In this conversation with my co-founder Jonathan (CTO of Epistemic Me), we dive deep into Michael Levin's groundbreaking research on aging, goal-directedness, and what it means for how we're building truly personalized AI systems. Jonathan walks me through how cells function as perception-action agents, why morphological goals matter beyond embryonic development, and how this biological framework directly informs how we're building Clarity—an AI thinking partner that understands your belief systems at the deepest level. This isn't surface-level AI talk. We're connecting cutting-edge biology with the future of human-centered AI, personal growth, and what it means to align your being with becoming your best self.
