    00:50 Introduction
    03:05 The question is how?
    03:29 We have this assumption that our cells are mindless, that they’re hardwired to only do a limited set of things, but Levin isn’t so sure.
    04:30 Levin thinks he may have found the answers to those questions, bioelectricity.
    04:45 What if we could use that electricity to train cells?
    05:35 Explain to me the concept of bioelectricity.
    07:34 So you might be wondering, what does bioelectricity have to do with regenerative medicine?
    08:22 How do the cells have these memories, if that’s the right word?
    09:55 Levin thinks bioelectricity is the architect building the blueprint, so to speak.
    10:36 As you talk about this, it’s almost like the cells are like a hardware and the electrical patterns are almost the software. Is that a fair analogy?
    12:10 You speak about this very definitively, but there are skeptics. Is that right?
    14:23 Break start: ESG Metrics
    15:18 Break Ends: I guess when you talk about this, it comes down to one of your early discoveries with a flatworm called planaria.
    17:16 How do they do this? Well, you guessed it, bioelectricity.
    19:26 If bioelectricity could change the architecture of a worm, could it do the same thing for humans?
    22:26 Okay. And then I guess the question would be it’s not just limb regrowth, but it actually could end up being like you said, organs, even the brain. And so as you started thinking about the possibilities with some type of a damage, do you envision a period where we’re going to be able to say, “He’s got brain damage, but it will grow back?”
    22:59 And so then I guess if we could regenerate some of these things then when you think of treatments for illness and using bioelectricity, has that played its way into this, IE, for cancer treatments, for example?
    26:38 Where, if anywhere, do different levels of potential ethics come into play on this? And what do you think about in relation to any of these things?

    Sorry: what is ESG?

      Google it, we have to put in our own effort to understand & learn...

      It's a global campaign to forcibly shoehorn progressive politics into businesses, to ensure that no one can go about their lives without wokeness being shoved down their throats at all points of the day

    Love the transhumanism talk. It’s inspiring. Morphological freedom.

    Morphological freedom sounds SO awesome 🤩

    I think if Dr.Levin could decipher, crack at least the control of the process of turning a zygote
    into a gastrula then the process of further shaping of the elements of the human body
    will become clearer.

    Ai already processed this but not for regeneration but for connecting bodies to Internet and commercial bioengineering.
    But does Chicago university have access to new Nvidia cluster to even check that? 🤔

    "Evolution notices that electricity is a great way to store information..." How could accidental events "notice" anything and make a rational decision. Evolution is based on accidents (random uncontrolled events) and since everything is the results of accidents, by extension our logic is, too. But how could evolution make such engineering choices, since there are other choices as well. What necessitates these choices?

    Hmm... I noticed that your latest video about the 2023 Campus Climate Survey doesn't allow for comments... I wonder why? Could it be that you suspect there would be massive dissent if people were allowed to express their thoughts on the matter? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    What about extra cellular matrices? It’s prevent it from cauterizing and regrow complete even down the fingerprint-

    It’s Our creator who wills this development from foetus to baby , through laws . Each and every discovery in science points to a creator

      The 'creator' is not separate from 'you'
