Dr Michael Levin's pioneering research on bioelectricity, morphogenesis, and cognition is reshaping our understanding of how living systems self-organize and regenerate. He explores how cells and tissues communicate through bioelectrical signals, guiding the formation of complex structures without relying solely on genetic instructions.
He is a Distinguished Professor in Biology at Tufts University, working at the intersection of biology, computer science, and cognitive science.
This dialogue explores meanings of influence, value, transhumanism, minds, collective intelligence, and the philosophical and scientific implications of Dr. Michael Levin's work.

With influence from philosophy and psychonautic experience, this dialogue explores the forking path of humanity’s relation with technology.

Featuring Carl Hayden Smith, founder of the Museum of Consciousness, hyperhuman theorist and extended state DMT pioneer, in a Voicecraft dialogue with philosopher and consciousness theorist Cameron Duffy.

Her therapy approach is greatly informed by Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). As a research consultant, she is broadly focused on clinical complexity, innovation, and workforce development. Longstanding literary loves include Camus, Kazantzakis, Seferis, Anaïs Nin, Plato, Borges, Kafka, Balzac, Jung, Paz, Sartre, Nietzche, Gertrude Stein, Hemingway… a ridiculous list of names.
