The Case Against Reality: Why Evolution Hid the Truth from Our Eyes by Donald D. Hoffman
Philosophically shallow. Doesn’t address the problem of objective reality. The fact that a certain type of honey tastes too sweet for one person and less sweet for another is probably due to the different perception tools (taste buds) that a person possesses. The chemicals in the honey that make it sweet, are there and quantifiable, regardless of the taster. The discussion on the measurement problem in quantum physics is not relevant here, or at least no extrapolations in the context of consciousness/biology were convincingly shown here.
