It's wild seeing Don Hoffman popping up in youtube and instagram videos now. I vividly remember taking his class on visual perception as an undergraduate in 2003, and being so inspired by his lectures that I ultimately ended up pursuing and completing a PhD in cognitive science. .. He was (and probably still is) such an incredible lecturer!
It doesn’t have to lead you to madness it all depends on how much you adapt to new concepts and logical thinking
Donald Hoffman has a very narrow view of what other people think about life. He is really quite stupid.
We are the universe becoming aware of itself
I question reality so much, I had no choice but to go on benzodiazepines over it. I’m not even joking
I’ve been questioning everything the last few months and it has me so messed up I’m lost and confused so don’t let this happen to you
He kind of explained god to me
the interface they’re talking about is a metaphor for our default before people miss the obvious
Yes, it does and did.
It triggers my depersonalization/derealization 'disorder' and AIWS. That's all I've got to say about that.
Haven’t watched the vid yet, but I’m here to say yes. Yes it does.
I never been scared of dieing since if I die I’ll go somewhere that most likely have better technology and cool things
Hello! Im alive! I exist!
I don't even need to watch this video to tell you yes it does! Your mind is really powerful and if it starts going off the deep end and starts questioning things it's not ready for.
I know exactly what this man is talking about. I lose sleep over this and feel like I'm going insane sometimes.
He needs to debate Bishop Barron
i think madness is better than arrogance.
It does and then you rebuild the pillars that previously held your sanity up.
You might as well be trying to understand eternity.
Everything you call real is made of things we can’t regard as real.
Accepting the reality being presented to you is madness.
Lex must take really nice naps.
Started with God, didn't believe in anything, then Buddhism made alot of sense…in the end made it back to God. Still have moments when I just stop, look around and am like what the heck is all this!
If done correctly it should lead you to realize there is no you
Yes, and there is no going back.
No it leads the system Tryna convince everyone your crazy
no, it doesn't. if something has already caused you to lose your ego, and realize you're just walking meat filled with shit, you'll be fine. continue your journey.
Trust God and lean not on your own understanding
Regardless of why we're here, enjoy your life. I try not to stew on big picture ideas because it leads me to an existential dilemma. Try your best to live in the moment, avoid these thoughts (because they're pointless in the grand scheme of things), and appreciate the little moments you experience. I've heard weed (in the right setting) helps…
Aw death the ultimate local realism, allegedly.
In
My point of view everything is About Light…
When you realize you’re god and nothing exist
So you create a dream reality to forget you’re god
That’s the insanity
Seems like a good point in one’s life to find God.
It was hard to hear Donald Hoffman express his struggle.
Hoffman repeatedly said that he meditates for 2 hours per day. He is searching for the truth, however, he is stuck in his body and in the room where he meditates. In other words, he is banging his head against the wall.
Solution: take some psilocybe mushrooms. Blast away the constructs which bind you. One must let go of logic and face the eternal.
The exit of the body and the room is where one finds that nothing is concrete. Everything is an illusion. We are lied to everyday by the structures around us. Education, government, and religion is human made and it is a lie.
Deconstruct, then rebuild and appreciate the life that one has, because it will soon end.
