Neuroscientist Challenges: Do Neurons Really Exist? The Surprising Truth About Consciousness 🧠

About this video

What if not only does the brain not create consciousness, but even neurons only exist when perceived?
Cognitive neuroscientist Donald Hoffman challenges both neuroscience and simulation theory:

“No computational theory or neural network can explain even one conscious experience.”
“Taste of garlic. Sound of a trumpet. The feeling of joy no theory can replicate that.”

“Space-time isn’t fundamental. Neurons don’t exist when unobserved.”
“They’re a headset-a—projection—from something deeper, beyond space and time.”

This is not anti-science. It’s post-science.
It’s time we upgrade the model.

👇 Comment below:

Do you believe consciousness can ever be explained by science?

Have you experienced moments that feel beyond space and time?

What do you think exists behind this illusion?

Donald Hoffman is an American cognitive scientist, author, and professor at the University of California, Irvine. He is best known for his groundbreaking theories on consciousness, perception, and the idea that space, time, and objects are not fundamental realities, but rather useful illusions created by consciousness.

He argues that what we perceive as reality—colors, shapes, even neurons—are just icons on an interface, like a desktop screen, and not the true nature of the world. His work challenges both traditional neuroscience and simulation theory.

Hoffman is the author of the book "The Case Against Reality", where he explores why evolution may have shaped us to see not the truth, but only what helps us survive.
