Ep 77: What is Life? | INNER COSMOS WITH DAVID EAGLEMAN
How do you define what things are living and dead? You might look at a sprinting cheetah and say it's clearly alive, whereas a chunk of rock is not -- but where do we draw the line? What might we expect extraterrestrials to look like, and would we even have the capacity to recognize them? And what does any of this have to do with Frankenstein, ancient Greek philosophers, or the possibility of finding a cell phone on Mars? Join Eagleman with guest Sara Walker, theoretical physicist at Arizona State University and author of the book “Life as No One Knows It”.

I'm half way through, and feel like I owe The University Of Arizona tuition after this one. lol. Thanks for being so informative. She would definitely be an awesome professor to have.
Life is the state when you can ask what it is. *pauses* Wait. No. I think that is consciousness. Now that I think about it, life somehow comes from matter, so life is living matter and from that matter we get not only life but conscious life-or mind. So what is matter then? Ever mind. Any way, then what is mind? Oh well, never matter I guess. I'm going back to cat videos. They make me laugh and don't hurt my brain.
Excellent lecture. I enjoyed the discussion of Theory of Assembly and that concept of a threshold of assembly defining "what is life?" Thank you so much!
Thank you very much for your sharing! I always think how amazing is our situation in space that permite the conditions for life to exist like it is! And we are so wonderfull that we can think in so many difetent ways about it!
Perhaps Life is the quivering equilibria of our receptors as explained in my book ("Origins of Life's Sensoria").

Thanks. Great discussion. Simon Conway Morris has some interesting thoughts on convergent evolution. As I understand it evolution, in solving the problems of motion for example, will converge on certain physical solutions. Meaning that we should expect to recognize life elsewhere at the macro scale as not too dissimilar from what has already evolved on Earth.
She's basically advocating Intelligent Design and irreducible complexity, even though she isn't outright saying it.
Thank you, David! You're doing great job! I have an idea what is life. Life is a matter, which tries to keep it's existance no metter of surrounding circumstances.
Complexity as a measure of lifeness. Very interesting, thank you.
Sorry but she spoke to quickly for me to follow her complex (for me) ideas but I’m sure she is brilliant.
You can slow down the video to 0.75x speed, if you want.
@@mousquetaire86 thank you
Mars is a dead planet.
Earth is a living planet.
Ability to respond.
Loved it!! BUT, the tune playing in the background while your guest was talking at times was very distracting. Am I the only one who thinks this?
i don't hear it
Aloha David , this episode bright to mind Don Hoffman
That would be a good interview/ guest
My suggestion
Thanks
Don Hoffman is a friend of mine because the things he says are in my first book as a chapter “Going beyond our evolutionarily-limited world view”. I began talking to him before his book came out 😂👍🏻 but why not interview someone different? I have been trying to get interviews for over two years now… and I know beyond any doubt that one interview would definitely get attention. I keep saying that an hour and a white board and I can change the world. But everyone keeps interviewing the same people over and over and over. We know what Donald Hoffman has to say already. I’m just exasperated because what he says is just a small part of the new comprehensive understanding of what we are and where the universe came from. I wrote a small book quite recently about how your own eye on your face is a symbolic communication structure that is part of a larger mind and larger picture of what the universe is. It’s a compound symbol and it changes everything. In the larger book I’m finishing now, I cover 30 such examples and relate them to new laws of information in the universe. Anyway, my new little book on the eye is “Eye of God: Language of Universal Mind” and it’s 80 pages and completely original and coherent. A lot more coherent than most people’s theories. I actually have an experimental program. It’s probably more mind-blowing than what Donald has to say because what he says was a part of my thinking in my first book 20 years ago. I literally don’t even begin to understand why I have not been interviewed yet. People will remember probably forever whoever interviews me first. It’s definitely that big a revolution in human thought history. 🤷♀️👁️
Also, I have Aspergers and I do not lie, exaggerate or even find attention rewarding. My absolute deepest motivation is just truth. So no, I’m not being sensational or egotistical or any of that nonsense. 😂 I can see the look on your face. 😂
Life is DYNAMISM !!
10k wow you're huge
