Donald Hoffman and Conscious Realism I am having problems with what he is saying. I agree we don't see objective reality but he seems to imply that an object doesn't exist unless we look at it with our conscious minds and he says nothing about measurement or amplification of the tiny quantum world. He also doesn't mention anything about a macro object with all combined particles creating a gravitational field and effect upon space-time. I believe it's more complicated than the way he portrays it. An object does exist whether you observe it or not because of the influence from all the other particles but the information in the form of entropy can be influenced by many factors including consciousness which is encoded within the multiple dimensions of the Planck energy in a complex array of variables beyond our ability to wrap our minds around in some sort on conservation of information between bosons and fermions similar to the holographic principle.
I believe the universe is conscious as well but that is opening another can of worms.
