Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

So again, I would be stunned if we're right.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

But at least we're precise so that we can now begin the whole process of saying, okay, at least these hypotheses are precise.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

So now we can show their limits, try to prove where they reach their limits, and then move on.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

Or to show that, you know, this is just fundamentally wrongheaded.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

There's nothing worthwhile.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

Maybe our definition of mass is just plain wrong.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

We'll see.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

But it's intriguing enough that I have a particle physicist who put his name on the paper with us.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

It doesn't mean it's right.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

It doesn't mean that he's convinced that we're right.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

But we have a real particle physicist who thinks that if it's wrong, it's not obviously wrong, and it's worth pushing on.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

My guess, again, we're way in over my head, but Mike, here we are.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

The joy of exploration.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

It's just pre-programmed.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

How it is.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

It's just, yeah, that the one...

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

is the only thing that there is, but it's infinitely changing, infinitely, it's self-exploration.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

It's really infinite self-exploration and looking and enjoying and ever expanding its understanding of itself.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

That would be my guess.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

Well, that pleasure is just, in some sense, it's different than an evolutionary thing.
