for - youtube talk - Michael Levin - youtube - Against mind-blindness - Recognizing and Communicating with Unconventional Intelligences

summary - mind blindness is the unawareness of other types of minds that surround us - This definition alludes to an expanded definition of "mind" that is based on Levin's research which is influenced by the work of William James - The expanded definition of mind is based on living systems with the ability to perform problem-solving with respect to its environment - Levin's experiments that suggest that problem-solving is an important definition of minds involves artificially manipulating morphological features of simpler life forms at very early stages of their development. - He demonstrates that tadpoles, with morphologically displaced features such as eyes, follow a problem-solving arc with this novel situation and have some kind of collective blueprint that they follow that allows the eyes to migrate to the right place in a fully developed frog - Hence, living organisms are equipped with problem-solving templates that guide them towards some collective target - Even if the original morphological state is novel, the mind can solve to migrate to the final target - Levin's other experiments show how implanting novel instructions in the target template will cause the living system to migrate towards a new final target, as demonstrated in his 2-headed worm, which reproduces with 2 heads for all future generations after the novel implant - These findings have profound implications on our understanding what life itself is - They also force us to expand the diversity of the definition of "mind", with many moral implications

for - climate crisis - GHG - incomplete accounting

for - key insight - GHG accounting - gross carbon accounting - count old growth deforestation as new carbon emissions - just like exposing millions-of-years-old fossil fuels

for - in other words - net accounting vs gross accounting - slash and burn forestry practice is a human activity - net accounting has been justified on the logic that - deforestation is a human activity that removes carbon sinks - regrowth that occurs after deforestation contributes a new future carbon sink - The problem with net accounting in this case is that it counts regrowth as a new carbon sink that is attributed to humans - when in reality, it is simply a natural process - A forestry company could slash and burn and then claim carbon credits for the natural regrowth, even though they did something that contributed to emissions, not mitigate emissions

for - question - why does the GHG accounting convention have this inconsistency in the first place?

for - aerosols - cooling emissions included

comment - complexity of aeresols - aerosols are a good example of the complexity of progress - aeresols are a byproduct of useful human processes such as: - refrigeration - transportation - especially shipping - Waste-to-Energy burning - biomass burning - industrial processes - the aeresols are considered pollution that are the cause of millions of deaths worldwide - this has given motivation to laws that significantly reduce aeresols, as in new shipping fuel convention - at the same time, aeresols have had a cooling effect on global warming, so - it can be considered to be a harmful pollutant with beneficial unintended consequence of lowering global mean temperature

for - goal of the study - update GHG accounting with these recent discoveries

for - effective radiative forcing - removes time variable for gas comparisons

for - newer GH accounting - consistent gross CO2 - deforestation impact larger than - fossil fuel emissions

for - GH accounting assumptions: - emission processes were unclear - land carbon emissions assumed to be part of self-balancing carbon pool - atmospheric interactions of emissions unknown - focus on fossil fuel emissions - exclusion of impacts of aeresol cooling effect - use of 100 year GWP

for - from - youtube - Just have a think - A controversial new paper challenges established emissions accounting criteria - https://hyp.is/9AQ6VF2SEfCsW8_68Y6AUA/www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9f16OTL1Lg - climate crisis - ERF - agriculture 60% - fossil fuels 18%

summary - This paper uses Effective Radiative Forcing (ERF) as a metric to measure global carbon emissions instead of the traditional Global Warming Potential (GWP) - It points out the problematic nature of GWP and how ERF provides a more accurate picture - Using ERF, the most surprising result of this study is that agriculture is the leading sector causing global warming - Measured from a baseline of emissions since 1750, - agriculture contributes 60% while - fossil fuels contributes 18% - Projects like Project Drawdown already prioritize agriculture, this gives even more validation and priority on transforming the agricultural sector - This also increases importance on efforts in: - regenerative farming - bioreginalism - permaculture - agroforestry - rewilding

summary - Annick de Witt takes the reader on a journey of discovery of that looks at the nuances of the complex set of entangled crisis we face today, by referring to the idea of worldviews - She shows how the quagmires now emerging are the result of interplay between three major worldviews, traditional, modern and post-modern and how each represents a partial truth that denies the partial truths held by the others - The article takes the example of Trumpism and the MAGA movement to illustrate, but the same analysis could be extended to the many different cultural worldviews found in different peoples around the globe - In particular, with Trump's recent decision to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities, tensions between the traditional Islamic culture and the West's traditional, modern and post-modern segments of society are again on the rise - The insightful analysis culminates in the proposal for an integral worldview that includes all three but transcends each one - It may be useful to introduce Annick to Greg Henrique's Unified Theory of Knowledge (UToK), - https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/ - Gregg works with John Vervaeke that Annick has cited - Regarding Bayo Akomolafe's short LinkedIn note on the word "worldview", I respect both Annick's detailed analysis as well as Bayo's interpretation and look forward to a comparative analylsis of these two perspectives around the word "worldview" - I am also in the middle of annotating Lisa E. Maroski's book, Embracing Paradox, Evolving Language, which is salient here as well

• I propose that the post-modern worldview should be renamed
• why?
• it is a name that is dependent on the second major worldview, modernism
• while the first two worldviews have autonomous names, the third, postmodernism is not autonomous but depends on the second
• the word integral is a good candidate to replace it

• it means integration of both traditional and modern

• two central ideas of Deep Humanity praxis fit into these three worldview

  • progress
  • death awareness
• worldviews can be seen from a progress framed perspective
• progress is a movement from traditional to modern
  • conservatism focuses on the traditional pole while
  • liberalism focuses on the modern pole
  • postmodernism is a universal, cultural retroactive reflection on the relationship between both

• death awareness is a major focus on traditional knowledge systems but

  • postmodernism can definitely benefit from integrating it to provide
    • an integral, inclusive approach that deals effectively with
      • the meaning crisis faced by a secular, modern perspective that has
        • rejected traditional religions without replacing it with anything substantive

• June 27, 2025 - modernism - objective reality - validation - example - personal experience - beeping electricity meter

  • my wife woke me up in the morning and said that the electricity meter is beeping again.
  • I couldn't hear it because my heating isn't as good as hers
  • I trust her when she says this
  • I walked out of the bedroom too go downstairs and turn it off and a soon as I got around the corner in the bedroom, I can hear the beeping sound
  • The easiest explanation for these two different experiences is that the is an existent objective reality which each of us experienced differently ( Occam's Razor)
    • the electricity meter was indeed beeping
  • The post modern. explanation would likely revolve around quantum mechanics but if far from simple or obvious

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

observation - by this definition, goals are intrinsic to life itself

for - quote - umwelt - Micheal Levin - interscale cognitive communication

quote - umwelt - Michael Levin - if we had internal sensors that you could feel the way that you have other senses, - your blood chemistry, for example, - you would have no problem recognizing that your liver and your kidneys were this intelligent symbiont that lived with you and kept you alive all day by moving you through these spaces that that we now don't recognize.

observation - Levin notes the limitations of the human umwelt and a gedanken that if we had biologically evolved (or culturally evolve) other sensors, that could serve as the basis for inter-scale communication with cognitive systems within us at micro scales

question - is interscale cognitive communication possible? If so,j what would it look like? What's it like talking to a cell?

key insight - scientific theory - transition - from different - to similiar - New scientific theories make us cognitively reorganize our experiences - What was thought of as separate in an older conceptual framing - suddenly become similiar with the new framing

Notes - Bloxhub is a consulting company working on the frontiers - panel debate with - Michela Magas (Director of Research and Innovation at the Industry Commons Foundation), - Helle Søholt (CEO, Gehl Architects) & - Indy Johar (Executive Director, Dark Matter Labs). Moderator is Andrew Dubber.

IJ - don't have copper infrastructure to electrify everything - we can only building 144,000 homes in all of EU but UK alone wants to build 350,000 homes - service and management processes that built our cities are no longer viable - probably looking at 3 Deg C GMT - 5 deg C higher on land - 8 deg C higher in city - if food prices are too high, the social contract is broken - we are living in a bubble of the idea of the city that is outdated - geoBIOLOGICAL factors - how radical can we get? - incremental change is not enough - what is the radical re-imagination required? - AI - 1-on-1 with energy, cognitive inequality = energy inequality = AI inequality - How do we operate in a post-labor economy? - Human economy is radically different - Need to operate between the philosophy and the technical

HS - polycrisis - addressing it is challenging - people are talking about the positive outcome - EU countries coming together - I'm spokesperson for new architecture policy of Denmark - cultural, planning and housing minister all meeting - unprecedented - Using what we already have: - idling resources of empty buildings - Urban nature / biodiversity - More urban green - re-imagine the future EU city - energy transition - localized - Inclusiveness - Bloxhub advocates the Copenhagen model - On US side, 1/3 of our revenues are from US - public sector - real estate dev - 25% of US malls closing down - philanthropy - recently, due to Trump govt policies: - 5 projects closed due to DEI - climate action plans in jeopardy

MM - translating philosophy into technology as per IJ but also - translating morality into technology - New European Bauhaus High Level Round Table - 18 experts - value mapping - justice is high priority - Quote - Alan X - Unless ideas are massaged into reality, they evaporate - Ecosystem Living

discussion HS - Copenhagen is the most livable city in the world now - but will it be the most resilient? - We need to think extremely long term - but we are searching for a new model - The infrastructure-led approach is not going to be enough to deal with the social and political crisis - We at Gail are searching for a more problem or culture led approach

IJ - Walked past a beautiful piece of jewelry but behind that visible beauty is invisible violence - Copenhagen as most livable city, is backed by invisible high carbon intensity - Have to think about the systems in which our human system exist within - There's a shadow behind a wellbeing city - We need a new theory of abundance - Regenerative supply chains - required but are difficult - If we consider externalities, we have to multiply by 10x - The future is not just infrastructure but multiple portfolios - City must go from representation to participation - perspective shift - from austerity to abundance - Edo period of Japan was already a circular economy - Need to construct the new politics of abundance and abundance economy is based on intangibles

MM - joining together many small groups is important

? What's the next steps?

HS - THere is innovation capacity at a neighborhood level - We need to find ways to give agency to citizens - Locating intermediate organizations to lead the way

IJ - Look at the shadow, don't run away from it - Book - In praise of shadow

MM - cities give us a template to look into public commons - state owned on one side, corporate on the other - public commons
