Karl Friston – Curt Jaimungal

Karl Friston, a pioneering neuroscientist behind the free energy principle, joins Curt Jaimungal to discuss how this theory reshapes our understanding of brain function, Markov blankets, and the physics of perception. The conversation also examines temporal scales and the broader implications for reality.- 00:00 - Intr

Karl Friston and Anna Lembke argue that we must urgently reassess personal and societal habits amid environmental, mental‑health, and addiction crises, using the active inference framework. They explore how this perspective can guide more resilient and compassionate responses.SPONSORS:- Patreon: https://patreon.com/cur
