It took a jury less than an hour to return a guilty verdict. The woman accused of conspiracy to murder our family member would face sentencing. Sitting through that experience was one of the most difficult two weeks of my life. The following weekend, someone came up to me...
Donald Hoffman is a cognitive scientist and philosopher with a radical theory. In his book The Case Against Reality, time and space are not fundamental to the perception of reality. Our complex brains have simultaneously created a simplified version of life, along with shaping a projection of a complex...
