Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal · Michael Levin: Bioelectric Signals That Reprogram Living Organisms · 21 Mar 2025 podcast

Um, yeah, a couple things.

Uh there there are pathologies that are fundamentally bioelectrical errors.

I'm sure there are many pathologies that are not.

So this is not a blanket uh solution for everything.

Memory memory loss is a whole other we would we would need uh th there's a but if you want to email me about it, I'll I'll point you to some stuff that we've done on this m this the storage of memory and and w and and how it uh sort of moves across tissues in the body and how much of it is in the brain and how much of it is not.

Uh these are all really interesting uh kinds of things and

There's there are some some developments coming on that front that I think are gonna kind of overturn um some of the some of the current assumptions.

So it's too early to say much yet for sure, but but I do think that there are some r like radically different therapeutics coming on that front.

Yeah, uh th why but of course yeah, you you picked some uh you picked some big ones.

Uh okay, uh f I'll I'll do the last one uh first.

Uh I I I don't think um uh I I I think the fund I mean in in some cases it's very helpful to look at genes and and as the universe of selection and so on.

I think fundamentally what's going on uh in in biology is uh the the unit of selection is the perspective.

It is it is uh observers, and when I say observers,

Observers, I don't mean humans, necessarily not not just humans, but but every every active system is an observer that has a perspective of some of some degree.

And it is different perspectives trying to uh uh interpret, hack, uh compete with and cooperate with each other.

It's uh it's all all of this is is is really a battle of uh and a differential battle of perspective.

Uh and I think that's true for bielectrics.

And I could tell you was I could I could I could uh tell you a whole thing about how when we inject

those uh that the ion channel to make the eye, there's a battle of worldviews that goes on basically where there's a bunch of cells that are saying to their neighbors, hey, help us make this eye, and there's and they are using their cancer suppression mechanism to say to the cells we injected.
