Focusing on morphogenesis as a model of collective intelligence, I talk about the intelligence ratchet that results from life's need to creatively interpret information on the cognitive, developmental, and evolutionary scale. I end with some speculative ideas about Platonic space and cognitive patterns therein, which radically enlarge the set of beings.\n\nTh...\n\nCHAPTERS:\n(00:00) Introduction: Body, Mind Symmetry\n(05:00) Diverse Biological Intelligence Examples\n(12:50) Multi-Scale Competency Architecture\n(19:00) Collective Morphospace Intelligence\n(24:00) Bioelectric Communication Interface\n(29:30) Rewriting Anatomical Memories\n(38:00) Selfhood and Collective Goals\n(46:00) Unreliable Substrate, Creative Problem-Solving\n(55:30) Exploring Novel Forms, Patterns\n(01:06:30) Summary and Future Research\nCONNECT WITH ME:\n\n    Podcast Website\nYouTube\nApple Podcasts\nSpotify\nTwitter\nBlog\nThe Levin Lab","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/RCb3ywMRujqkFlQk-NGcvqmCVXmLXgB9KEU-EgFeZJw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83NTUx/YzBhYjZjOWVmMTE4/YTAwZDMzOWRlZDcw/MzFjYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
