Penrose argues that quantum mechanics is wrong.
It fails to explain the collapse of the wavefunction during measurement.

[Donald Hoffman @donalddhoffman]

I agree with Penrose that quantum theory is not even quite correct, in part because it lacks a theory of wavefunction collapse, and that we need a theory beyond quantum mechanics to understand consciousness.

@PreetBharara Sad to say but Walz does his best to answer the questions but he looks worried when Vance speaks. Vance spits out the usual BS and looks confident while doing it.

[Donald Hoffman @donalddhoffman]

Evolution by natural selection entails that you do not see reality as it is, veridically. What you see is an adaptive fiction. Lex asks great questions about this and other topics in this reposted podcast.

“Reality is constructed by the brain, and no two brains are exactly alike.”

Reality includes neurons, synapses and the brain itself. These also are constructs. What constructs the reality that we perceive as neurons, synapses and the brain itself?

@ufouapam I'm reminded of the first time he was asked about UAP. His answer was: "I don't particularly think it's true ". That's his most honest answer on the subject. Anything else is just trying to sound interesting to get votes. Don't buy into his crap please.

Sam Harris's conversation with @TheOmniLiberal is available wherever you listen to podcasts.
