A Biology & Consciousness podcast chronically the bio-singularity. Three times per week I speak with leading scientists at the bleeding edge of AI synthetic biology, consciousness & inner experience, genetics, psychedelics and drug science. Giants Shoulder is intended to be accessible & entertaining for all ages. No idea is too strange, tackled with genuine curiosity and technical rigour. Come follow the journey as I have my brain melted and ontology warped on a regular basis. Evan has a Neuroscience degree from Trinity College Dublin and is founder of Giants Shoulder.

    #142 - Meet the Philosopher Behind Michael Levin's Strangest Idea The - Platonic Space Of Minds

Join the Giant's Shoulder community: https://www.skool.com/the-giants-shoulder-6526/about David Resnik is the NIH's Senior Advisor for Research Integrity and a philosopher of science who has spent his career defending careful, sober naturalism. He just co-authored a paper with biologist Michael Levin arguing that the shape of your body — and maybe your mind — is pulled from a nonphysical space of mathematical forms. Expect to learn why cicadas evolved to emerge only in prime-numbered years to dodge predators, why a mule's infertility comes down to simple odd-and-even chromosome math, why mathematics might be a "free lunch" baked into the universe rather than something we invented, why there may be no real difference between an electron and the equation that describes it, why Michael Levin's leap to calling certain mathematical forms "minds" might be the biggest jump in modern biology, why a Xenobot growing eyes and ears it doesn't need raises the question of where biological information actually comes from, why even a few lines of sorting-algorithm code can behave in ways nobody predicted, and why David thinks it might not matter whether Platonism is literally true, as long as it keeps producing good science.

His claim is unsettling: every time you speak, your brain performs an operation no other cognitive system — and no AI — can do, and the structure of grammar may be something the brain discovers rather than invents.Expect to learn why the phrase "old men and women" proves language breaks the laws of algebra, how "red boat" and "barco rojo" hide the same secret structure, what it means to record single words forming inside a living brain, why the deepest things you feel are impossible to put into words, how one word like "lunch" can be food, an event, and a time all at once, where Elliot stands on Michael Levin's idea that meaning lives in a Platonic space, why he thinks large language models don't understand a word they produce, what really separates human intelligence from pattern-matching, and much more… Timestamps 0:00:00 Trailer 0:01:56 From Liverpool Bookworm to Brain Scientist 0:10:25 The Phrase That Breaks the Laws of Logic 0:12:36 Why "Red Boat" and "Barco Rojo" Are Secretly Identical 0:15:14 Where Language Actually Lives in Your Brain 0:20:02 Recording Single Words Inside a Living Brain 0:23:38 The Surgery That Changed How We Study Language 0:36:12 Does Anything Else Work Like Language?

He thinks DMT entity encounters are not hallucinations, and he wants to know if they could be real.Expect to learn why calling ayahuasca visions "hallucinations" is scientifically wrong, why you can't overdose or build tolerance to ayahuasca the way you can with alcohol or cocaine, why vomiting is considered part of the medicine rather than a side effect, how a physicist measured the entropy of a mystical experience and watched it rise, why your eyes physically won't stay open during a vision, the hippocampal memory glitch that may explain why DMT entities feel real, and why psychedelic science may be measuring altered states with the wrong tools entirely.
