Proving Ancient Wisdom Through Mathematics | with Prof. Donald Hoffman

Donald Hoffman is a cognitive psychologist and popular science author. He is a
professor in the Department of Cognitive Sciences at the University of
California, Irvine, with joint appointments in the Department of Philosophy,
the Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science, and the School of Computer
Science. He studies consciousness, visual perception and evolutionary
psychology using mathematical models and psychophysical experiments. In this
interview we discuss Prof. Hoffman’s work and theories on consciousness and
the nature of reality, the limits of space-time, what evolution says about
consciousness and how the latest mathematical theories about consciousness
reflect positively on many ancient spiritual traditions. Other relevant
