Who do you admire? I have always immersed myself in the ideas of those I have admired, through podcasts, audiobooks, & conversations. There is no way better way to do this, than to think, write, and finally produce a piece of content about the person. Fridtjof Nansen is truly worthy of study, for so many reasons. This channel is dedicated to philosophers, practical advice / wisdom, big ideas in history and current events. If you check out the channel name "MAX DEPTH" then you will begin to get a feel for what we do around here; We go DEEP into ideas, jumping down rabbit holes that most people step around. If this sounds like your type of place, we'd love to have you along for the ride.

"Hello! I'm a student at Harvard pursuing a special degree across five fields - robotics, computer science, philosophy, mathematics, and organismic/evolutionary biology. These come together under my project by attempting to apply ways of thinking about nature to the way we think about robots." - Henry Cerbone
Henry is a deep thinker so it was a pleasure speaking with him about:
religion as an epistemic teddy bear,
the epic paper titled: Posits and Reality (https://cdn.preterhuman.net/texts/science_and_technology/Quine%20W.V.%20-%20Posits%20and%20Reality.pdf)
and if engineers and computer scientists are properly using nature to inform robotics.
Hope you enjoy. I work really hard on these so please consider subscribing. Thanks.
Adam Green is the director of the Lab for Relational Cognition and Provost's Distinguished Associate Professor at Georgetown University. Adam's academic interests lie in understanding how neural processes generate intelligence and creativity. Hope you enjoy our conversation! Stay Classy San Diego.

Dr. Pallav Kosuri received his Ph.D from Columbia, his PostDoc from Harvard, and completed his thesis at CERN. Now he works at the Salk Institute in La Jolla working in a field called DNA Origami. If you have never heard of it, you are in for a wild ride. Essentially, they are constructing nano-scale devices made from DNA to measure previously unseen molecular motion with an almost infinite array of applications.

This is what a conversation can sound like. People with different perspectives fiercely trying to get their point across while simultaneously listening to what the other person is saying. This is chaotic, but I think a few halfway decent points were made. I hope you enjoy

Cyber attacks have advanced rapidly along with the rest of technology. From flooding the SSA website with bots and crashing the system to the Solar Winds attack on the US Government by Russia, Cyber Attacks are now a huge problem for everyone. Clifton is a PHD student at Northeastern studying network security, recently studying the feasibility of implementing deep learning solutions to prevent attacks. The conversation can roughly divided into a first and second half. First, we discussed Clifton's work and the specifics of different cyber attacks. Second, we discussed the problems and possibilities of exploding technological innovation. Will we be able to build consciousness? Clifton doesn't want to find out. I kinda do.
Enjoy!

Evan Zimmerman founded Mighty Mug, a massively successful consumer product company in his teens, graduated from UChicago and Berkeley Law, invests in early stage technology companies through his investment vehicle Jovono, and is currently breaking into the biotech space with his company Drift Biotechnology. We discussed a wide range of topics that were applicable to success in business, life, and beyond. We discussed the skills needed as an investor, how to best succeed as a student/what you should really focus on in college, and the changes that should be made to bring about a better world.
sorry the audio sucks, also, Idk how to format the title of my show to make it consistent 🙃

joining us today we have Dr. Michael Frank. director of the Carney Center for Computational Brain Science at brown university and current professor teaching computational cognitive neuroscience
Prof. Frank
thank you for joining us today
for reference, this podcast is my personal journey of investigation and inquiry into reality and consciousness—made public. the research I conduct is focused more on the subjective dissection of self consciousness, leaning more towards ontology, while trying to adhere to the scientific method. my goal is to extract meaningful and actionable solutions out of philosophical investigation
from what i have seen, we are both attempting to understand the foundations of ourselves, what makes us tick, what motivates us, and i am particularly fascinated in your work because it is so much more empirical and objective than mine and you have been at it for so much longer. this parallel investigation of ours seems collide in terms of our overall end goal, to extract practical applications from our research. mine to lead a more meaningful life, and yours, if i may speak for you, to build better artificial intelligence systems and solve problems relating to neurological disorders such as schizophrenia, degenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s, and understanding the complexity of decision making.
