Donald Hoffman's Fitness-Beats-Truth Theorem Part 1 (Explainer)
Deep dive on Donald Hoffman's case against reality. Through a mathematical model and evolutionary game theory simulations, cognitive scientist Hoffman claims there's a 0% probability you and me perceive base reality, or the world as it actually is. We thoroughly examine his Fitness Beats Truth theorem. 0:00 Intro 0:58 Vision & Illusions 3:41 Defining Fitness & Truth 4:22 Non-monotonic Bell Curves 5:42 Game Setup 9:33 Bayes' Theorem 10:30 Game Strategies 12:05 Game Results 13:15 Jordan Peterson Excerpt 13:55 Game Example 16:39 Conclusion 🚩 Nerd Alert 🚩 This video is dense. You may find it helpful to revisit and watch again at a later time (late visuals are sprinkled in earlier for this reason). And don't be concerned with the labels/axes of example gifs.
