Donald Hoffman – Does Consciousness Cause the Cosmos?

Some claim consciousness, our inner awareness, is part of a ‘cosmic consciousness’. Not only is consciousness the deepest reality, but also it brought into existence the totality of reality. This would mean that mind, the mental, is fundamental and primary, while the entire physical universe is derivative and secondary. Very interesting conversation.

Key Takeaways:

• Donald Hoffman believes that consciousness is fundamental to humans.
• He also believes that consciousness is causative of the physical world around us.
• This would mean that the mind is primary and the entire physical universe is secondary and derivative of the mind.

“Different species will have different structures to their nature of awareness.”
