The Case Against Reality

Why Evolution Hid the Truth from Our Eyes
in: Biology
Summary:

The book argues that human perceptions do not depict objective reality but rather a user-friendly interface evolved to enhance survival, not to reveal truth. It delves into cognitive science, evolutionary theory, and quantum physics to challenge the assumption that what we see, hear, and touch is an accurate representation of the world around us.

Key points:

1. Interface Theory of Perception: Hoffman's theory suggests our perception of reality is a survival guide, not an accurate reflection of the world.
