(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.
