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

They understand that when we have our conversations, I will say, how many conscious experiences can you explain?

Oh, zero?

Aha.

So, okay, that's where we are.

So there's a stalemate here, right?

The physicalist approach is the dominant approach.

I keep pointing out that they have zero points on the board.

And at some point, I think there's going to be a change.

The tide will change.

And all we need is a real breakthrough.

I mean, what I'm working on right now is if we can show how space-time arises precisely from a theory that starts with consciousness,

I think my colleagues and friends will jump like that.

I think it'll be a transition that's very, we just need a little breakthrough to show how the headset is built.

Once we show how the headset is built, I think the transition will be very, very quick within just a handful of years.

So many spiritual traditions have had some notion of a higher power of God and so forth for thousands of years.

And at top level, it's very, very similar to what I was saying about the one consciousness that you are.

What's interesting is here's where science and spirituality need to really cooperate.

And I think that they will.

Because on one hand, the spiritual traditions have for a long time noticed that space-time is not fundamental, that there is some consciousness that's prior and more important than space-time.

But it was spiritual traditions that really fought the start of science.
