Michael Levin explores the morphogenetic code that governs development, regeneration, and consciousness, highlighting groundbreaking experiments with xenobots and cellular reprogramming. The conversation also tackles the implications for health, identity, and future technologies.- 00:00:00 - Introduction- 00:03:35 - An overview of Michael's results of code that isn't genomic- 00:07:08 - What's the standard view in development biology? (compare and contrast)- 00:08:30 - Regenerating limbs on animals which don't have regenerative properties (watch this first)- 00:17:01 - Why did it take so long to discover this momentous result?- 00:20:42 - Precisely what is voltage and what's being visualized?- 00:23:23 - DNA encodes hardware, and Michael discovered the software- 00:27:22 - Taking a cancerous cell and making it non-cancerous, and vice versa- 00:32:23 - What is the Self? (on identity and ego)- 00:33:55 - Living robots (xenobots)- 00:44:50 - The terms "alive" and "dead" are almost useless now- 00:47:15 - Perception and the morphogenetic code- 00:51:06 - Immortality is possible in flatworms... What about humans?- 00:52:18 - Jungian archetypes and their relation to the morphogenetic code- 00:54:38 - Curt believes this is Nobel prize winning work- 00:55:53 - [Rupert Sheldrake] Morphogenetic fields vs code- 00:57:05 - Engineering xenobots to clean up the environment- 00:58:17 - 5G and its possible effects?- 01:00:32 - Microbiome and the non-neural electric imprints- 01:02:34 - How do you decode the code? What factors go are in play?- 01:05:57 - Psychedelics ⇒ change in morphogenetics?- 01:07:13 - The least action principle, intelligence, and the "intention" of particles- 01:16:18 - Studying consciousness is a first person activity, not a third person- 01:18:13 - [Faraz Honarvar] Does the code differ between people?- 01:19:48 - Morphoceuticals- 01:22:03 - [Nadia Markova] How does the ML algorithm work, specifically?- 01:23:46 - [Sam Thompson] Biological self-emergence is "proto-algorithmic"?- 01:28:36 - [Thane] Should we regenerate? Isn't it beneficial to NOT regenerate?- 01:31:23 - [Tom] Penrose's and Hameroff's Orch OR- 01:35:59 - [Mo Flow] Biological clock, aging, and David Sinclair- 01:38:29 - [Nate Grundmann] Placebo, healing yourself with your mind, and Joe Dispenza - 01:44:53 - Future projects of Prof. Michael Levin- 01:46:01 - Consciousness and developmental biology are relatedSPONSORS:- Brilliant – 20% off: https://brilliant.org/TOE- Algo Podcast YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9IfRw1QaTglRoX0sN11AQQ- Algo website: https://www.algo.com/RESOURCES:- YouTube link: https://youtu.be/Z0TNfysTazc- Merch (until end of Oct 2021): https://tinyurl.com/TOEmerch- Patreon: https://patreon.com/curtjaimungal- Crypto: https://tinyurl.com/cryptoTOE- PayPal: https://tinyurl.com/paypalTOE- Twitter: https://twitter.com/TOEwithCurt- Discord Invite: https://discord.com/invite/kBcnfNVwqs- iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/better-left-unsaid-with-curt-jaimungal/id1521758802- Pandora: https://pdora.co/33b9lfP- Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gL14b92xAErofYQA7bU4e- Subreddit r/TheoriesOfEverything: https://reddit.com/r/theoriesofeverything- http://betterleftunsaidfilm.com Learn more about your ad choices.
