What is this?

EP72 Joscha Bach on Minds, Machines & Magic 12,400

• general intelligence which is not surprising you know evolution is seldom profligate with its gifts and
• see the low level processes that change the evolution of one system across the boundary
• construction and they give evolution something to work with to produce
• look at society that the uh viral evolution the memetic evolution does not necessarily have to lead to
• removed from the playing field this is how evolution works but it can be a temporary breakdown of
• several thousand years of human evolution we suddenly get to the point where we have the right moral opinion
• of course this is just one of these just so stories about evolution so it may not be true but
• bipedalism it produced evolution that constricted the opening of the pelvis
• and play around with it the main evolution takes place within the company for proprietary projects in

EP87 Joscha Bach on Theories of Consciousness 7,303

• implemented as an after thought and evolution so they had to be mapped into an existing brain region
• know a teeny step at a time through evolution over billions of years and it's amazing the stuff works at all
• works and now also how evolution and emotion work all

EP 170 John Vervaeke and Jordan Hall on The Religion That Is Not a Religion 3,060

• the the origins of the shamanic typology paleontology specific the the evolution or the development of the various sort

EP26 Jordan Hall on the Game B Emergence 1,943

• on the human body right and you just keep going here's watch the evolution of military power but as you start moving
• fact i hope some of them do right evolution moves forward by failure yeah and i think you it's funny because we

EP80 Daniel Schmachtenberger on Better Sensemaking 1,750

• would be it's a platform for evolution and stuff's evolving

EP 153 Forrest Landry on Small Group Method 1,421

• is that if we're looking at sort of human evolution and the ways in which we've essentially arrived at on on the
• associated with uh some forces of evolution than with others this this will take a minute to describe do you
• meritocracy but i i made the observation sort of in passing that evolution our biological heritage you know through
• cooperation all the sort of consensus process that evolution is also built into it
• piece of it is is actually understanding uh evolution and our evolutionary heritage in terms of the biases
• tool set to address this we actually have to think about evolution in kind of first person terms or in kind of
• issues associated with consensus so first of all evolution has three principal drivers you can think
• built into the evolutionary mathematics themselves it's not just human evolution in this planet it's essentially that the
• in this planet it's essentially that the very math of the dynamic of evolution itself essentially requires these sort
• both the needs of sustainability i.e being here for a while and evolution which essentially is
• say for example that i i have a capacity to do really fast evolution but i don't have sustainability
• a thing that has really good ability to to to be change right evolution is change and it can respond to change but
• from just bottom up which would be evolution or top down which would be technology but essentially from the
• what are the dynamics that actually create conscious sustainable evolution what are the ways in which we as a
• is a creative process much the same way that evolution is and that if i actually want to you know find some way to make
• the principles of the relationship between technology and evolution the first principle sort of way which is
• filled in by evolutionary process evolution could not have possibly prepared us for this circumstance
• essentially a singular event so you know how many times is evolution going to create a modern technological species
• any anymore right if we mess it up to some extent we've debased evolution from the capacity to even perform the
• need to understand how to do conscious sustainable evolution and i'm using those words in the principled way
• saying conscious sustainable evolution and that that
• the wisdom to be able to handle the balance between technology and evolution itself and literally nothing less than
• genuinely has the capacity for long-term conscious sustainable evolution we we kind of need to think in a much more
• and that approach certainly works well in the same sort of way that evolution works well you try everything and you
• intelligence about the relationship between evolution and technology otherwise you know the predatory nature

Currents 072: Ben Goertzel on Viable Paths to True AGI 1,277

• interesting results using especially neural evolution where does evolution fit into your approach yeah so in
• two ways really i think you can look at evolution as a sort of high level abstract way to describe a
• i just gave one wherever there's many other ways that evolution is just there implicitly in having a distributed
• because if you want to get really philosophical i would say evolution and autopoiesis which is like
• maintaining itself and rebuilding itself and you have evolution which is basically the process of combining
• open-ended dynamical system so i'd say evolution is there how explicitly you want it to be there is a detailed
• conclusion that evolution is a bit impaired when it's separated
• with the clues what happened if you kind of did a dual evolution on the chemistry or something more like the genes and the
• produce other processes and then evolution happens on this sort of field of of of
• soup i'm gonna do directed chemical evolution on this algorithmic chemistry soup using well what use pattern mine
• you've got an algorithmic chemistry soup which is being accelerated in evolution by doing some machine learning and even
• pattern mining and and the sort of ai direction of the chemical evolution as i've suggested

EP31 Forrest Landry on Building our Future 1,156

• we're not just evolving in a blind sense the same way that say evolution would do because although evolution if you think
• the same way that say evolution would do because although evolution if you think about the scientific method for example
• outcome it's effectively a kind of unconsciousness the market evolution is unconscious in the fundamental way and
• of both possible worlds you know pure evolution working by itself for pure technology working by itself so in
• reconcile the relationship between sustainability and evolution in a conscious way which ie is you know
• the more loosely coupled social evolution in humans until we passed a certain threshold about two hundred and

EP96 Forrest Landry on Immanent Metaphysics: Part 1 1,068

• and what do the formulas represent it's sort of an evolution of you know various probabilities over

EP24 Bret Weinstein on Evolving Culture 998

• for the environment that we live in you know most of our evolution was completed by 12,000 years ago before the first
• which leads to children therefore black box ais are now driving human evolution yeah that's a really interesting point
• that was being policed so that somebody prior to the evolution of this change would have come out behind in so doing
• you were in a much bigger pool and effectively the evolution of ruthlessness was an inevitable
• biology and maybe you could do a little sidebar on how trade-offs in evolution work sure i mean the the irony is that
• work sure i mean the the irony is that trade-offs in evolution work exactly the same way that they do in engineering and
• complex than that but there are circumstances in evolution that will reveal other parts of a trade off and
• which we see a desire to improve things and we view evolution traditionally we have viewed it as an engine of
• situation that you were describing a few minutes ago with respect to evolution of computer algorithms where you find that
• environment or neighbors and so there's all sorts of room for evolution to take place so i don't exactly know what
• know nothing is knowable in biology except through the lens of evolution and that certainly has to include human
• makes any sense in biology except in light of evolution yeah and really the this ought to be uncontroversial surely
• difficult to convey but as much as i am in awe daily of what evolution has produced and really i'm the kind of guy
• have an obligation to reject what evolution wants for us and to reapply the tools it has handed us to something
• momentous occurrence in human social evolution in a very long time it's spectacular and i mean the other thing
• to be true in many others the fact is that darwinian evolution does not prepare us for the environments in which
• or not the argument is correct evolution has produced religion we know that that must
• other hand i would accept what you said is absolutely true evolution religion almost certainly evolved in fact one of
• comprehend our situation and our understanding of human evolution has actually lagged quite a bit behind our
• actually lagged quite a bit behind our understanding of the evolution of other creatures in part because human beings
