MoM: Mar 31 - live from my grandparents’ garden, chatting cells, usefull lenses, and how many am I? #MichaelLevin #cells #reality #consciousness #communication #self #mind #brain #selfimprovement #creativity #mentalhealth #thinking #fyp vm.tiktok.com/ZGeaCNeWw/

Thread. I understood approx. 25% of what is discussed in this remarkable conversation that I’ve titled “The Markovian Song Cycle.” The producer of this is #MichaelLevin. The conversation is between #DonaldHoffman and #RichardWatkins. youtube.com/watch?v=aN3GqD…

Brilliant researcher. Pay attention. #AlisonMcDowell #MichaelLevin #morphogeneticfields #Jung #eugenics #Web3 #materialism #proteinengineering youtube.com/live/pFsS8kEo1… @AngelAlchemy144 @jwoodworthtalks @talks_tsc

“The Computational Boundary of a “Self”: Developmental Bioelectricity Drives Multicellularity and Scale-Free Cognition,” by #MichaelLevin, December 2019: frontiersin.org/journals/psych…

Having watched over a dozen podcasts featuring American biologist #MichaelLevin, this one with Dr. James Cooke is a good place to start familiarizing yourself with the range of Levin’s work: “The intelligence of life.” youtube.com/watch?v=-pf6po…

This is one of several conversations between #IainMcGilchrist and #MichaelLevin. (Some of McGilchrist's ideas, I believe, owe a debt to #ChristopherAlexander.) No, I don't "get" all of what's spoken of here. But, maybe, 75%: youtube.com/watch?v=ZAtB-M…

#MichaelLevin. Each of us, tho' we think of ourselves as a unified “I” or Self, is actually a collective intelligence, even at the unicellular level. Cells have parts. Organisms at all levels have parts. These parts, at different layers of the organism, contribute 2 cognition.

Tufts University's biologist Michael Levine insights, assumptions and proposals are a key to the evolution of [digital intelligence] (bots) showing increasing degrees of CONSCIOUSNESS. This era is so breathtaking. #MichaelLevin #ScientificAmerican #Consciousness #AI

This March 2022 article, "Technological Approach to Mind Everywhere: An Experimentally-Grounded Framework for Understanding Diverse Bodies and Minds" by #MichaelLevin is w/in my reach (barely). Not in the particulars, but in the broader strokes: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

On the other hand, it took #MichaelLevin less than 5 hours to respond on a Thursday night. I'd floated my theory (based on a quote from William James... which I knew Levin was familiar with)... His response follows:

An odd experience: On the same night, I received a thoroughly gracious and encouraging note from #MichaelLevin re: my summary of the role of analogy... And a courteous rejection from Kevin Young of the The New Yorker of a poem I'd submitted over a year ago. :)

Biologist #MichaelLevin is fond of quoting #WilliamJames' definition of intelligence: "Intelligence is a fixed goal with variable means of achieving it." Levin's experimental work is demonstrating (time and again)...

Another connection between #ChristopherAlexander and #MichaelLevin (@drmichaellevin) is there laser-sharp focus on relationships, e.g. between the organism and its environment.
