MIT scientist says aliens are likely all around us! We just can’t see them…
Donald Hoffman says the mathematics indicates embodied consciousness like ours is a rare exception in the universe.
The universe should be teeming with intelligence more advanced than humans, operating without traditional bodies.
Hoffman calls our human form one of the cheapest, most restrictive “virtual reality headsets” in existence.
The default state of consciousness, according to the math, has no body at all.
“Embodiment is very, very small.”
“The universe would be teeming with life that is more advanced than humans and also doesn’t have traditional bodies.”
“Our particular kind of view of the world, the kind of, I’ll call it a headset, the virtual reality headset that we’re using for our embodiment, is one of the more trivial kinds of headsets.”
“Our headset is one of the cheapest, most restrictive possible.”
“There are all sorts of variations that are far more interesting and complicated than what we’ve got.”
“Embodiment is the exception, not the rule.”
