What are the best competing theories of consciousness? Can we isolate where it arises and measure how complex it is? How do 5meo DMT mystical or non-separation experiences shift worldviews on consciousness?In this episode we have the very theme of the podcast's title to delve into, the quest to understand the nature of consciousness. So we discuss mind and self, and what kind of substrate you need to allow for subjective experience; we look at the various philosophical positions on the nature of consciousness and ways to move beyond the unwinnable argument around the hard problem; we talk about extended cognition and cellular cognition; how integrated information theory attempts to quantify consciousness; the origin of meaning; psychedelics and the implications of mystical experiences of non-separation; whether AI will ever become conscious; and the implications of plant intelligence and memory.There's only one person who can speak about such a wide range of topics this well, one of the most passionate consciousness researchers in the world for over 40 years, physicist and neuroscientist, Christof Koch. He's Chief Scientist at the BlueDot Foundation, and has authored and co-authored over 1000 scientific papers and 6 books, including “The Quest for Consciousness”, “Confessions of a Romantic Reductionst” and “Then I am myself the World”, which we'll be focussing on today. What we discuss:00:00 His migration from physics to neuroscience.06:10 “Take no one's word for it”.07:50 His long-term Francis Crick collaboration.10:00 The signatures, footprints and correlates of consciousness.17:50 The empirical approach to the philosophical ‘Hard problem'.21:00 Metaphysics isn't empirical.21:40 The issues along the spectrum from materialism to idealism.29:00 “The great divide of being” - quotidian vs dissociated states.33:15 Is the self an illusion?34:15 The difference between self consciousness and subjective experience.38:00 “Confessions of a romantic reductionist”.41:00 Meaning is not an empirical subject.44:30 Integrated information theory explained - existence as casual power.52:50 The placebo effect is consciousness causally influencing the world.01:00:00 Computational theories of consciousness.01:03:10 The connectome: an exact brain replica in a simulation.01:05:10 Extended cognition & the blurred boundaries between selves.01:09:30 Michael Levin: the hierarchy from cellular to collective cognition.01:13:50 ‘Then I am myself the world' Book.01:14:40 5meoDMT: His mystical & NDE experiences.01:21:40 Lowering of the DMN in non-self like experiences like flow, meditation, day-dreaming, or psychedelics.01:24:00 To be real, experiences must have causal power.01:27:25 Perspective shift after psychedelics.01:30:50 Plant consciousness, intelligence, communication & memory.References: www.christofkoch.comScientific PapersChristof Koch, “Then I Am Myself the World: What Consciousness Is and How to Expand It the world”.Christof Koch, “Consciousness: Confessions of a romantic reductionist.”

A Computational Account of Borderline Personality Disorder: Impaired Predictive Learning About Self and Others Through Bodily SimulationIn this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer, Dr. Sarah Fineberg, and Dr. Philip Corlett explore an innovative computational psychiatry model of borderline personality disorder (BPD). Social dysfunction is a core feature of BPD, and this study proposes that individuals with BPD struggle with predictive learning about self and others due to deficits in embodied simulation—using one's own bodily experiences to infer the mental states of others. The discussion covers how computational models can help explain emotional dysregulation, attachment disruptions, and the instability of interpersonal relationships in BPD, offering new insights into treatment approaches. Tune in to discover how neuroscience, machine learning, and psychiatry intersect to deepen our understanding of personality disorders.Full Reference:Fineberg, S. K., Steinfeld, M., Brewer, J.

Traditional, unilateral, centralized control is obsolete. When autonomous systems generate orders of magnitude more data than they can transmit, intelligence must live at the edge - and this constraint is revolutionizing everything from spacecraft to supply chains to healthcare.William Van Dalsem, 42-year NASA veteran and Stanford adjunct lecturer, reveals why the future belongs to systems that think for themselves---not because it's elegant, but because physics demands it.The Paradigm Shift:→ The Edge Intelligence Imperative: Spacecraft orbiting Earth collect far more data than they can download---typically an order of magnitude difference. Factory sensors and autonomous vehicles face the same constraint. The bottleneck isn't computing power-it's bandwidth. Intelligence must live where decisions are made.→ From "What" to "How": Organizations fail by conflating objectives with methods. Saying you need to "land on Mars using retro rockets" eliminates every methodological alternative you haven't imagined. Separate the destination from the journey.→ The Modular Revolution: Van Dalsem's son built a state-of-the-art gaming computer from plug-and-play components---nearly supercomputer performance at home. What if spacecraft---or supply chains, or organizations---worked the same way? Standards enable innovation; vertical integration constrains it. Ecosystem Impact:→ Air traffic management evolved from one operator per aircraft to systems managing thousands of autonomous vehicles---the same pattern emerging in warehouse robotics, smart cities, and distributed manufacturing→ Google's autonomous vehicles trained on moon-and-back distances (250,000 miles), capturing 90-99% of scenarios, yet still encounter situations they haven't seen - AI lacks mental models of physical reality. When confused, systems must "phone home," whether navigating streetsor diagnosing patients→ The academia-industry-government "triad": diversity of perspective matters more than depth of expertise for solving novel problemsThe Strategic Insight: Self-aware systems must be designed from inception, not retrofitted. Adding sensors to a Model T after it has been built isn't feasible. GE's digital transformation showed that "industrial equipment" must become "smart equipment" architecturally, not as an afterthought.The Hidden Risk: LLMs hallucinate, lack context, and harm team dynamics when one "AI master" disconnects from collaborative processes. They're trained on historical data, embedding obsolete assumptions. Computational tools amplify, rather than replace, human judgment.Strategic Reframe: Where must decisions be made, and what intelligence lives at the edge versus the center? Whether managing drone fleets, manufacturing networks, or distributed teams, resilient ecosystems distribute cognition across nodes rather than concentrating it in command centers.The Van Dalsem Principle: When you specify both the "what" and the "how," you've eliminated every innovation you didn't imagine. Problem-focused innovation opens the aperture for solutions you might never imagine.Guest: William Van Dalsem, Retired NASA Ames, Adjunct Lecturer, Stanford UniversityHost: Dyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin WorksEcosystemic Futures is a systems foresight series provided by Shoshin Works, evolved from our collaboration with NASA's Convergent Aeronautics Solutions Project.

Textbooks don't just teach facts, they shape how children understand the world and their place in it. In this episode, UChicago economist Anjali Adukia discusses her study of textbooks across public schools, religious private schools, and homeschools. Using advanced AI tools to analyze tens of thousands of pages, she uncovers both unexpected similarities between politically divergent states and meaningful differences in how religious and secular curricula present topics from evolution to gender representation.

Dr. Maxwell Ramstead grills Guillaume Verdon (AKA “Beff Jezos”) who's the founder of Thermodynamic computing startup Extropic.Guillaume shares his unique path – from dreaming about space travel as a kid to becoming a physicist, then working on quantum computing at Google, to developing a radically new form of computing hardware for machine learning. He explains how he hit roadblocks with traditional physics and computing, leading him to start his company – building "thermodynamic computers." These are based on a new design for super-efficient chips that use the natural chaos of electrons (think noise and heat) to power AI tasks, which promises to speed up AND lower the costs of modern probabilistic techniques like sampling. He is driven by the pursuit of building computers that work more like your brain, which (by the way) runs on a banana and a glass of water! Guillaume talks about his alter ego, Beff Jezos, and the "Effective Accelerationism" (e/acc) movement that he initiated. Its objective is to speed up tech progress in order to “grow civilization” (as measured by energy use and innovation), rather than “slowing down out of fear”. Guillaume argues we need to embrace variance, exploration, and optimism to avoid getting stuck or outpaced by competitors like China. He and Maxwell discuss big ideas like merging humans with AI, decentralizing intelligence, and why boundless growth (with smart constraints) is “key to humanity's future”.REFS:1.
