Voicecraft

Dr Michael Levin's pioneering research on bioelectricity, morphogenesis, and cognition is reshaping our understanding of how living systems self-organize and regenerate. He explores how cells and tissues communicate through bioelectrical signals, guiding the formation of complex structures without relying solely on genetic instructions. He is a Distinguished Professor in Biology at Tufts University, working at the intersection of biology, computer science, and cognitive science. This dialogue explores meanings of influence, value, transhumanism, minds, collective intelligence, and the philosophical and scientific implications of Dr. Michael Levin's work. --- Access the shownotes & learn more about Voicecraft podcasts, events, courses and membership network @ https://www.voicecraft.io/content/e129-influence-value-transhumanism-questions-for-the-frontiers-of-biology-and-technology-w/-dr-michael-levin-tim-adalin SUPPORT the channel on Patreon @ https:///www.patreon.com/voicecraft 0:00 Introduction, Influence and Approach 1:19 TAME Framework and Mind Everywhere 10:07 The Spectrum of Persuadability 18:43 Creating Novel Beings and Personal Transformation 24:09 We Don't Create, We Participate 32:56 Intelligence vs Cognition Key Differences 39:31 Value Is Primary, Not Emergent 45:51 Transhumanism vs Hyperhumanism Discussion 52:55 The Cognitive Light Cone Concept 57:10 Technology & Value Listen to the full intro song by Cantrips titled 'The Big Break' @ https://youtu.be/Qaj-stBL4W0

With influence from philosophy and psychonautic experience, this dialogue explores the forking path of humanity’s relation with technology. One way proposes hyperhumanism, which seeks to enhance humanity through the mindful use of technology. The other, transhumanism, promises 'transcendence' as an escape from the lack in humanity. Featuring Carl Hayden Smith, founder of the Museum of Consciousness, hyperhuman theorist and extended state DMT pioneer, in a Voicecraft dialogue with philosopher and consciousness theorist Cameron Duffy. --- ACCESS the shownotes & learn more about Voicecraft podcasts, events, courses and membership network @ https://www.voicecraft.io/content/e127-are-we-human-yet-dmtx-the-future-of-consciousness-carl-hayden-smith-in-dialogue-with-cameron-duffy SUPPORT THE CHANNEL on PATREON @ https:///www.patreon.com/voicecraft Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:58 The central question: "Are we human yet?" 03:14 The problem with transhuman and post-human theories 06:35 Species in amnesia and technological context 15:13 Mycelium networks and sharing wisdom 21:20 Learning to die before you die 26:07 Practical hyperhumanism and technology use 30:35 Context engineering and sensory awareness 40:00 DMTx, Cybernaut and psychonaut exploration 46:17 Healing from healing culture 50:30 Entities and consciousness exploration 1:10:57 Jean Gebser's stages of consciousness 1:13:58 Strife, love, and creating beautiful contexts Listen to the full intro song by Cantrips titled 'The Big Break' @ https://youtu.be/Qaj-stBL4W0
