Mathematical Proof for Consciousness - Dr. Donald Hoffman, Cognitive Neuroscientist UC Irvine

What does the emergence of consciousnesses have to do with the
fact that spacetime is doomed? Well, even after decades of
experimentation, no one had managed to boot up consciousness from
inanimate objects. Donald Hoffman, professor of cognitive
neuroscience at UC Irvine, thinks this is because the very
premise upon which most consciousness research is based, that the
material world comes first and consciousness emerges from it
later, is flawed. Instead, he takes a mathematical approach
inspired by the work of people like Nima Arkhani-Hamed to show
that consciousness had to come first. That is, awareness does not
emerge from the material world. Instead, it comes from beyond the
world we know.

PODCAST INFO:  
Anastasia completed her PhD studying microbial communication at
Columbia University. When not talking to brilliant people or
making movies, she spends her time painting and exploring the
woods. Michael Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the
elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film
studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance
professors at various universities.
