Top Psychologist, Donald Hoffman: Seeing True Reality Would Kill Us! I Can Prove It To You!

Steven, I really hope you see this comment. I am schizophrenic, and i just want to thank you for touching on the experiences of people like me. I feel that when it comes to conversations like these, the perspectives of others like me are always left out. It means so much to me that you included us, because I think we are a part of the puzzle that often gets ignored. It made me feel seen, and I hope for any other of your listeners who are also schizophrenic or have mental illnesses that cause similar symptoms feel that way too. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. 💓

To be honest, this whole conversation basically boils down to one thing: we don’t know a fucking thing about anything.

1. We don't understand our reality, our reality is virtual. 2. Animals perceive the world differently. 3. The world is more interesting than you can imagine. 4. Whatever you are transcends your definition. 5. Know yourself - be yourself. 6. We are all the same consciousness. 7. You can know yourself when you let go of all concepts. 8. You are divine as you can possibly be. 9. We transcend the headset but we choose to get lost in the rules of the game. 10. When we die we can speculate there will be awareness. 11. Everyone else is you so treat yourself with love. Love is all we need. 12. Working on the new theory outside space-time - already mathematically have achieved light through the theory of conscious agents. 13. When you really stare at pain it dissolves. 14. Love your neighbor as yourself - reality is far more amazing and exciting than you can ever imagine, never think you know everything. You don't need to prove anything. 15. When you are in challenging situations think this is what needs to happen.

Watching from Ukraine. 38 mins into the video, as the topic of simulation theory came up, a thought popped into my head that if we all create our own reality and our experiences of it are vastly different, then the notion of asking a friend for advice or life coaching or therapy makes no sense since the answers will not be tailored to your reality, but to the advisor's. So, the better way, perhaps, would be to sit in silence, having set the intention to receive the answer, and it will come to you. Or, maybe, sit in silence and don't even ask anything, but just go ahead and create what you need/want in your life with your thoughts and imagine it so vividly that you are able to feel it with your senses, and it will come to you in "real" life. It's just a thought. I'll continue watching this fascinating conversation! Peace.

It’s wild how most of what we think is “us” might just be pre-programmed responses we never signed up for. Childhood, media, culture, all layered over something we never even got to define. The scariest part? Elias Velin warned about this exact loop in 12 Codes of Collapse. Not just about AI, but how we’ve been mentally engineered to stay in autopilot. And it’s working.

My son has autism. He often bursts out laughing. Once when he was a toddler & frequently laughing at a corner above our living room (& his bedroom door), we asked him what he was laughing at & he said, “the angels.” I still get goosebumps when I remember that. He was only a baby & had not yet learned about angels.

My name is Diane, and I am blind. I have no eyes, just sockets. I have no light perception. Yet, I can see photos that my husband looks at. Sounds really loony doesn't it? But I have also tried this with other people and it still works. Your senses are made to help you, however they can also stop you seeing or perceiveing reality. It's like having loud music on all your life so you can't hear the birds.

very interesting. I have read his books and concur through doing meditation myself that there is much more to us than just physicality. We are not our body, thoughts, name, job, beliefs, etc. Silent awareness is what we are in reality.

I love these conversations. I had a NDE after a gran mal seizure in '12 & had the life review. I've tried to understand that experience for years. I think there's more tied to lessons & karma. I've been studying Vedic astrology for the past several years. It encompasses mathematical break down of divisional charts &nakshatras. I'm old enough to see my chart played out.
