A must-watch video summarizing the work of Michael Levin:

Highlights:
- Intelligence can be found on much lower levels of organization than what we typically believe.
- We can use tools from cognitive science and psychology to interact with tissues and even individual cells. For example, even relatively simple chemical networks can exhibit pavlovian conditioning.
- Single-cell organisms with 100% human DNA.
- Regrowing limbs.
- Conscious exploration of the morphospace (the space of possible body-forms).
- Platonic space might be real after all.
