As delusional as Bernardo Kastrup is about reality, Donald Hoffman, UC Irvine professor of cognitive psychology, is perhaps even more so. Together, these two leading academic “lights” on quantum-crapola idealism have become uber-popular icons for those who worship at the altar of anti-reality.

To those in the know, the first evidence that Hoffman is philosophically challenged is his adoration of fogged-out pop guru Eckhart Tolle, his primary spiritual influence. If Hoffman didn’t live in a spiritual-intellectual bubble, he’d know about and have read my book Beyond the Power of Now: A Guide to, and Beyond, Eckhart Tolle’s Teachings, which not only deconstructs the rampant poppycock permeating Tolle’s magnum opus The Power of Now, but presents spiritual Dharma on a level a quantum leap beyond Tolle’s text.
In addition to his infatuation with Tolle, Hoffman also vibes with A Course in Miracles, a second-rate quasi-Christian mysticism course that should be titled “A Course in Spiritual Trash,” which anybody steeped in real Christian mysticism would toss into a garbage bin or donate to a local Goodwill store.
