In this book review I consider the idea that what we perceive as reality is in fact an interface much like seeing icons on your desktop. This is the astounding idea of scientist and philosopher Donald R Hoffman..
In this review find out what I thought of the book and its astonishing hypothesis of 'Fitness Beats Truth' (FBT) theorem and how it's the payoff for being able to interact with our world in a meaningful way that beats true perception of reality.
00:00 intro to book and his interface theory
02:50 conscious agents (that's us) interact with a simulation of the world
03:42 origin of consciousness - hard problem is solved if consciousness is fundamental
05:30 format of the book - a great idea but some formatting, style and repetition issues
07:44 position of conscious realism vs. panpsychism - the philosophical basis - immaterial?
09:51 Time expands and contracts depending on our focus/interaction
11:40 Final thoughts.
