Love and Philosophy | In Continuum: Cognitions from other perspectives, Exploring Xenobots & Bioelectricity, Levin & Hiott @waymaking23 | Uploaded December 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Michael Levin & Philosophy of Cognition: Exploring Xenobots and Bioelectricity
Mike Levin and Andrea Hiott delve into the intriguing topics of bioelectricity, xenobots, cognitive continuums, and navigation. They discuss the mechanisms of how cells make decisions, the philosophical implications of cognition, and the potential of bioelectricity in regeneration. The dialogue also touches upon practical applications in engineering, the complexities of defining cognition, and how changing cellular memories can influence biological outcomes. Perfect for those interested in cutting-edge science, philosophy of mind, and biotechnology.

These are conversations I’ve been having with scientists, artists, & philosophers to understand how our approach to life and cognition might address some of the urgent divides we face today.
By love and philosophy, I mean the people, passions, and ideas that move us, shape the trajectories of our lives, and co-create our wider social landscapes.
Partly due to my trajectory in philosophy, technology, & the cognitive sciences, I’m hoping to better observe binary distinctions in our academic & personal lives (science vs. spiritual, mental vs. physical, technological vs. biological). What positive roles have these structures played? How might rethinking these structures & their parameters open new paths & ecological potentials?
