| 0:00.0 | This is an episode that's been almost one year in the making the theologution of Donald Hoffman and Yoshabakh, |
| 0:07.3 | both of whom should be extremely familiar to you if you've surveyed this channel before, |
| 0:11.5 | as we've done an unduly technical dive into Donald Hoffman's research papers, |
| 0:15.5 | and we've spoken to Yoshabakh several times before as well. |
| 0:18.9 | If you're unfamiliar, Donald Hoffman is a professor at the University of Irvine, California, |
