Cognitive Science, Cognitive Psychology, and Philosophy of MindAmerican
Evolution has given us a perception that is useful for survival, not for seeing the truth.
Donald Hoffman (born 1955) is a cognitive psychologist and professor at the University of California, Irvine. He is internationally renowned for his research on visual perception, evolutionary psychology, and his "Interface Theory of Perception," which posits that spacetime and objects are not objective reality but merely an evolutionary user interface.
