Donald Hoffman Has Proof That Reality is an ILLUSION! (#354)

Is reality real, or are we actually just living in a simulation?
How did Galileo influence modern thinking about reality? And are
there any drug experiences that you simply can't come back
from?  Here today to discuss this with me is renowned
philosopher, famous TED talk speaker, cognitive scientist, and deep
thinker Donald Hoffman!  Donald is a professor in the
Department of Cognitive Science at the University of California,
Irvine, and the author of the provocative book The Case Against
Reality. So, there is really no one better out there to discuss
reality with! Tune in and join us as Donald presents his case
