussion into one belief of truth, you also have to accept that another way to express the action being taken in reality says that healing conscious agents is literally repairing love.
And this is a beautiful goal, indeed.
You are on to something wonderful. Keep it up!
I'm hardcore science, practical thinking, etc etc, but spirituality is completely different to religion. I think follow your heart and you'll find what feels right.
I knew that you’re different before this video.. now I’m sure you got something special for the future of awakening. Keep on this path.
I’m watching the human collective intelligence form and take small actions. It’s fascinating to see this develop.
I REALLY enjoyed this talk. Very mind expanding. Since I was a kid I’ve wondered what I was as an organism and how I reacted to the world around me. Keep up these themes ZDoggMD! 🙏🏼
Not sure if anyone else has said this… but we're discussing holons here. And I Love the signifiers used here. Thank you.
I wish you would have Dr. John Bergman for a guest. It would be interesting for the two of you to discuss your opinions about vaccines.
Seriously got a little freaked out! Because it is logical.
Hey Zdog, I know it's more of a long-term goal, but if you can try to tie this into healthcare a little more in these earlier videos that would be great. Also please keep making at least some health-care videos you're passionate about, I really enjoy them. Thanks.
ZDogg… Immanuel Kant….you need to check him out, 19th century philosopher who wrote a big book about truth, reality is not how we perceive it. Also Solipsism has never been disproven.
Is it supporting observer's effect and that consciousness creates reality theory?
Mind fucking blown!!! How do I give you all my money without FB or Patreon?? Cause your mate Mr Attia is too rich for my broke ass budget!
Z you might also appreciate the work of Lynne Kelly PhD. May have implications for interpreting some religions. Here's a recent conversation with Sean Carroll. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYhVkbzr60E
good stuff. thanks for a very articulate representation of Hoffman's work.
Thank you Pastor ZDogg for the wonderful sermon
Zdoggmd! Very well done 👍🏽. Honestly I think about this type of thing literally every single day and what you have said makes so much sense. Between all the sciences combined such as people in Bruce Lipton’s field and what I have learned with the yogic approach all the dots really connect to this conversation. I’ve listened to hundreds of hours of sadhguru which btw is mind blowing in how he teaches you to look within to be able to take control of your interface and unlock your consciousness to see beyond the icons and see reality for what it really is. The way you explained this really has me understanding reality on a deeper level with science backing it up. Thank you 🙏. Let’s keep on healing the world one patient at a time. We are all connected
If you're a fan of Donald Hoffman , then I strongly recommend Bernardo Kastrup , whose ideas are similar, but Kastrup bases his ideas on philosophy.
Check out Kastrup's Zurich lecture, which can be found here on Youtube.
Now I'm an outlier
here too. I just want to be normal! lol
I'd be interested in hearing more about how you imagine changes in treating mental illness will look like. I find it intriguing also, and I'm wondering what forms that might take. Cognitive therapy that addresses different areas, or are you thinking medications?
