Homo Falsus (Lying Man) explores the topic of human consciousness in a way that many people may have never considered. PhD physicist Boris Rusakov analyzes the functionality of human consciousness and determines that it consists of basic concepts, i.e. abstractions that mostly have nothing to do with reality. Only incidentally they sometimes do. He suggests a scenario of how human consciousness could have emerged in our animal ancestors. He redefines information in terms of concepts, and explains that information is a product of human consciousness. He presents a case that language emerged as necessary tool for tabulating and communicating concepts, which is essentially equivalent to lying, as well as guessing, and making things up.
This book dismantles numerous illusions and delusions that have been created by our consciousness. Even such seemingly tangible notions as color, smell, taste, and sound are all creations of our consciousness. They do not exist in nature. In nature there are colorless electromagnetic waves possessing only frequencies and amplitudes. It takes a brain to convert soundless acoustic waves into music. Similarly, sensations that our brains interpret as flavors and aromas are caused by tasteless and odorless molecules.
For the more sophisticated, Rusakov applies his observations to physics and explains that many concepts of physics are also delusions, even though they often work well. In particular, he revises the concepts of space, time, quantum mechanics, energy, gravity, electric charges, and forces of nature.
Homo Falsus will change many people's way of thinking and turn their view of the world upside down. The author's goal is to convert the reader from homo falsus (lying man) to homo sapiens (thinking man). This book will help you free yourself from the illusions and delusions created by your brain. After reading Homo Falsus, you will certainly look at everything differently.
