The School of Greatness · The Math Says You've Never Seen Reality | Donald Hoffman · 15 Jun 2026 podcast

But what was important for me was to go through it

For a couple reasons, to first know who I am, I transcend that, but then to know who all these other people are.

Many religions say love your neighbor as yourself, and it's because your neighbor is yourself.

And that's what we're really here to learn is that the other person is you in a different headset.

And that's really the... So learning to be in touch with your own emotions and watching them and learning then to have compassion on other people who are having the same kind of emotions, the same kind of fears and pain and problems that you have.

And realizing we're just kids in the sandbox identifying with our toys and having compassion and helping...

Others to sort of wake up and get some space between them and the game so they can watch the game instead of just being identified with the game.

So for me, on the personal level, that's the best integration I've come to.

And I hope next year I'd have an even better integrator of it.

But that's where I am right now.

Wow.

That's a great question because that's the move we need to make.

So what I do is I practice.

So when I'm home alone and there's nothing...

I have to do, I will spend time just in silence.

And I will spend quite a bit of time, actually, where I just sit there and then watch myself and just watch myself saying, I don't want to do this.

I've got things that are much more important to do than this.

So I just watch that.

I watch that kid in the sandbox that says, this shovel is really important and no one's going to take it from me.

I just watch that and recognize it's the kid in the sandbox.
