You've probably come across the "free energy principle." It's become one of the most influential ideas in the broader cognitive sciences. Since the neuroscientist Karl Friston first introduced it in 2005, the theory has been fleshed out, extended, generalized, criticized, and cited thousands and thousands of times. But what is this idea, exactly? What does it say about the nature of brains and minds? What does it say about the phenomenon of life itself? And is anything that it says really that new? My guest today is Dr. Kate Nave. Kate is a philosopher at the University of Edinburgh and the author of the new book, A Drive to Survive: The Free Energy Principle and the Meaning of Life. In the book, Kate offers an extended critical analysis of the free energy principle and situates it in a broader landscape of ideas about the nature of life and mind. In this conversation, Kate and I talk about how the free energy principle has changed over time, from its beginnings as a theory of cortical responses in the brain to its eventual status as a theory of... well, a lot. We discuss why this theory has had such an enormous influence, and we talk about how many of the key ideas behind it actually have a long history. We consider some kindred spirits of the free energy framework— approaches like cybernetics, enactivism, predictive processing, and autopoiesis. We walk through a series of questions that all these approaches have long grappled with. Questions like: What does it mean to be alive? What is the relationship between being alive and being cognitive? What are the roles of prediction and representation in cognition? And we ask how—if it all—the free energy principle gives us new answers to these old questions. Along the way, Kate and I touch on: surprisal, visual phenomenology, vitalism, Husserl and Merleau-Ponty, Maturana and Varela, pendulums and bacteria, computation and models, primordial purposiveness, pancakes, and whether we'll ever be able to create artificial life. As you might be able to tell from the description I just gave, this conversation goes pretty deep—and it does get a bit technical. It dives down into the history and philosophy around some of the most foundational questions we can ask about minds. If that sounds like your cup of tea, enjoy. Alright friends, on to my conversation with Dr. Kate Nave!   A transcript of this episode will be posted soon.   Notes and links 5:00 – The 2005 paper in which Karl Friston proposed the principle of free energy minimization. Friston later generalized the ideas here and here. 14:00 – For influential philosophical work on action in perception, see Alva Nöe's book, Action in Perception. 17:00 – One of the classic works in the “enactivist” tradition is Evan Thompson's book, Mind in Life. 18:00 – The actual quip, credited to Carl Sagan, is about “apple pie” not pancakes: “If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.” 20:00 – The notion of “autopoiesis” (or “self-creation”) was introduced by Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela in their book, Autopoiesis and Cognition. 24:00 – A classic paper of cybernetics from 1943, ‘Behavior, purpose, and teleology.' 37:00 – For more on the idea of “predictive processing,” see our earlier episode with Dr. Mark Miller. 43:00 – For a discussion of the idea of “representation” in the philosophy of cognitive science, see here.

In 1846, fourteen-year-old Angelique Cottin became known as the "Electric Girl" when she unleashed an unexplainable force that sent furniture flying, baffled scientists, and terrified priests, all while her family sought fortune from her mysterious powers.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TVIN THIS EPISODE: In 1846, a 14-year-old peasant girl from rural France caught the attention of the country and eventually the world because of a strange current of electricity running through her. Angelique Cottin, a girl of small stature, was suddenly and uncontrollably moving furniture weighing hundreds of pounds across the room. In the end, over 2,000 witnesses saw the unexplainable phenomenon. Of the few recorded cases of psychokinesis throughout history, even fewer are as bizarre as the story of Angelique Cottin, AKA the Poltergeist Girl. (The Poltergeist Girl) *** The Codex Gigas... a colossal manuscript steeped in mystery. Not just in it's pages, but in its origin. Is it true that a monk penned the pages after striking a deal with the devil in order to complete it? (Codex Gigas: The Devil's Bible) *** When you think of people living in medieval times, what do you see? People with bad teeth and breath? Witches being burned? Women had no rights or jobs? People tossed their urine and feces in the street? They thought the earth was flat? Hold up… are you sure about that last one? (The Dark Ages And The Flat Earth) *** In 1941, in the quiet town of Media, Pennsylvania, a horrific crime shocked the community. Two elderly sisters, Elizabeth Watson and Belle Geary, were brutally attacked, leading to Elizabeth's death and Belle's prolonged suffering. As authorities honed in on a suspect, 14-year-old John Leeds emerged as the prime candidate. Despite his confession, his mother staunchly defended him, sparking a legal battle that gripped the nation. (The Octogenarian Murders) *** Are whales dangerous? Most would note that, given from the danger associated with such a large animal, there is a certain risk in getting close to one. But most would also note that whales have a curious, gentle temperament and physical violence from one is very unlikely. Unless, that is, you consider those times when they literally explode.

A flood of government regulations, mandates, and subsidies has not solved the United States' health care problems—they are the problem. They have driven the average employer-plan family premium to nearly $26,000—and then tossed families out of their health insurance when employees leave their jobs. Even as Obamacare creates an insurance shortage, it has nevertheless grown so unaffordable that enrollees earning $200,000 per year get $12,000 in subsidies. Growing federal debt threatens Medicare and Medicaid patients' access to necessary care.Reforms circulating on Capitol Hill are not up to the challenge. Some propose more regulations, mandates, and subsidies. Yet if that approach worked, it would have already. Even reforms that are directionally correct fall far short of what is necessary to restore individual rights and make health care more universal.At this two-panel forum, leading health policy scholars will offer meaningful and potentially bipartisan reforms that would bring relief to struggling patients, workers, and taxpayers.The first panel, “Who's Afraid of Cutting Health Spending?” (9:00 a.m.–10:30 a.m.), will feature Michael Cannon, Robin Hanson, and Mark Miller. Panelists will discuss the many opportunities to eliminate excessive spending—opportunities that close observers of Medicare and Medicaid know about but the public does not. Hosted on Acast.

I really enjoyed learning about Cleaner Safer Water from Mark Miller, the CEO and Founder of this affordable, lifetime water filtration system. It just makes sense to have something like this in case of power outage. I'm still in awe of not having to buy filters for it ever, AND that it can provider water for up to 300 people! 1 system could take care of a whole neighborhood!Mark tells us all about the system, and gives some examples of how it works, and how helpful it has been for people who have it. These are Mark's words:"There is now a guaranteed way for you to have pure water for life. Enough for you, your family, and up to 300 other people in any emergency no matter how long it lasts. Even if there is no electricity. And a way to help the ecosystem by drastically reducing the number of plastic water bottles. You can now have better health with pure water for life and always be prepared for any emergency." You know I'm all about the reducing plastic water bottles part; but providing water to 300 neighbors is pretty attractive!Learn all about Safer Cleaner Water by listening!Mark's website https://safercleanerwater.comFacebook link is here: https://www.facebook.com/SaferCleanerWaterOfficialInstagram is here: https://www.instagram.com/safercleanerwater/YouTube channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/@SaferCleanerWaterYou can send me messages(this is new!)!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)How Do I Get There From Here by Jane Bolduc - listen to more at https://www.janebolduc.com/Podcast cover by Becca Kofron- follow here on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/cute_but_loud/ and check out her awesome art projects.

About Mark Miller:Mark is dedicated to helping health-conscious individuals to ensure that they have clean, healthy water in all situations: for drinking water, cooking and cleaning, and especially during emergencies.And not only enough for your own benefit, but also to be able to help others when there is an emergency even if there is no electricity.Mark is the owner of Safer Cleaner Water, and he is on a mission to help raise awareness around the importance of safe, clean water in all homes, given that water is our most vital, life-giving and necessary resource.In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Mark Miller discuss:Importance of having access to clean, safe water during emergenciesLimitations of relying on bottled water or grocery stores during power outagesAffordable, long-lasting water filtration system that works without electricityEcological benefits of reducing plastic bottle wasteNonprofit "water pool" to provide water systems to those in needKey Takeaways:Natural disasters and power outages can disrupt access to clean water, leaving people vulnerable, and Mark's water filtration system provides a reliable solution to ensure safe drinking water in any emergency.Mark's three-in-one system not only saves users money compared to constantly buying bottled water, but it also reduces plastic waste, making it an environmentally-friendly choice for the long-term.Integrating Mark's water system into high-ticket health programs can create unique opportunities for entrepreneurs to differentiate their offerings.Jennie's idea to donate her affiliate commissions to Mark's nonprofit "water pool" demonstrates how businesses can collaborate to make a positive impact on communities in need of clean water access.In the realm of identifying and solving problems, Mark recognized an overlooked issue - the lack of preparedness for water emergencies - and developed an innovative solution. "If only two people use it for drinking water, instead of having to buy bottled water, that would save them 300% more than what they paid for the system in one year.” — Mark MillerConnect with Mark Miller:  Facebook Name: https://www.facebook.com/mark.miller.9638/Facebook Business Page: https://www.facebook.com/SaferCleanerInstagram Business Link: https://www.instagram.com/safercleanerwater/Link to Gift from Mark Miller:Want to check out the Safer Cleaner Water filtration system? Go to https://safercleanerwater.com and use code BADASS to SAVE SOME MONEY on the system!Want to connect to Mark to discover more about becoming an affiliate for the Safer Cleaner Water system? Send him an email to mark@safercleanerwater.comWant to donate to the Safer Cleaner Water Pool? Go to safercleanerwater.com to make your donation!Connect with Jennie:Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/Email:  jennie@badassdirectsalesmastery.comFacebook personal page: https://facebook.com/jbellingerPLFacebook podcast page: http://facebook.com/BadassDirectSalesMasteryFacebook group for Badass Crew: https://facebook.com/groups/BadassDirectSalesMomsInstagram: https://instagram.com/BadassDirectSalesMasteryPersonal Instagram: https://instagram.com/jenniebellingerLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/BadassDirectSalesMasteryThe Badass Direct Sales Mastery Podcast is currently sponsored by the following:Bella Grace Elixir: https://shopbellagrace.com/?ref=jenniebadassdirectsalesmasteryLeadBuddy Digital Marketing: Use code BDSM when checking out at https://leadbuddy.io/pro-monthly-9310?am_id=jennie582Show Notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Mark Miller from the Pacific Legal Foundation talks about the TikTok "free speech vs. national security" case that's being heard today (Friday, Jan. 10) by the US Supreme Court. From Pacific Legal Foundation: This Friday, January 10, the Supreme Court will hear two hours of oral arguments in a high-stakes case that pits free speech against national security. At issue is TikTok’s appeal to block enforcement of the 2024 Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which mandates TikTok’s shutdown in the U.S. unless parent company ByteDance divests its operations by January 19. The Stakes: TikTok’s Argument: With 170 million U.S. users, TikTok argues the law unconstitutionally silences “one of America’s most popular speech platforms,” violating the First Amendment. The Government’s Stance: ByteDance’s ties to China pose a national security threat, as the Chinese government could exploit user data. The lower court upheld the law, citing its bipartisan roots and focus on addressing foreign adversary threats. But SCOTUS will now weigh in. The Twist: President-Elect Donald J. Trump filed a surprising amicus brief, urging the Court to delay its decision so he can negotiate a deal to keep TikTok operational in the U.S. Focus issues: The First Amendment and national security implications. The broader legal implications of U.S.-China tech tensions. What this decision means for millions of American TikTok users.

Question - "How does Jhana meditation simplify experience to facilitate insight and cognitive flexibility?" John Vervaeke is joined by Mark Miller, Rick Repetti, to explore the intersection of predictive processing, relevance realization, and embodied cognition in contemplative practices. They introduce PhD candidate Jonas Mago, who discusses his research on Jhana meditation and its impact on cognitive flexibility and insight. The conversation touches on contrasting Jhana practices with charismatic Christian traditions such as speaking in tongues. They also explore how Jhana states temporarily reduce the complexity of perception, allowing practitioners to observe the construction and deconstruction of their experiential models. The neuroscientific evidence provided, such as changes in brain responses during these states, adds depth to this exploration, illustrating how such simplification can lead to profound insights. Mark Miller, a philosopher and cognitive scientist, holds a senior research fellowship at Monash University's Center for Consciousness and Contemplative Studies in Australia, with affiliations at the University of Toronto and Hokkaido University in Japan. His work, which dives into the interplay between human thought, technology's impact on well-being, and human-computer interaction, is at the forefront of integrating cognitive neuroscience with philosophical inquiry. Rick Repetti is Professor of Philosophy at Kingsborough Community College, CUNY, USA. He is the author of The Counterfactual Theory of Free Will (2010), as well as several articles on Buddhism, meditation, free will, and philosophy of religion. Jonas Mago is a cognitive neuroscientist and wellbeing aficionado, deeply invested in understanding the cognitive and neurobiological mechanisms underlying human flourishing. His research explores contemplative practices designed to cultivate wholesome states of mind—spanning meditation, prayer, collective cultural rituals, and psychedelic therapies. I approach these topics from an interdisciplinary perspective, integrating cognitive science, neurobiology, computational modeling, and phenomenology to investigate mechanisms of self-regulation and transformation. He is currently pursuing my doctoral studies in Neuroscience at McGill University under the supervision of Dr. Michael Lifshitz, with co-supervision from Prof. Dr. Karl Friston. His academic journey includes a master's degree in Mind, Language, and Embodied Cognition from the University of Edinburgh (UK) and undergraduate studies in Liberal Arts and Sciences at University College Maastricht (Netherlands).

Welcome to a Leader Fluent Podcast Series based on my book, Insanely Practical Leadership: 12 No-Nonsense Keys to Master the Art of Leading Yourself and Others. For the next few podcast episodes, I'll be sharing teaching from the Masterclass for the book. It's a great way to get a taste of what's in the book, and the insanely practical skills you'll develop. You can learn more about Insanely Practical Leadership and the bonus content that goes with the book HERE. Personal and professional growth help you become the person, and the leader, God intended for you to become. As a leader, you are responsible to own your growth. You can't delegate it or negotiate it. You can't relegate it or vacate it. In fact, authors Ken Blanchard and Mark Miller said it like this: “Growth for leaders is the treasure that funds the future journey. Stop finding the treasure along the way and the journey ends.”  As a leader, you have a dream burning in your gut. But between you and your dream is a gap—a growth gap. And the only way to close that gap is to fund the journey toward your dream with the treasure of your growth. That happens when you get insanely practical about three keys: a growth mindset, a growth plan, and a growth team.  1. Adopt a Growth Mindset In the Gospel of Luke chapter 2 verse 52, it says, “Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people.” Notice, Jesus' growth was intentional and continual. He didn't think about growing—He grew. And He wasn't haphazard about growing—He grew mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially.  Without an intentional and continual growth mindset, we'll view growth as nothing more than a one-time event. Events such as conferences and seminars are great at inspiring change, but the change doesn't actually happen at the event. A process of growth must follow the event which then produces long-term habits of transformation. Simply put, events inspire change, process creates change, and habits sustain change. And it all starts with a growth mindset.  2. Create a Growth Plan I've developed a growth planning model that I call “Growth TRAC”—T-R-A-C. A Growth TRAC is a specific, measurable, and accountable plan for personal and professional growth. Each letter in the word “TRAC” stands for a word, and each word is accompanied by a question to help you create your own Growth TRAC. Let's unpack it.  The letter “T” in “TRAC” stands for Target, and the question is, “What are My Growth Goals?” Your growth goal is the target you're aiming to hit. The letter “R” stands for Roadmap, and the question is, “How Do I Plan to Grow?” Your roadmap to reach your target is typically made up of things like training, resources, coaching, and experiences.  The letter “A” stands for Accountability, and the question is, “Who Will Hold Me Accountable for My Growth?” None of us are good enough to reach our growth goals alone. That's why we need friends and mentors in our lives to ask us questions and hold us accountable to grow. And finally, the letter “C” stands for Check-Up. The question is, “When and How Will I Evaluate My Growth Progress?” When you conduct regular check-ups on your growth progress, you're able to make mid-course corrections to help you reach your growth goals.  A Growth TRAC includes a Target, a Roadmap, Accountability, and Check-Ups. And when you follow your TRAC, it helps you intentionally grow.  3. Assemble a Growth Team Several years ago, Scott Wilson introduced me to the idea of a growth team. A growth team is a group of people who help you grow in the most important areas of your life.  For example, if you're married, your spouse will help you grow in your relationship with your family. But your growth team doesn't end there. Prayer partners help us grow spiritually. Counselors help us grow emotionally. Coaches help us grow professionally, and financial advisors help us steward money wisely.

This show is going to be a little bit different because what we're going to do today is offer some advice to those who may work at a pharma company. But before we get into this advice portion of the discussion, let's start here. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. Probably we're gonna have people listening to this episode who maybe are not in our normal tribe of Relentless Health Value listeners. While there are, for sure, regular listeners who work at pharma companies, there might be some newbies on the scene here. And to you, I say welcome. I hope that you feel right at home here. You know what, though? Many of us, including myself often enough, are slightly uncomfortable. Because this is the place where we all kind of look at ourselves in the mirror. We all live in glass houses, after all—everyone in the healthcare industry. There's no devils and no angels here. And the trick is maximizing the good and minimizing the not so good so that we all wind up with the highest net positive possible for patients. So, around here, we do not shy away from saying what needs to be said so that we all can find a way forward to serve the patient. We cannot solve problems, after all, that we have not taken a cold, hard look at. Yeah. So, today I am speaking with Brian Reid. I have been very much looking forward to speaking with Brian Reid, who many may know from his really great newsletter and really insightful LinkedIn posts. Brian Reid's advice, which he delivers in the episode that follows in sum. Spoiler alert here, but I also will say that he is much more eloquent than me, and the nuances are a thing. So, please do listen to the whole show. But Brian's piece of advice number one for Pharma (and really any product or service frankly), but piece of advice number one is this: Get a really solid bead on what value means—not just to PBMs (pharmacy benefit managers) or contract pharmacies or wholesalers who are middlemen but to the ultimate purchasers, the ones whose wallets the money is actually coming out of to pay the bill. Meaning, plan sponsors, such as self-insured employers or unions, patients themselves or members, and taxpayers. Again, how does value accrue to the ultimate purchasers like plan sponsors, patients/members, or taxpayers? Everybody else in the drug supply chain, let's be clear, is in the middle pushing money around that came out of somebody else's wallet. These middlemen have their own interests that may, for sure, may or may not be aligned with the interests of the ultimate purchasers. Getting value realized by patients will depend on understanding what the value is to these ultimate purchasers and then not getting derailed by any middleman who may not be so aligned. As a sidebar on this number one piece of advice, the whole “what's your value” and influence coloring this value equation made by ultimate purchasers is the prevailing beliefs of these ultimate purchasers, relative to Pharma, how they perceive the pharma industry. Whether it's earned or not—and this is not what we're gonna discuss today—but earned or not, Pharma does not have a great reputation with these folks right now. And this matters. Brian has a lot to say on this topic, which is fascinating. So, you should listen. Number two piece of advice that Brian Reid delivers in the podcast that follows that we talk about: Consider inching into the fray around benefit design. Rightfully so, there's always a lot of talk about patient affordability at pharma companies; but if I was gonna point to one thing that impacts affordability more than anything else, it'd be benefit design. There's only a small, underfunded cadre right now of folks out there (Mark Cuban aside, actually); but there's only a really small number of folks who never have any money who are really helping plan sponsors understand the impact on patients of some of the choices that they are making. I mean, personally, I could think of 10 things to do right off the top of my head that could help plan sponsors not get inadvertently screwed in this realm alone, just thinking they're saving money when, in reality, they are harming patients and not saving money. There's probably a lot of opportunities to communicate these kinds of things that are really win-win collaborations. Number three piece of advice that we talk about in the conversation that follows with Brian Reid: Keep an eye on hospital consolidation and vertical integration in the payer space. Consolidation raises prices and impedes patient affordability. This is as per study after study after study. Consolidation raises prices and sometimes considerably. Here's a part B to this third piece of advice about consolidation. There's sometimes wild swings in prices at different large, consolidated health systems in the exact same geography. Listen to the show with Cora Opsahl (EP452) for more about how their health plan, as just one example, saved $30 million a year just pushing a huge expensive health system, consolidated one, out of their network and navigating patients to more affordable sites of care. This matters to pharma companies because hospital system prices are currently crushing in many areas of the country, really impacting patient affordability. But there are better or worse options from an affordability standpoint in some of these geographies. To state the obvious, if an infusion of the same drug costs 10 times more if a patient shows up in one care setting versus another, that latter place, not affordable for patients. And by the way, that is not hyperbole of any kind. There are plenty of examples where literally an infusion of the same drug, same dosage will cost 10 times more if a patient goes one place versus another. But, again, it's not affordable. The patient cost share might be 10 times higher if it's coinsurance, if the patient goes to that latter place. And that latter 10x more of the cost place also just added 10x the cost to the PAP program or the foundation debit column. All of this is really relevant to Pharma. And just to pile on here because now I'm on a roll, another reason why this matters, these striking price variations between care settings, if we're talking about product value, and if the price the patient or the plan sponsor is paying is 10x the cost of the ingredients, nobody's doing that math and separating out the cost of ingredients from the, you know, total cost of the infusion. It is one lump sum number. So, if we're defining value as outcomes divided by cost and now the cost to the plan sponsor is 10x, product value just got reduced by 10x. Just in case anyone is confused here, and you probably know this, but many forget that the whole ASP (average selling price) plus 6% provider reimbursement—so, if that's what you're thinking and you're wondering how the 10x transpires—that ASP plus 6% provider reimbursement is only for Medicare kinds of plans. Hospitals can and do negotiate much higher reimbursements for commercial plans, and those carriers that have commercial lines of business and also MA (Medicare Advantage) books of business even allegedly actually negotiate higher commercial reimbursements so that they can get lower Medicare Advantage rates. Right, and you can see why, because the MA dollars are coming out of their own capitated pockets, whereas the commercial rates are being paid for by the ultimate purchasers, the plan sponsors.

In part three of our series on creativity, guest host Oshan Jarow speaks with philosopher of neuroscience Mark Miller about how our minds actually work. They discuss the brain as a predictive engine that builds our conscious experience for us. We're not seeing what we see. We're predicting what we should see. Miller says that depression, opioid use, and our love of horror movies can all be explained by this theory. And that injecting beneficial kinds of uncertainty into our experiences — embracing chaos and creativity — ultimately make us even better at prediction, which is one of the keys to happiness and well-being.  This is the third conversation in our three-part series about creativity.
