Dynamic Entities Beyond Spacetime | Conscious Portals - Dr. Don Hoffman, UC Irvine, DSPod #215

This is our second conversation with cognitive psychologist Dr. Donald Hoffman. For round 2 we dive into the realms of physics and mathematics, exploring dynamic entities that transcend the confines of spacetime. From Markovian Dynamics to the quest for new frameworks in physics, join us in unraveling the mysteries that lie beyond conventional understanding. Beyond the physics we enjoy a captivating exploration of consciousness, spiritualism, and the profound implications of Hoffman's groundbreaking work.

PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities.

Donald Hoffman is my hero, he is a pioneer who follows the evidence!!!

[Tired_Patriot]

Anytime I see a video with Hoffman in it I KNOW I'm about to learn something cool! What a BRILLIANT theory! I don't understand everything he's talking about: and I end up watching his interviews MULTIPLE times and each time I understand a little bit more. He is entertaining AND educational and I love it! Thank you for bringing him on again; you just earned a new sub and like!!

[nowenterpsie]

I really love Donald Hoffman's razor sharp intellect, intellectual honesty, humility and spirituality. I also have to hand it to you two for a great interview, very interesting and intelligent questions and issues raised. Beautiful.

[sanderklaasen]

Like Krishnamurti said; my words don't have any validity until you experience it for yourself...

[gtau]

Great discussion. I would recommend Dr Hoffman as the one person to listen to if you can only listen to one.

[TimCollins-gvvx]

Hofs view is refreshing.. Im glad as a scientist hes not banging his head against the proverbial brick wall anymore. I think hes on the right track. Together science and spirituality has a better chance of scratching the surface of understanding of the big questions than science alone.

[jamesconway]

Amazing conceptual consciousness based physics.

[innerlight]

1.17.18:DH:..the deeper picture is, not only life but consciousness is fundamental, so we are never creating life we are only creating new portals into life, so no new life is being created, only new projections of life.."
Wow!Thanks Dr Hoffman for spreading knowledge and wisdom!🙏

[luhqjvv]

Awesome; truly great interviewers with Donald Hoffman!

[tinfoilhatscholar]

Isn't it just funny, that it is the standard world view of mystics and people who live in close communion with the Earth, that consciousness is primary. That consciousness is omnipotent and makes up the fabric of the universe, and that we do in fact have extrasensory organs of perception that can feel the fabric. (Michael Levin often suggests that we do not have such extrasensory capacities) (Federico Faggin eloquently elaborates upon the mystical experience of awakening to the fabric of consciousness)

And... The standard world view of empericists, is that consciousness must not exist outside of the mental realm.

It sure is reminiscent of the story of small self to big Self, and of rhe journey of "know thyself". It is merely a property of the small self to imagine self as primary...
I just finished Hegel's 'phenomenology of mind' this morning, and i think this is exactly what he was talking about, lol

Excellent discussion. Love it

[myfriendscat]

Thank you for having Dr. Hoffman back for a second round. I understand his ideas much better now. I hadn't realized before that his thoughts on spirituality and science were so sensible, to me.

[rareartists]

Don Hoffman is easily the most important Conscious Agent affiliated with the academy / Science. Thanks & Praise ✨

[santacruzman]

Your discussion of and focus on the pragmatic aspects of how viewing consciousness as primary is actually life affirming rather than a simply a theoretical concept and can measurably help us all lead more peaceful, interesting and profound lives is immensely valuable for me. Much thanks to all.

[AzonariMedia]

This was a fantastic interview. I always love Dr. Hoffman speak, and your interaction with him brought out the best. I learned a lot, even though I have read his book and watched several other interviews. But also I loved the end, the emotional and philosophical aspects of his work.

[cherylchaudhary]

this talk is one of the best I have ever come across!!! Thank you This is amazing!!

[drkzilla]

It never occurred to me that space time has a limited resolution!

I'm glad people are thinking about these ideas.

[koldunya]

RAZOR SHARP INTELLECT OF DONALD Hoffman is evident! Equally impressed with the interviewers!

[wbaiey]

Love your work. Love your contribution to humanity. Thank you dear, Sir.

[IntuitArt-rbbr]

Thanks so much for this. The topics starting @01:34:00 are so inspiring. Anastasia is wonderful - both of you are - thank you. Subscribed.

[Vunderbread]

Wonderful discussion, though my favorite aspect is how often he repeats “These are brilliant theories”, “These are brilliant men.
… Even geniuses in many cases.”
And then proceeds to effectively trash them.
