The science and philosophical implications of bioelectric fields

Evolution News put out an article discussing this paper - Ingressing Minds: Causal Patterns Beyond Genetics and Environment in Natural, Synthetic, and Hybrid Embodiments - that is currently a preprint authored [by] Levin:

Biologist Michael Levin: A Farewell to Physicalism

 Daniel Witt

This is an ~1 hour 10 minute conversation with Iain McGilchrist (https://channelmcgilchrist.com/home/), on the topic of my recent paper on the Platonic Space (https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/5g2...) - forms ingressing into the physical world in biology, causation, evolution, and mind.

So it seems Levin is a Platonist, Dualist, and "Panpsychist" though he seems to reject the idea of small Minds combining into bigger ones...seems like he calls himself that because he's an - [from what I can tell] - Animist who thinks even material objects could attract agents from the Platonic space who desire embodiment.

Was also surprised to see him mention synchronicity and personality characteristics transferring through transplants -- though [regarding] the latter he doesn't think the sample is robust enough right now.
