🚨BREAKING: A cognitive scientist from MIT has mathematically proven that evolution guarantees we see zero percent of true reality, that most consciousness in the universe exists without a body, and that non-human intelligences with a wider window on reality than ours can reach in and manipulate it the way a programmer manipulates a video game.
Donald Hoffman (@donalddhoffman) is a cognitive scientist at UC Irvine who has spent 40 years building a mathematical theory of the observer. His work was cited by John Wheeler in the "It From Bit" paper. He studied under Marvin Minsky at MIT, spent two decades secretly meeting with Francis Crick to study consciousness, and has nine specific mathematical conjectures on the table that would derive general relativity, quantum field theory and the Big Bang from a single framework. The top high-energy physicists in the world, Nima Arkani-Hamed and Nobel laureate David Gross, are already saying spacetime is doomed. Hoffman thinks he knows what replaces it.
This interview is the first time he has publicly laid out what his mathematical model explains about alien life, embodiment and the structure of reality.
It already derives time dilation and quantum wave functions directly from differences in observer window size. Physics has spent a century failing to solve the measurement problem because it has been looking in the wrong place. The observer has to come first, and no physicalist framework can get you there.
A consciousness with a larger observer window has access to the underlying structure of our reality in ways we can't perceive or counter. A craft going Mach 40 instantaneously in our headset could be a leisurely maneuver in theirs.
The implications for UAP and alien life are immense.
Embodiment, being locked into a body with fingers and toes as your only interface with the world, is a probability zero anomaly in the full space of possible minds. He also says current large language models are dumber than cucumbers. His new framework, the recursive trace logic, is a completely different architecture, and some of the biggest names in frontier AI have already come to him about it.
The framework has no ceiling, and the implication is a single unified consciousness exploring itself through an unbounded number of perspectives, each one capable of waking up.
Death, in this framework, is just the closing of an icon on the desktop.
Full conversation is live now.
Open request to @Perplexity_ai from a long‑time paid user:
You sell Perplexity as a multi‑model answer engine using “the latest and best” models.
That’s great marketing Team Perplexity, though for serious work—contracts, finance, compliance—“just trust us” on which model answered is not enough for us, your users “
Right now we have zero per‑answer transparency on which model actually generated a given output.
As your users we can’t verify if a response came from sandboxed GPT 5.1 or GPT‑5.x, Claude, Gemini, Sonar, or something cheaper. For high‑stakes decisions, you would understand that’s a deal‑breaker.
Feature request- (not optional for pro users):
•For every answer, show a small “any significant Models used in this answer” section with the model names.
•For multi‑model modes, list the models involved in the synthesis.
•(Bonus) Let us export that metadata for audits.
If you’re really using top‑tier models consistently , this only helps you: it turns “multi‑model” from brochure copy into something verifiable and enterprise‑ready.
Without per‑answer model attribution, power users will be forced to move critical work to places where we can prove which model did what.
Trust is good. Transparent, per‑answer model attribution is better.

The Australian 2026 federal budget includes major changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing:
• The 50% CGT discount is being removed (phased in from July 2027). Capital gains will instead be indexed for inflation with a minimum 30% tax rate applying in many cases.
This significantly increases the effective tax rate on gains from shares, property, businesses and other assets.
• Negative gearing on established (existing) rental properties will be restricted from July 2027, with full deductibility limited to new builds only.
Existing investors receive transitional arrangements.
Owner-occupied homes remain fully exempt from CGT.
Key points of debate:
• These changes create a tax advantage for owner-occupied housing relative to investment properties, which some analysts say could direct more capital into family homes and affect prices.
• Concerns include potential reduced rental supply and higher rents over time, plus less incentive for equity investment in businesses.
• The government argues the reforms improve housing affordability and intergenerational fairness.
Economists are divided on the net impacts. Outcomes will depend on implementation details, housing supply, migration, and interest rates.
What are your thoughts on these?
The single biggest winner from the budget: the tax-free owner-occupied home, which is where people will put their money. After the budget doubles the capital gains tax on productive businesses/assets from circa 23.5% to 46-47%, investors will understandably pull money from businesses, shares, commercial property and rental housing and plough it into their tax-free owner-occupied home. It's a great way to push up the prices of these houses. On the other hand, cutting negative gearing while also doubling CGT makes investing in rental properties extremely unattractive. It hammers the capital gain upside on any asset: shares, commercial property, the small or medium sized business you built, venture capital and private equity. It will give Australia the most unattractive capital gains tax in the WORLD (see table below)! So the government's policies will (1) push up owner-occupied house prices, (2) push up rents, and (3) reduce the capital available for investing in any small, medium or large sized business that is driving employment, innovation, growth and productivity/prosperity. Investors will go to other countries where they pay half the capital gains tax, or less. Since these pollies have never worked a day of their lives in the private sector, it is no surprise that when they decide to completely and unilaterally rewrite the entire tax system for all investors and businesses -- after promising before the last election more than 50 times NOT to change the capital gains tax and negative gearing rules -- that they would blow the entire Aussie economy up... Your best bet will be to buy a house, live in it, and hope they keep dropping 500,000 new people into the country every year to pump-up prices...
Thoughts there inc grok - Tectonic activity due to the collision of the Arabian and Eurasian tectonic plates. https://t.co/dLlgAe4rTw
Iran is one of the most seismically active countries in the world, located along the Alpine-Himalayan seismic belt (also called the Zagros fold and thrust belt in many areas). This results from the ongoing northward push of the Arabian plate into the Eurasian plate, causing crustal shortening, faulting, and frequent earthquakes. https://t.co/pzSz8spMy5
Recent Context (as of May 12, 2026)
• Recent quakes in Iran (e.g., around early May 2026 in western/southern provinces like Kermanshah, Hormozgan, Lorestan, and a possible 4.3 near Damavand/Tehran area) are all attributed to natural tectonic processes. https://t.co/rKnxSDkRgz
• No credible evidence links any recent events to human causes like nuclear tests. Seismologists (including USGS and CTBTO) distinguish natural quakes by their depth, wave signatures (stronger secondary waves), and location on known faults. Suspected “nuclear” events are typically debunked as they match typical tectonic patterns in Iran’s active zones. https://t.co/mNPCAhyUdx
Earthquakes here are usually shallow (often ~10 km depth), which can make them feel stronger locally but doesn’t change the fundamental tectonic cause. Iran experiences thousands of quakes yearly, most minor. https://t.co/rKnxSDkRgz
For the absolute latest on any specific event “just now,” check sources like USGS or Iran’s seismological center, as activity is ongoing in this region.
