⚡️💬 NEW - Michael Levin says your brain might not be the only thing in your body that's conscious.

Organs like your liver pursue goals and solve problems.

By the same standards we use to recognize minds, they qualify.

He's using AI to build translators. Tools to ask the body what it wants.

“We should be able to ask the liver questions about things it cares about.”

I am following Levin very closely. He is genius, open minded, ambitious. He will rewrite our basic understanding of the reality.

Interesting

We've known for thousands of years

I really enjoyed his conversation with Bernardo Kastrup, who has his very own theory of consciousness (look for analytic idealism if interested)
