@erikphoel Hi Erik, I appreciate your coverage of AI, especially how your background in neuroscience and consciousness informs your perspective. I'm Jack, a podcaster from the UK. I reached out last year, so apologies if you're still busy, but would you be interested in doing a podcast?

@Nataleo71379448 Hi Natalie, I was wondering if I could ask you some questions about your work in evolutionary biology? I am particularly interested in male-female competition and evolutionary pressures. Perhaps we could message, or have a call?

Thanks to @eschwitz for an amazing podcast on consciousness, exploring questions like group consciousness, AI consciousness, and even fractional consciousness (ie non-discrete numbers of conscious entities). Check it out:

AI today is built upon silicon-based computers, but what would artificial intelligence look like if it were based on biological materials and principles? I learn about this and more in my podcast with computer scientist Alexander Ororbia, check it out!

"Humans are unique: we have language, money, and culture. How did we get here? And what might the future look like?" That's from the description of my latest podcast with @zackabaker of @centerstudy_ Thank you for the fascinating podcast!

Did a podcast with @ThouArtThat on the intersection of science, philosophy and metaphysics. How could Whitehead's panpsychism help science? How will psychedelics change science? How can we put the human experience back into science? Thanks Matthew!

Are collective man-made entities like corporations, economies or nations conscious? What spiritual/platonic form are they supposed to embody (ie what is their purpose (if any)? Thank you to @KenHeFlo for discussing such topics with me:
