Spacetime is doomeded / Realism Is False
Donald D. Hoffman
"I'm not saying that consciousness just is mathematics; it's more like consciousness and mathematics are like a living organism and the bones. The bones are the mathematics and consciousness is the living organism. That's one reason why we can hope to build a mathematical model of consciousness and conscious agents."
"It turns out that our best theory, quantum theory, predicts quite clearly that non-contextual realism is false. Local realism is false, non-contextual realism is false, and that leaves it quite open that realism itself is false. If realism is false, that raises a couple of questions. Is that true only for microscopic objects—electrons, protons, neutrons, and photons—and not more macroscopic objects?"

Red pill Blue pill / Time to change the paradigm
"We have been misled to believe that the brain, or the embodied brain, somehow serves up the magic of consciousness. We have, in short, been duped. [...] Evolution shaped our perceptions to hide adaptive behaviour. [...] We do, and should, take it seriously. But it is a fiction — a lifesaving fiction."

"None of these [above] proposals has offered a precise account for a single conscious experience. [...] No answer has been offered and none ever will: these proposals set themselves an impossible task by assuming that objects in spacetime exist when not observed and have causal powers."

Taking the red pill
"Perhaps the FBT Theorem [Fitness Beats Truth] is irrelevant to human evolution? Perhaps what is required to understand human evolution is a complete artificial-intelligence simulation of humans, together with a simulation of their interactions with all the other organisms and with the earth itself. Perhaps, without such a comprehensive simulation, we cannot possibly claim to know that we did not evolve to see reality as it is."
