Michael Levin on Multi-Scale Intelligence and Teleophobia

Dr. Michael Levin is a Distinguished Professor in the Biology department at Tufts, where he holds the Vannevar Bush endowed Chair and serves as director of the Allen Discovery Center and the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology. He holds a dual B.S. degrees, in CS and in Biology, and a PhD from Harvard University. In this conversation, Levin talks to us about the usefulness of his conception of intelligence and the irrational "teleophobia" that dominates the discipline of biology today. Levin's work on limb regeneration is a clarion call for all scientists to rethink the nature of time, cause, and agency. Levin's website with access to all relevant resources: www.DrMichaelLevin.org.
