WATCH: https://youtu.be/_Kj2OgkxGa0 Terrence Deacon is Professor and Chair of the Department of Anthropology and member of the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute at the University of California, Berkeley. His research combines developmental evolutionary biology and comparative neuroanatomy to investigate the evolution of human cognition, and is particularly focused on the explanation of emergent processes in biology and cognition. Terrence is a Harvard Lehman Fellow, a Harvard Medical School Psychiatric Neuroscience Fellow, a Western Washington University Centenary Alumni Fellow, and the 69^th James Arthur Lecturer for the American Museum of Natural History. He has published over 100 research papers in collected volumes and scholarly journals, and his acclaimed book, "The Symbolic Species: The Co-evolution of Language and the Brain" (1997) was awarded the I. J. Staley Prize for the most influential book in Anthropology in 2005 by the School of American Research.

Michael Levin is a Distinguished Professor in the Biology department at Tufts University and associate faculty at the Wyss Institute for Bioinspired Engineering at Harvard University. He holds the Vannevar Bush endowed Chair and serves as director of the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts and the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology. Prior to college, Michael Levin worked as a software engineer and independent contractor in the field of scientific computing. He attended Tufts University, interested in artificial intelligence and unconventional computation. To explore the algorithms by which the biological world implemented complex adaptive behavior, he got dual B.S. degrees, in CS and in Biology and then received a PhD from Harvard University. He did post-doctoral training at Harvard Medical School, where he began to uncover a new bioelectric language by which cells coordinate their activity during embryogenesis. His independent laboratory develops new molecular-genetic and conceptual tools to probe large-scale information processing in regeneration, embryogenesis, and cancer suppression.

This interview with me was hosted by Dr Tony Nader on his wonderful podcast "Consciousness Is All There Is" where we discussed the various pros and cons of different theories of consciousness. If you enjoy MBS, you will love the content on Dr Nader's channel, so please check it out, like his content, and subscribe! Let's grow the Consciousness Community! Special thanks to Dr Nader for allowing me to repost this wonderful discussion. It was recorded a year ago, and many of my views have changed (slightly) since then, however I believe it is still worth the watch/listen. Enjoy!

Curt Jaimungal is a Torontonian filmmaker and podcast host, with a Degree in Mathematical Physics from the University of Toronto. His channel "Theories of Everything" (TOE) analyses various "Theories of Everything" by exploring theoretical physics, consciousness, Ai, and God in a technically rigorous manner. Similar to Mind-Body Solution, a separating factor of TOE from other podcasts is its focus on depth even at the risk of limiting the audience due to how much detail we delve into subjects. Paralleling the intensity found in academic discourse, Curt is increasingly embracing a spectrum of unconventional ideas to conduct research during this podcast, rather than merely conveying existing information.
