Thoughtforms Life "Bioelectricity: a bridge between physics and cognition, by way of biology" by Michael Levin
This is a ~22 minute talk that I gave remotely at the Tech For Impact Summit 2025 in Japan (https://tech4impactsummit.com/). It goes very quickly over the idea of bioelectricity as the cognitive glue between different scales of intelligence at the body, allowing top-down control and transduction of high-level goals down to the chemistry. I discuss the idea of agential materials, the goals of novel beings, and the implications for the future of biomedicine and beyond.
