In a similar way, Hoffman argues, evolution has shaped our perceptions into simplistic illusions to help us navigate the world around us. The objects we see around us are not unlike the file icons on our computer desktops- while shaped like a small folder on our screens, the files themselves are made of a series of ones and zeros too complex for most of us to understand. Our visual perceptions are not a window onto reality, Hoffman shows us, but instead are interfaces constructed by natural selection.

In The Case Against Reality, pioneering cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman says- No, we see what we need in order to survive.
