Thank you very much for provoiding this great conversation for free! one could see that the interviewer really knows the territory and is able to ask the interesting questions. really inspiring, sometimes mind boggeling, and full of insights! And so very generous of Mr. Friston to dedicate many hours of his time to explaining this stuff, in this podcast ans many others. I'm only an interested layperson with an education in philosophy, higher order logics and the like, but I watched this with Alice D. and saw the most interesting topographical manyfolds before my minds eye ...
Brilliant idea to have a non specialised perspective. People like me who are not specialist are very very interested in these areas and certainly appreciate the profundity... so very pleased to have access to these ideas 💡
I am a surfer. I can't help but get the sense of surfing while comprehending all this. It's because Karl Friston is a surfer too. He is expertly surfing the gigantic waves of a confused sea. He surfs the deepest continuities of math, physics, deep time (with the prebiotic soup), computational neurophenomenology, and neuroscience. The paradigmatic impact of what he's saying can't be overstated.
I am a big fan of this channel, and keen to read up. As a relative newcomer to active inference, should I start with Karl Friston’s book, or with Andy Clark’s? (My background is philosophy rather than science. I also have mild-to-medium schizophrenia, hence my fascination, since it is a highly relevant theory.)
@RichBlundell you’ve tapped into a core (the barrel) of Karl’s journey. Watch the energy build, marry your momentum to that of the direction of travel, ride, then decide when you want to give it another go. Although Karl and Kai Lenny tow in different conditions, I somehow think of both as immense creatives at what they do.
totally. And now I want more conversation in our culture about what all this means for our conceptions about who we are and how to live more aligned with the ontology (reality) that these insights can (and should) have. I get the conceptual and theoretical aspects, now what about the axiological? In other words, if these dynamics hold up to scientific scrutiny, or at least consensus (and I'm convinced they do both), how can they change our "collective" mind? Who out there on the interweb is communicating them into a rational and legitimate cultural-level conversation so they can be integrated into civilization?

Very pleased to see this conversation 👍
Thanks guys 🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic work thank you!
I would say that watching this has been like a psychedelic experience for me.

Thomas Parr's book I would think - "Active Inference: The Free Energy Principle in Mind, Brain, and Behavior" - hope that is useful for you
@@johnloutzenhiser7351 thank you!
