Professor Predicts Understanding Consciousness Will Enable Technologies That Look Like Magic

Evolution Designed Your Senses to Hide Reality | Donald Hoffman
"Understanding consciousness as a scientific theory will give us technologies that will make our current technologies look like firecrackers. If you're the geek who can't even drive a car very well, but you wrote the code, you can do magic. You can take the car of the wizard and turn it into a donkey if you want to. You can do anything."
Hoffman forecasts that once scientists reverse-engineer how consciousness generates spacetime, humanity will develop technologies indistinguishable from magic by manipulating the code underlying reality. He compares this to a video game programmer who can alter game rules at will, suggesting mastery of consciousness could transcend current physics limitations entirely.
