ActInf GuestStream 058.1 ~ Working with Gerald Edelman
"Working with Gerald Edelman" Panel discussion with: Andrew Schwartz Cheng-Ming Chuong Karl Friston
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Edelman Gerald Maurice Edelman (/ˈɛdəlmən/; July 1, 1929 – May 17, 2014) was an American biologist who shared the 1972 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for work with Rodney Robert Porter on the immune system. Edelman's Nobel Prize-winning research concerned discovery of the structure of antibody molecules. In interviews, he has said that the way the components of the immune system evolve over the life of the individual is analogous to the way the components of the brain evolve in a lifetime. There is a continuity in this way between his work on the immune system, for which he won the Nobel Prize, and his later work in neuroscience and in philosophy of mind.
Adrian Bejan: "The Evolution of Freedom"
https://mems.duke.edu/faculty/adrian-bejan
Embark on a thought-provoking journey as we delve into more profound insights with Dr. Adrian Bejan. Dr. Bejan is the internationally acclaimed physicist who discovered the Constructal Law
In our first gueststeam, ActInf GuestStream 066.1 ~ Adrian Bejan, "The Physics of Life: How to Predict Evolution" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF3zyjv2Drw we learned how to apply the Constructal Law to predict design in nature.
In this second episode, Dr. Bejan will explain the Constructal Law through the lens of freedom. You can expect a captivating livestream event that promises to expand your intellectual curiosity with a liberating understanding of the natural evolution freedom plays within flow configurations.
Join us to:
Discover how the laws of physics govern the evolution of freedom.
Gain a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of nature and human systems.
Learn how societal structures and governance mechanisms evolve to optimize the distribution and accessibility of freedom within the constraints of the environment.
