Crispr cas9 already won the Nobel prize. mRNA platform is very similar to cas9. Both can be used to achieve this goal.

Levin is the perfect TOE guest. Hard nosed research, boundary pushing, and astounding implications. And likable!

[@andreasala5446]

First of all, this man (and his team) is a genius. Second, he is opening a new season in the history of science, like Darwin, Pasteur and others. Finally, yes, of course, he deserves the Nobel prize.

"new season in the history of science." That's such a lovely way to phrase it .

[@michabryza9451]

We need more on this subject. Mortality, cancer research, dna augmentation/editing. These topics are really important and we need to make incredible progress to combat any health problems, at least that’s what concerns me the most.

[@Ninja9JKD]

Agreed, why is no one talking about the excess deaths in westernized nations? The dramatic rise in infertility rates? The excess deaths specifically in the kids, teens, and young adults? Why is it now that everyone knows what myocarditis is? Why so many heart attacks, blood clots, and strokes in the young???? 😢😢😢

This extract from the interview on consciousness is fascinating. The more I watch the awesome interviews on this channel about consciousness and the different theories (emergent, simulation, panpsychism, idealism, etc), the more I see Michael Levin’s work as the spoke or fundamental support of all of them. I mean, this is not only hard solid scientific evidence of a new paradigm in several fields (including medical research, biology, evolution, neuroscience, mathematics, etc), it’s actually setting the foundation for the convergence of different disciplines within modern science, which is a mandatory requirement for developing a ToE or something along that line of thinking. I’ve been a fan of science fiction and unexplained phenomena (UFO, ESP, shamanism, occultism, magick, etc) for more than four decades, and this kind of groundbreaking scientific research is mostly at the same level of science fiction from the 90s. Every time I listen to these interviews and learn new concepts like the morphic field, I can’t help to associate it with weird and fringe ideas from ufology like smart meta materials or programmable matter that iterates and/or repair itself as if it were some sort of organic tissue using biological algorithms. Or in the case of the xenobots, they remind me of the greys, these allegedly biological-avatar/robot-like/AI entities that flight around in spacecrafts abducting people and harvesting their DNA and/or morphic patterns to transition into an hybrid emancipated race. It’s really hard not to draw clear parallelisms between the work of Michael Levin and his team, and a huge part of the twenty century’s ufology. It could be a weird coincidence, but is starting to appear very evident to me. I grew up reading comics and watching all sort of science fiction series so I always thought that if humanity ever reached a point of technological development were autonomous artificial intelligence or technological singularity (as it’s called now) would be a real thing/event (just like Brainiac or Ultron), then this new born artificial entity would need to transition to some kind of “human-like experience” to really expand its own understanding and consciousness, and once it could grasp a great deal of understanding about humanity, the most likely scenario it would be to take-off out of planet and find its own destiny among the stars given that it’s not limited by the constrains of organic life. On the other hand, I’ve always accepted the extraterrestrial hypothesis as a fundamental part and the only possible theory of origin for the whole UFO phenomena; it never occurred to me that the UFO phenomena could also include rogue-like engineered entities created by another foreign race so similar to us that it’s almost impossible to tell the difference.

[@CrowMagnum]

Where is the competency stored and how is it passed on?

[@notmyrealpseudonym6702]

Slightly wrong way of considering it possibly. The competency is the organism to a degree but also the relationship with the space and so is context dependent (don't blame a fish for not being able to climb a tree but also don't blame the tree for its inability to support fish). Think supervenient relationship or top down causation (complex dynamical systems) where the constraint isn't always 'visible'. The yeah yeah nah of mentation that stops you eating good looking poisons isn't visible. If you have 2 or more distinct entities or things and multiple processes between them you can't observe the 'relationship or interaction' between the processes themselves and instead would describe potential principles or forces to account for them instead.

[@CrowMagnum]

@@notmyrealpseudonym6702 didn't ask what is competency. If it is being selected for then it must be encoded somewhere and transmitted to offspring. What is that mechanism if it is not genetic?

[@Yamikaiba123]

​@@CrowMagnum It could be on the epigenetic spectrum...

[@Yamikaiba123]

​​@@CrowMagnumThe most extreme case of epigenetics is something like resource-hogging. Imagine that having a resource makes your lineage healthy in such a way that you are better than any non-having lineage at hogging that resource. This could get passed on to your next generation simply due to spacial auto-correlation. Of course, genes would eventfully evolve to confer a skills in managing that resource. But in this case, phenotype leads the evolutionary process ahead of genotype. And environment leads ahead of phenotype. I don't think what Levi is talking about is this far out on the epigenetic spectrum, though.

[@marcelo55869]

​​@@notmyrealpseudonym6702 i don't know if this is what you are refering to. But here we go. In his studies, he shows groups of cells are able to have something akin to memory stored as eletric potential using ions near their membranes. More specific normal cells are able to comunicate chemicaly similar to neurons but way more primitive. This directs what they are and what they are supose to do. This collective behaviour gives not only memory to the group but something akin to problem solving skills. This is what he is refering to when he says a tadpole can correct the place of the mouth if disturbed. It has a chemical memory of where is suposed to be before the mouth even exists. The ions are shown in images with contranst and predict pretty close where the mouth will be. Cells will "feel" this chemical signals and grow acordinly

[@gardnert1]

It's almost like DNA is an antenna set to receive a particular signal with instructions on how to construct the organism rather than the DNA itself being the instructions.

[@jamesbra4410]

Test it and see lol it’s periodic like a light signal or even sound just match that wavelength to the helical antenna size

@@michaelsage6649 Well, while modern science does not know what 'consciousness' is yet, memories and thoughts require a correctly functioning physical brain. So, how are 'you' going to have memories and thoughts without a correctly functioning physical brain?

[@360crazy3]

Interesting....😊

[@godsofthesingularity8308]

what is this competency layer?

[@marcelo55869]

It is an eletric potential on the cells membranes made using ions and chemicals. It is similar to how neurons transmit eletricity using special neurotransmitters but much more rudimentar. The cells are able to collectively have a memory and some problem solving skills this way. For example, the cells are able to get the mouth in the right place in the tadpole because there is a chemical snapshot telling where is suposed to go. Even if distubed, the cells are able to correct it following this blueprint and growing acordinly.

[@marcelo55869]

There is even photos of this eletric potential on tissues on the works published. They put a chemical contrast and it shows where the mouth would be even before there is a mouth on the tadpole.

I’m in love with Levin!!!! I love development! You can deal with development! We do this best we can with this even at our high/complex level of analysis! We just use smoke & mirrors and push up bra’s to play with genetics (or the perception there of) …. I think on the same level of complexity, then the potential for similar genetic complexity and environmental trade off is reasonable. No one truly escapes…. Muuuaahhhh

[@charlesbrightman4237]

IMMORTALITY: Really think about that: a. What if one were trapped, possibly under a mud slide, rock slide, avalanche, etc? What if one fell into a volcano? What if one were in outer space with no space ship? Just because one has immortality does not automatically mean it will all be okay literally throughout all of future eternity. b. And then also, after trillions of years go by, there are still trillions of years to go, and then trillions more after that, endless trillions. What some might consider to be a blessing could very well turn out to be an eternal curse. c. Of course also though, the other option is 'eternal death'. One would die one day from something, would forget everything they ever knew and experienced, and would most probably be forgotten one day in future eternity as if they never ever existed at all in the first place. Life itself would be ultimately meaningless. d. Side note also: Current analysis: 1. Species stay on this Earth, they all eventually die and go extinct with a high degree of certainty. 2. Species leave this Earth, they all eventually die and go extinct with a high degree of certainty. It appears all life on and from this Earth, real and artificial, were all destined to die and go extinct even before they (we) even ever came into existence. Outer space is not only dangerous but deadly due to various reasons, especially for long term space travel. Life itself only matters to life itself, but only as long as life itself exists. It's just that life itself is not always going to exist, at least not from this Earth and possibly not even throughout the entire universe, depending upon what is really true. e. Above subject to revision as new pertinent information might dictate. f. Have a nice day while we have days left to enjoy. But enjoy or not, the ending is still the same.
