for - key insight / quote - the reason to love your neighbor - Donald Hoffman - The reason to love your neighbor as yourself is because - your neighbor IS YOUR (TRUE) SELF, just with a different headset. - And the only reason we have problems is - we don't realize how incredible you are. - So you are that which is creating this VR simulation with all of its beauty, all of its complexity. - All the complexity is you and you're doing it effortlessly.

adjacency - infinite intelligence - hologram metaphor - your neighbor is your (true) self - Deep Humanity motto - Join together (instead of Join us) - face behind the mask - Reflecting on this, it occurred to me that the Deep Humanity motto of "Join together, NOT join me/us" is deeply connected to what is being discussed in this annotation. - The problem with "joining me" is that it reflects we are still stuck in the ego reification paradigm while "join together" reflects awareness that the boundless intelligence is the true face behind the mask of each different species and each different individual of each species

quote - we try to understand the large scale utility of these patterns - Michael Levin - This is an implicit demonstration or embodied demonstration of interscale communication - The higher level agent (Michael Levin's consciousness) - is attempting to understand the functioning of his own lower scale intelligence

for - quote - consciousness vs cellular level intelligence - Michael Levin - key insight - high level governance (consciousness) vs low level intelligence adjacency hierarchical control - high level consciousness - low level micro intelligence quote - consciousness vs cellular level intelligence - Michael Levin - all intelligence is collective intelligence in the sense that - every agent is made of parts, all of us. - And what you want is for the (high level) agent to have a causal power that is not the same as simply tracking the microstates, the particles.

key insight - high level governance (consciousness) vs low level intelligence - This is a very important observation - It says that a multi-cellular being such as a human being can have consciousness that has agency for the entire organism and governs at that high level, and it must have this beyond just the cognition and intelligence at the lower cellular and subcellular level

  • all intelligence is collective intelligence

• author: Michael Levin

• comment

  • Major evolutionary transition (MET) are milestones in evolution in which collections of distinct individual life forms unite into one cohesive collection due to improved fitness and begin to replicate as a new individual unit
  • hence the Deep Humanity term individual / collective gestalt, developed to deal with the level of human organisms and the societies and groups they belong to, applies to evolutionary biology as well through the MET where a new higher level individual is formed out of a collective of lower level indivdiuals
