Michael Levin, I find myself watching you more and more, you are a deep thinker in a New direction. Patterns in mind, that are isomorphic to our perception of the external world. Carl Jung called these things archetypes. It helps people who are not academics, to access information that I know you know.
We already know that pattern. Don’t we. The Mandelbrot set has a beginning and an ending on the real number line. It is simultaneously infinite( borders )and finite (area). The Mandelbrot set is a mapping of connected Julia sets. Rotation, vibration, iteration What is it like to be a thing? What is the likeness of a thing? What kind of thing is any thing? What is the pattern, shape, topology, form, image of a thing? These are fractal to the fractal. Identifying a thing, a group of things necessarily identifies what that thing is like, its image and its kind. Energy, frequency, vibration Sounds, light, matter Condensation, minimal surface, web pattern Etc
@@davonbenson4361 what scientific breakthroughs has Levin made? He's just using needlessly fussy and overwrought rhetoric to make absurd, untestable, and unprovable claims that amount to claims about the existence of magic
@@christheghostwriter He codiscovered xenobots and is doing research into how cells self organize into both forms they evolved to organize into and novel forms, and a bunch of technical stuff with handedness and ion pumps. I'm not expressing an opinion on whether his world view is correct, whether his expressions of those views are manipulation tactics to obtain grant money, whether his work is legitimate or fluff, whether or not he is unfairly enriching himself, but I think the standard of evidence on these points needs to be higher given that he does have multiple peer reviewed publications. I'm open minded, I've seen these sorts of things play out both ways.
This guy is the archetype of people that believe that what they don't understand is something that comes from some gods, aliens or whatever magical things. What these people don't understand is that they could thank scientists and materialists/physicalist to be able to live in a modern society, mot in the middle ages like traditional religious society. Science is a method, a state of mind and a process of understanding the world around us, i.e. exercising and using human intelligence, which it seems they don't have. Sure, the modern world is far from perfect, but scientists are working hard to make it better. And these people who are tightened with their beliefs are making the progression slower. Let them go in the forest without running water, electricity and modern utilities and let's see how they behave. I think the smarter ones will revise their position soon once confronted with the harsh reality of materialism.
This is a good reminder to include bios in video description - I sometimes assume its only people who already know who Michael is who will watch. Here is his bio. (In summary, is is a celebrated scientist) "Michael Levin, a Distinguished Professor in the Biology department at Tufts, holds the Vannevar Bush endowed Chair and serves as director of the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts and the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology. Recent honors include the Scientist of Vision award and the Distinguished Scholar Award. He is also an associate member of the Wyss Institute at Harvard (wyss.harvard.edu/team/associate-faculty/michael-levin-ph-d/). His group works at the intersection of developmental biology, artificial life, bioengineering, synthetic morphology, and cognitive science. Seeking general principles of life-as-it-can-be, they use a wide range of natural animal models and also create novel synthetic and chimeric life forms. Their goal is to develop conceptual frameworks and practical tools that help detect, understand, predict, and communicate with truly diverse intelligences, including cells, tissues, organs, synthetic living constructs, robots, and software-based AIs. His mission is to develop fundamental understanding of how minds of all kinds arise, scale, persist, and change, and to use that knowledge to benefit the embodied experience of sentient beings, through biomedicine and beyond.
@@adventuresinawarenesswhat's the practical outcome of his research!!? Nothing yet ...right... Btw, is he working with the platonic world he is bullshitting about or the real world!!?
@@alEx-isca. Lol, I hope you realize Math is a form of Metaphysics. You can’t come up with generalized formulas, just by observing physical things. You have to abstract patterns from the things that you analyze. And, there’s still poor 3rd world countries, despite the technological advances that have been made, which proves that ethnical issues can’t be solved by materialism alone.
So eye opening! I will see life and the world in a much different way.
Peace is a timeless feeling.

Is the podcast feed not being updated?
There's a delay whilst we find a new assistant to help! New material is just on youtube for the next couple of weeks. Thanks for your patience!
Materialism is dead.
We already know that pattern. Don’t we.
The Mandelbrot set has a beginning and an ending on the real number line.
It is simultaneously infinite( borders )and finite (area).
The Mandelbrot set is a mapping of connected Julia sets.
Rotation, vibration, iteration
What is it like to be a thing? What is the likeness of a thing?
What kind of thing is any thing?
What is the pattern, shape, topology, form, image of a thing?
These are fractal to the fractal.
Identifying a thing, a group of things necessarily identifies what that thing is like, its image and its kind.
Energy, frequency, vibration
Sounds, light, matter
Condensation, minimal surface, web pattern
Etc
@@MS-od7je what
This is called Computational Reducibility
There are bo physical objects. Its so simple
Marge Simpson peeking over your shoulder is distracting 👀
I can do a timeless feeling.
I can make someone timeless out of something perishable.
What a biological system can do is not predictable mathematical.
Thank you for reminding us.
Topnotch
Levin’s worldview allows him and those like him to earn vast amounts of cash while preaching untestable nonsense. Nice gig.
@@craigswanson8026 it's a 21st century repackaging of the same bvllsh1t that underpins religion
Lol, what scientific breakthroughs have your worldview produced?

@paulfoss5385 he took some credit for zenobots, sure, but he's also a woo-selling grifter

So you didn’t listen, made a vast amount of assumptions, and lashed out with pure straw-manning, and you still imagine you’re a serious thinker?
