Michael Levin: The Morphogenetic Code That Governs All Life

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?

(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 Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal features long-form, technically detailed interviews with leading researchers in physics, mathematics, consciousness, and philosophy, exploring topics at the level of active research.
