A way-making research conversation w our colleague Andrea Hiott and Tufts biologist Michael Levin. They discuss Levin's own path, how science fiction helped him see beyond dichotomies, scales of cognition, and what it might mean to reorient understandings of life and mind: https://youtube.com/@waymaking23

Love & Philosophy Beyond Dichotomy

Sensation. Way-making. Invitation. Exploration. Beyond Dichotomy. Conversations in love and philosophy. A collection of conversations with scientists, artists & philosophers about what moves us intellectually and emotionally, and how we might connect beyond the traditional either/or assumptions of our disciplines. As a researcher in the cognitive sciences, I'm developing a philosophy called way-making that has 'movement' as its concentrating element, so this channel is about how the ideas, people, paths, & vehicles we make in life become ways we think, feel, & connect. #love #philosophy #podcast #andreahiott For my work and conversations in Ecological Motoring, see: https://forevermotoring.com/ or watch at https://youtube.com/@moveusforward?si=7iEc_O1Nt8ThweRw social media (with the help of friends): @waymaking23 and @forevermotoringpod www.andreahiott.com

The self is a dynamic and evolving process shaped by biology, psychology, culture, and environment. It can be influenced by external factors like electric fields and bioengineering, and is a continuous spectrum with no clear boundaries.

"Intelligence is not something that happened at the tail end of evolution, but was discovered towards the beginning, long before brains came on the scene.”
