Conversation Between Richard Watson, Iain McGilchrist, and Michael Levin
Richard Watson, futurist studying evolution, learning and machine intelligence, and Iain McGilchrist, neuropsychiatrist probing brain hemisphere differences, join Michael Levin for a wide-ranging conversation. They explore whether evolution can be intelligent, how brains balance induction and deduction, where biological form and memory reside, and how simple feedback scales into goal-directed anatomy. Short, speculative, and provocative.
