Hey Michael,

Came across this scheme from a friend. Claimed to return 20% per month! Through forex trading.

Regards,

As Ed Seykota said, “Everyone gets what they want.” And I would add, “Even if fantasy.”

My guest today is Donald Hoffman, a cognitive scientist at UC Irvine. He studies how our visual perception, guided by millions of years of natural selection, authors every aspect of our everyday reality. His research is about uncovering the underlying secrets of human perception. Donald has discovered clues that point to our subjective nature of reality. According to Donald, we actively create everything we see. Donald started to learn how to program at a very early age. This is what got him thinking: Are we just machines, or actual humans?

The topic is cognitive psychology.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Are we robot or human?
  • Evolution
  • Reality vs. Perception of reality
  • Natural selection
  • Pushing theories to their limits
