My first attempt at putting a talk up directly here (I usually just add links to the video on our channel Here goes: this was a ~55 minute presentation and I had been asked to talk about the "Multiscale Human" (for I cover the topics of "what are we",... "implications for biomedicine", and "future beyond human repair", from the perspectives of diverse intelligence at different spatial scales of our bodies and at the different time scales of evolution, development, and cognition.show more

FWIW: I prefer videos on other platforms besides Twitter. Twitter's video player controls are quite limited, like no theater mode (only full screen), no speed controls in pop-out, etc.

good to know; I'll keep putting them on the Center channel on YT.

My latest single Stargazing just landed!

one tip: post links below as a reply or thread, afaik algorithm penalizes outbound links on main posts!

Thanks for dropping it right here in x @drmichaellevin If a collective intelligence thinks it's ethical to cut your hand off for stealing in one side of the world due to their meta cultural influence in that specific geographic area and on the other side of the world their is another collective intelligence who believes the opposite to be true then I don't see how we can find a unified framework for ethics, at least in the current human condition, religion and environment shape moral and ethical mental models that are not universally accepted. This challenge only becomes greater when the lines start to become increasingly blurry around human-machine symbiosis as you rightly point out near the end of your talk. I like the concept of ethical synthbiosis as something we should be seriously considering talking more about right now, I have an idea to run a futures dialogue Symposium on this to put something into action. Would you be open to being one of the guests for such an event mid 2025ish? I have a few other people I could round up too.

I'm open to it, assuming it's at least hybrid. I'm not traveling nowadays and all my presentations/conferences are telepresence (zoom).

I hope the community engages with this and your team's work at Tufts University, thank you for sharing Mike, good luck, cheers

This is great! Do you upload these talks to a podcast service too?

hmm no haven't done that - don't know how, and barely have time to post where I do, so I've kind of ignored that aspect...

You do awesome work Michael

thanks, but it's not just me, it's also all the people in my group, our amazing collaborators, and many people in the diverse intelligence community. Lots of people have contributed and hopefully lots more will.
