Donald Hoffman challenges the foundational assumption that's guided neuroscience for decades—that the brain generates consciousness—and explores what we might be missing by building our entire understanding of mind on this single premise. If consciousness isn't produced by neural activity but rather filtered or transmitted through it, how would that reshape neuroscience, physics, and our basic assumptions about reality? This conversation invites you to question whether we've been looking in the right place all along.
