You're listening to the Tracking Wisdom Podcast, exploring the universal
2
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:12,750
truths that we see woven through culture,
consciousness, and the human experience.
3
00:00:17,985 --> 00:00:21,045
Ryan: Good morning everybody, and
welcome back to another episode
4
00:00:21,045 --> 00:00:22,755
of the Tracking Wisdom Podcast.
5
00:00:22,755 --> 00:00:23,325
I'm Ryan,
6
00:00:23,505 --> 00:00:24,075
Peter: I'm Peter,
7
00:00:24,375 --> 00:00:26,605
Ryan: and today I wanted to talk about Dr.
8
00:00:26,605 --> 00:00:27,535
Anita Goel.
9
00:00:27,715 --> 00:00:34,025
So this is a physicist and MD
that we came across in yet another
10
00:00:34,025 --> 00:00:36,005
Essentia Foundation interview.
11
00:00:36,105 --> 00:00:36,525
Dr.
12
00:00:36,525 --> 00:00:43,095
Anita Goel, MD PhD, she's a physicist
and world renowned expert and pioneering
13
00:00:43,095 --> 00:00:45,795
in the emerging field of nano physics.
14
00:00:45,895 --> 00:00:53,075
And she is a physicist by training
and has been enamored or, inspired
15
00:00:53,075 --> 00:01:01,675
by, nano machinery, nanotechnology and
in particular she has a focus on DNA
16
00:01:01,675 --> 00:01:08,195
transcription and DNA polymerase as a
nano machine, and has some theories around
17
00:01:08,315 --> 00:01:16,855
how it might be interacting with quantum
mechanics and how using the biological
18
00:01:16,855 --> 00:01:23,565
system, the living systems, which in
are inherently open versus the classical
19
00:01:23,565 --> 00:01:30,414
physics and the work that's been done
historically on closed systems, how
20
00:01:30,685 --> 00:01:38,325
studying that may help us make strides in
closing the gap that Einstein, Schrodinger
21
00:01:38,384 --> 00:01:43,735
Penrose and the like have all acknowledged
that there's something missing,
22
00:01:43,795 --> 00:01:48,414
something not quite complete about our
understanding of quantum mechanics.
23
00:01:48,515 --> 00:01:55,835
And she has a, a theory that studying
this understanding, not only the
24
00:01:55,925 --> 00:02:02,275
nanotechnology itself, but essentially
if her theories are proven to be, sound,
25
00:02:02,375 --> 00:02:08,780
that we could use that as a quantum
sensor . That we could use biological
26
00:02:08,780 --> 00:02:14,170
systems and their interaction with
the quantum field quantum mechanics to
27
00:02:14,270 --> 00:02:20,430
detect those interactions and further
our understanding of quantum mechanics.
28
00:02:20,810 --> 00:02:22,420
Is that a fair way of
29
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:28,000
Peter: Yeah, I think that the point
of the idea of the quantum detector is
30
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,200
that the system, so the D.N.A./D.N.A.
31
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,860
polymerase experimental system,
can be developed into, technology
32
00:02:36,860 --> 00:02:40,995
that can be used to create the
equivalent of a double slit experiment
33
00:02:41,025 --> 00:02:41,235
. Ryan: Right.
34
00:02:41,335 --> 00:02:45,445
Peter: So, as you were saying, you know,
she points out that, quantum theory is
35
00:02:45,445 --> 00:02:51,995
incomplete, and a way of reducing the
incompleteness is to turn away from
36
00:02:52,095 --> 00:02:56,865
inanimate closed systems and start
to look at living systems, because
37
00:02:56,965 --> 00:02:58,555
it'll just give us a different view.
38
00:02:58,615 --> 00:03:03,510
I mean, everything that we
know is from experimentalists.
39
00:03:03,610 --> 00:03:07,330
Well, I mean, not just
experimentalists theorists too, right?
40
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:07,450
Mm-hmm.
41
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,060
Ignoring living systems, because
living systems are too messy.
42
00:03:11,060 --> 00:03:17,010
And, because of her work in Nanosystems
and her ability to manipulate living
43
00:03:17,010 --> 00:03:20,640
systems and make them tractable
to experimentation, she's like,
44
00:03:20,670 --> 00:03:22,030
oh no, they're not too messy.
45
00:03:22,030 --> 00:03:23,079
And I think part of her.
46
00:03:23,180 --> 00:03:30,500
Thing too is that the apparent messiness,
may have to do with the intrinsic
47
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:33,350
involvement of quantum effects.
48
00:03:33,470 --> 00:03:33,650
Ryan: Hmm.
49
00:03:33,810 --> 00:03:38,560
Peter: She says some clearer things
about quantum effects and living systems,
50
00:03:38,570 --> 00:03:42,350
which are really interesting, but, the
big goal, at least that they're talking
51
00:03:42,350 --> 00:03:48,060
about in this conversation, is to create
something like the double slit experiment.
52
00:03:48,060 --> 00:03:54,297
Something that clearly demonstrates the
properties of quantum physics, but using a
53
00:03:54,347 --> 00:03:58,187
completely new kind of experimental setup.
54
00:03:58,187 --> 00:03:59,972
And it's not to duplicate the, mm-hmm.
55
00:04:00,072 --> 00:04:04,862
Double slit, but an experiment that
has the impact of the double split
56
00:04:04,862 --> 00:04:09,162
experiment and that it's a very
clear demonstration of, well the
57
00:04:09,222 --> 00:04:14,892
double split experiment demonstrates
the kind of dual nature of light as
58
00:04:14,892 --> 00:04:16,452
wave and particle at the same time.
59
00:04:16,552 --> 00:04:20,392
The double slit experiment
demonstrates ensemble behavior.
60
00:04:20,452 --> 00:04:20,661
Ryan: Mm-hmm.
61
00:04:20,762 --> 00:04:26,032
Peter: And so, she's looking for a kind
of experiment to do in a biological
62
00:04:26,032 --> 00:04:31,732
system, specifically her nanotech
setup with DNA and DNA polymerase,
63
00:04:31,832 --> 00:04:37,772
and she says that the roadmap is
there, needs a lot more resource to
64
00:04:37,772 --> 00:04:41,792
refine the resolution of the system,
65
00:04:41,822 --> 00:04:41,912
Ryan: mm-hmm,
66
00:04:42,012 --> 00:04:45,022
Peter: in order to set up the
correct kind of experiment.
67
00:04:45,122 --> 00:04:45,302
Ryan: Yeah.
68
00:04:45,352 --> 00:04:49,151
Peter: And then goes far field
later on into her own kind
69
00:04:49,151 --> 00:04:50,681
of intuitive understanding
70
00:04:50,741 --> 00:04:54,331
of the nature of, I guess
reality and consciousness.
71
00:04:54,421 --> 00:04:54,631
Ryan: Yeah.
72
00:04:54,751 --> 00:04:55,411
Peter: To some extent.
73
00:04:55,621 --> 00:04:55,891
Ryan: Yeah.
74
00:04:56,071 --> 00:05:02,692
And one thing that I did find interesting
is how, number one, she presented
75
00:05:02,722 --> 00:05:08,707
the idealist paradigm, but, as we had
mentioned in previous episodes, it
76
00:05:08,707 --> 00:05:15,047
seems that the scientists that we've
come in contact with that are on the
77
00:05:15,047 --> 00:05:22,507
idealist side of the conversation,
all appear to have had a precipitating
78
00:05:22,507 --> 00:05:28,667
experiential event, that then led
them to use their scientific skills
79
00:05:28,667 --> 00:05:31,767
and knowledge to pursue this avenue.
80
00:05:31,867 --> 00:05:37,477
And she, from all accounts that we can
tell, is the first one that I can recall
81
00:05:37,477 --> 00:05:40,447
that came to this purely scientifically.
82
00:05:40,687 --> 00:05:41,257
Peter: Intellectually.
83
00:05:41,257 --> 00:05:46,707
Ryan: Intellectually and theoretically,
that we keep bumping up against walls with
84
00:05:46,707 --> 00:05:51,807
the classical approach and the materialist
paradigm, specifically around the quantum
85
00:05:51,807 --> 00:05:57,587
measurement problem and the hard problem
of consciousness that , by flipping
86
00:05:57,587 --> 00:06:02,557
that on its head and starting with the
consciousness first paradigm, these
87
00:06:02,587 --> 00:06:06,187
things become more readily answerable.
88
00:06:06,247 --> 00:06:10,297
But she's very adamant
about using rigorous.
89
00:06:10,297 --> 00:06:10,357
Yeah.
90
00:06:10,407 --> 00:06:13,057
scientific approach and data.
91
00:06:13,057 --> 00:06:16,477
And she has a very high
bar for her research.
92
00:06:16,527 --> 00:06:20,067
She was saying she has high hopes for it,
but she's also her highest critic where
93
00:06:20,067 --> 00:06:27,937
she's, very, stringent on making sure that
the output of this research is rigorous.
94
00:06:27,997 --> 00:06:32,027
And that, it also encompasses
and answers all the classical
95
00:06:32,027 --> 00:06:33,927
things that we already know.
96
00:06:34,224 --> 00:06:38,704
That all has to be part of what comes
out of the experiment and the theory.
97
00:06:38,804 --> 00:06:42,944
She's particularly interested
in the medicine side of things.
98
00:06:42,994 --> 00:06:48,824
We've all benefited from, utility of
quantum mechanics with the smartphones
99
00:06:48,824 --> 00:06:50,624
and things like that, quantum computing.
100
00:06:50,724 --> 00:06:54,114
Peter: In terms of healthcare,
CAT scans, MRIs, x-rays.
101
00:06:54,174 --> 00:06:54,264
Ryan: Sure.
102
00:06:54,264 --> 00:06:54,624
Right.
103
00:06:54,683 --> 00:06:55,524
Peter: Those are, yeah.
104
00:06:55,614 --> 00:07:02,114
Ryan: And, she made a very specific
comment that medicine is essentially
105
00:07:02,214 --> 00:07:04,864
still stuck in the biochemical.
106
00:07:04,964 --> 00:07:08,524
Peter: So yeah, I mean it's this
kind of roadblock of knowledge
107
00:07:08,554 --> 00:07:12,804
or dead end that we've hit just
I think in knowledge in general.
108
00:07:12,864 --> 00:07:13,074
Ryan: Right.
109
00:07:13,074 --> 00:07:15,934
Peter: There's a lot of discussion
about how, as you said, the founders of
110
00:07:15,934 --> 00:07:21,284
quantum mechanics were very frustrated
with the incompleteness of the theory.
111
00:07:21,384 --> 00:07:26,394
Which is what Schrodinger's cat is,
is a satirizing and exaggeration
112
00:07:26,454 --> 00:07:30,174
of the problems of the theory,
the shortcoming of the theory.
113
00:07:30,274 --> 00:07:34,794
And that, it's not just physics
that hit that roadblock.
114
00:07:35,094 --> 00:07:35,244
Ryan: Right.
115
00:07:35,244 --> 00:07:39,514
Peter: Like all the other disciplines,
like medicine is limited because
116
00:07:39,574 --> 00:07:44,564
essentially medicine is completely
dependent on chemistry and physics.
117
00:07:44,594 --> 00:07:44,864
Ryan: Right.
118
00:07:44,984 --> 00:07:48,704
Peter: You know, she was a physician
who decided to become a physicist.
119
00:07:48,804 --> 00:07:54,034
And her vision is that by breaking
through this roadblock in physics,
120
00:07:54,134 --> 00:07:59,284
we can open huge horizons in, in
medicine, healthcare, and, and beyond.
121
00:07:59,464 --> 00:07:59,734
Ryan: Right.
122
00:07:59,914 --> 00:08:03,804
Peter: Because of course, every time
you crack the limitations of physics,
123
00:08:03,954 --> 00:08:07,044
you open up incredible new technologies.
124
00:08:07,144 --> 00:08:10,624
So yeah, she's a very, I
think, what's the word?
125
00:08:10,834 --> 00:08:11,884
Free thinker?
126
00:08:12,154 --> 00:08:13,114
Like visionary.
127
00:08:13,204 --> 00:08:13,384
Ryan: Mm-hmm.
128
00:08:13,624 --> 00:08:19,162
Peter: Very visionary, but, also very,
very committed to grounding herself.
129
00:08:19,162 --> 00:08:24,347
And she's like, I have to play like a
child and dream big and then constrain
130
00:08:24,347 --> 00:08:26,147
myself to what can we measure.
131
00:08:26,267 --> 00:08:26,477
Ryan: Right.
132
00:08:26,477 --> 00:08:28,877
Peter: And how can I figure
out how to measure it?
133
00:08:28,977 --> 00:08:32,376
And she just goes back and forth
between these, these states.
134
00:08:32,477 --> 00:08:35,727
Which kind of reminds me of Hoffman.
135
00:08:35,876 --> 00:08:35,967
Ryan: Mm-hmm.
136
00:08:36,067 --> 00:08:36,967
Peter: Talking about meditating,
137
00:08:37,097 --> 00:08:37,217
Ryan: yeah,
138
00:08:37,217 --> 00:08:38,297
Peter: and then doing science.
139
00:08:38,302 --> 00:08:38,582
Ryan: Right.
140
00:08:38,682 --> 00:08:38,952
Peter: Right?
141
00:08:38,952 --> 00:08:40,832
And swinging between those states.
142
00:08:40,932 --> 00:08:43,741
So you already mentioned,
open versus closed systems.
143
00:08:43,861 --> 00:08:43,922
Ryan: Yeah.
144
00:08:44,212 --> 00:08:49,622
Peter: Physical experimental systems
being inanimate and closed and being
145
00:08:49,722 --> 00:08:52,152
at or near equilibrium, as she says.
146
00:08:52,252 --> 00:08:57,802
And then living systems are open systems
that are, never very near equilibrium.
147
00:08:57,832 --> 00:08:59,282
They're constantly building.
148
00:08:59,432 --> 00:08:59,642
Ryan: Yeah.
149
00:08:59,832 --> 00:09:03,522
Peter: She uses the term negentropic,
which I just thought was great.
150
00:09:03,622 --> 00:09:07,972
And she talks about current physics and
future physics, current physics being
151
00:09:07,972 --> 00:09:13,702
matter and energy and future physics
adding information into the equation,
152
00:09:13,802 --> 00:09:16,952
that's her vision is to break through.
153
00:09:17,142 --> 00:09:25,972
And her intention is to refine this
nanotech biological system that she works
154
00:09:25,972 --> 00:09:32,012
with, to sufficient resolution to perform
this experiment; we don't know what it
155
00:09:32,012 --> 00:09:34,552
would be, that will crack the barrier
156
00:09:34,552 --> 00:09:35,482
Ryan: mm-hmm
157
00:09:35,483 --> 00:09:36,282
Peter: of quantum physics.
158
00:09:36,533 --> 00:09:44,423
Ryan: So she, specifically about the
DNA polymerase, is enamored by both
159
00:09:44,453 --> 00:09:50,313
the energy efficiency of the molecule,
and its processing volume and speed.
160
00:09:50,313 --> 00:09:55,573
She speaks to how the DNA polymerase
as it's transcribing and building
161
00:09:55,623 --> 00:10:01,143
does a hundred billion computational
steps per 10 milliseconds.
162
00:10:01,243 --> 00:10:06,953
And will be able to error correct
itself when there's mutations.
163
00:10:06,953 --> 00:10:10,763
She does talk a little bit about whether
those mutations are random versus
164
00:10:11,003 --> 00:10:15,293
environmental or quantum, and this is
part of where she's going with this is
165
00:10:15,593 --> 00:10:21,663
to determine if there is a consequential
quantum and environmental element , that's
166
00:10:21,663 --> 00:10:27,373
where information comes in, versus
something that's Darwinian and is random.
167
00:10:27,473 --> 00:10:31,033
Peter: So you were starting to say
that she's interested in the polymerase
168
00:10:31,033 --> 00:10:32,443
as a machine, as an nano machine.
169
00:10:32,443 --> 00:10:32,593
Ryan: Right.
170
00:10:33,673 --> 00:10:39,227
Peter: And she suspects that the way
DNA polymerase works, may be exploiting
171
00:10:39,227 --> 00:10:42,882
quantum effects, in a non-trivial
way, for function and efficiency.
172
00:10:42,882 --> 00:10:49,342
So you named the function of calculate
a hundred billion steps per base pair.
173
00:10:49,342 --> 00:10:56,012
So each time the polymerase reads a
base of DNA, it needs to perform a
174
00:10:56,012 --> 00:11:01,862
hundred billion computational steps
in order to find the correct base to
175
00:11:01,862 --> 00:11:06,492
attach to the base that it wants to
connect, to build the matching strand.
176
00:11:06,592 --> 00:11:10,382
But the other piece of it is that,
the polymerase is also acting as a
177
00:11:10,382 --> 00:11:14,992
molecular motor, because it's moving
mechanically along the DNA strand.
178
00:11:15,092 --> 00:11:19,032
And as a molecular motor, it's 99.9%
179
00:11:19,132 --> 00:11:19,942
efficient.
180
00:11:20,042 --> 00:11:26,042
And she says that, compared to 20 to
40% for an internal combustion engine.
181
00:11:26,072 --> 00:11:26,282
Ryan: Right.
182
00:11:26,382 --> 00:11:34,252
Peter: That these two extraordinary
features of the nano machine suggest to
183
00:11:34,252 --> 00:11:36,498
her that something strange is going on,
184
00:11:36,558 --> 00:11:36,738
Ryan: right,
185
00:11:36,738 --> 00:11:40,018
Peter: that's beyond the
purview of just regular physics.
186
00:11:40,118 --> 00:11:45,548
And so she suspects that there are quantum
effects happening, or that the polymerase
187
00:11:45,648 --> 00:11:51,118
is exploiting quantum effects in some
ways, to give itself these superpowers.
188
00:11:51,198 --> 00:11:56,513
Ryan: And I think that those are
both indicators, and potential uses.
189
00:11:56,693 --> 00:11:56,903
Right?
190
00:11:56,913 --> 00:12:02,653
If we understand better how
it manages to achieve a 99.9%
191
00:12:02,653 --> 00:12:09,523
energy efficiency, that that could help
us in the material world to achieve
192
00:12:09,523 --> 00:12:12,593
better efficiencies in energy usage.
193
00:12:12,693 --> 00:12:19,863
And then she did say specifically,
the non-trivial quantum effects is the
194
00:12:19,963 --> 00:12:21,913
question that starts the whole thing.
195
00:12:21,913 --> 00:12:25,253
The effects of the quantum
collapse, and the coherence,
196
00:12:25,303 --> 00:12:31,588
historically has been dismissed as
trivial to the biological system.
197
00:12:31,588 --> 00:12:37,568
Her first step in pursuing this
theory is to determine does the
198
00:12:37,568 --> 00:12:43,928
collapse happen before the end of
the computational phase, or after.
199
00:12:43,928 --> 00:12:49,348
So if it extends long enough, then
we can interpret that there is a
200
00:12:49,348 --> 00:12:55,728
potential for non-trivial impact of
quantum mechanics, versus if it happens
201
00:12:55,728 --> 00:12:57,958
so fast that it would be trivial.
202
00:12:58,178 --> 00:13:03,908
Peter: So does quantum ness
or superposition exist in this
203
00:13:03,908 --> 00:13:06,438
system, of DNA and polymerase,
204
00:13:06,538 --> 00:13:06,958
Ryan: long enough
205
00:13:06,958 --> 00:13:10,958
Peter: long enough to be relevant
to, basically for the time
206
00:13:10,958 --> 00:13:13,158
needed to read a base pair,
207
00:13:13,218 --> 00:13:13,428
Ryan: right.
208
00:13:13,528 --> 00:13:14,998
Peter: Which, as you
said, is 10 milliseconds.
209
00:13:15,098 --> 00:13:20,868
So she has a specific timeframe for
which she needs to demonstrate the
210
00:13:20,868 --> 00:13:23,908
sustained coherence of a quantum state.
211
00:13:23,968 --> 00:13:24,418
Ryan: Yes.
212
00:13:24,518 --> 00:13:27,738
Peter: I get that there's a thing
called superposition, which means
213
00:13:27,738 --> 00:13:29,838
you are two things at the same time.
214
00:13:29,938 --> 00:13:33,998
If you're a cat, you're alive and dead
at the same time, if you're a photon,
215
00:13:34,268 --> 00:13:38,408
you're a wave and a particle at the
same time, and then at some point
216
00:13:38,508 --> 00:13:44,838
that superposition collapses or that
quantum coherence has a decoherence.
217
00:13:44,838 --> 00:13:46,098
Ryan: Mm-hmm.
218
00:13:46,104 --> 00:13:51,168
Peter: And when that happens, now you've
gone from an indeterminate state of
219
00:13:51,168 --> 00:13:55,473
being both things to the determinate
state of being a single thing.
220
00:13:55,583 --> 00:13:55,873
Ryan: Yeah.
221
00:13:55,923 --> 00:13:57,463
Peter: Okay, now here's the question.
222
00:13:57,563 --> 00:14:03,390
Is the coherence very short or very
long ? Because, I read somewhere that
223
00:14:03,420 --> 00:14:09,950
the reason that we can see photons
collapse is because there are so many
224
00:14:09,950 --> 00:14:15,140
of them that the odds of some collapsing
at any given time are, are high.
225
00:14:15,190 --> 00:14:20,560
But that the the timeframe of
decoherence is extremely long.
226
00:14:20,710 --> 00:14:20,800
Ryan: Mm.
227
00:14:20,980 --> 00:14:22,750
Peter: Like thousands
or millions of years.
228
00:14:22,850 --> 00:14:25,760
And the, the only reason that we
see the decoherence is because
229
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,880
of these huge numbers of events
that we're we're considering.
230
00:14:29,980 --> 00:14:34,970
On the other hand, I thought I
understood that superposition only
231
00:14:34,970 --> 00:14:39,135
happens for infinitesimally small
amounts of time before collapse.
232
00:14:39,185 --> 00:14:44,190
And then Penrose says it's all about,
okay, now we're in the measurement
233
00:14:44,190 --> 00:14:48,440
problem because we're saying, oh, it's
not about the time, it's about whether
234
00:14:48,540 --> 00:14:53,070
there's an observer or not, because the
observer is what creates the collapse.
235
00:14:53,310 --> 00:14:57,070
And Penrose says, no, it's not
about an observer, that's garbage,
236
00:14:57,170 --> 00:14:59,310
gravity is what creates the collapse.
237
00:14:59,410 --> 00:15:01,850
And i'm not even sure how
that happens, because does,
238
00:15:01,850 --> 00:15:06,210
Ryan: well I think he was, he was
talking about how Mass had impact on the
239
00:15:06,260 --> 00:15:09,570
Peter: so the mass of the thing
allows you to calculate how
240
00:15:09,570 --> 00:15:11,610
long the coherence will be.
241
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:12,690
Ryan: That's what he said.
242
00:15:12,700 --> 00:15:13,030
Peter: Right.
243
00:15:13,210 --> 00:15:13,360
Ryan: Yeah.
244
00:15:13,540 --> 00:15:17,200
Peter: So is he saying it's
very short because photons
245
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:17,650
Ryan: are small.
246
00:15:17,650 --> 00:15:20,060
Peter: Are small so they have very low
247
00:15:20,110 --> 00:15:20,810
Ryan: or is it the other way around?
248
00:15:20,810 --> 00:15:24,230
Peter: Gravitational effects, so
therefore they immediately collapse.
249
00:15:24,330 --> 00:15:25,110
Ryan: Think it's the other way
250
00:15:25,110 --> 00:15:26,110
Peter: so if you're a planet
251
00:15:26,115 --> 00:15:29,360
Ryan: saying if, if it's
big, it collapses quickly,
252
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,360
Peter: immediately, right?
253
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,220
If you're a planet, you're just a
planet, you're not like two kinds
254
00:15:33,220 --> 00:15:35,860
of planet, you're not, you're not
dead and alive at the same time.
255
00:15:35,990 --> 00:15:38,830
But if you're a tiny
photon, you maintain your
256
00:15:38,930 --> 00:15:40,640
Ryan: quantum state for
a long period of time,
257
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:41,720
Peter: for a long period of time.
258
00:15:41,810 --> 00:15:43,130
Ryan: I think that's what he was saying.
259
00:15:43,230 --> 00:15:48,610
Peter: Right, so what she's saying
is that the quantum state of the
260
00:15:48,710 --> 00:15:55,840
DNA polymerase, DNA and polymerase
complex has to be long enough, has
261
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,240
to be at least 10 milliseconds.
262
00:15:58,245 --> 00:16:03,025
If she can demonstrate that, then
she knows, okay, that's a relevant
263
00:16:03,115 --> 00:16:03,355
Ryan: right
264
00:16:03,415 --> 00:16:04,465
Peter: timeframe.
265
00:16:04,565 --> 00:16:05,705
For what we're looking at.
266
00:16:05,855 --> 00:16:08,225
So we can use this for
a quantum experiment,
267
00:16:08,325 --> 00:16:10,285
Ryan: it at least says that there's.
268
00:16:10,385 --> 00:16:12,755
Potential for meaningful impact.
269
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:13,760
Peter: Meaningful interaction.
270
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:14,180
Ryan: Right.
271
00:16:14,180 --> 00:16:17,660
Peter: Because if it was shorter
than that, then there's no way the
272
00:16:17,660 --> 00:16:21,340
quantum effect could be impacting
the reading of the base pair.
273
00:16:21,370 --> 00:16:21,550
Ryan: Right.
274
00:16:21,650 --> 00:16:27,040
Peter: She cites some other examples
where, so this is leading edge technology,
275
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,000
experimentalism, or whatever, that
it's not, it's very controversial.
276
00:16:31,060 --> 00:16:31,150
Ryan: Mm-hmm.
277
00:16:31,420 --> 00:16:36,430
Peter: Still, but there are
couple of studies suggesting,
278
00:16:36,530 --> 00:16:41,120
the presence of non-trivial
quantum effects in living systems.
279
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,190
And she says there's some studies in
bird navigation, I believe it's bird
280
00:16:45,190 --> 00:16:49,150
navigation, and in photosynthesis,
which we haven't looked up with this.
281
00:16:49,210 --> 00:16:53,890
But she does indicate that,
she's not the only one looking at
282
00:16:53,990 --> 00:16:56,570
quantum effects in living systems.
283
00:16:56,670 --> 00:17:01,165
But it, it sounds like she's
the one who's most committed to
284
00:17:01,165 --> 00:17:03,145
creating the definitive experiment.
285
00:17:03,205 --> 00:17:03,535
Ryan: Right.
286
00:17:03,625 --> 00:17:06,744
Peter: And she feels like she has
a system that she's working with
287
00:17:07,045 --> 00:17:10,474
that she can continue to refine
in order to accomplish that.
288
00:17:10,535 --> 00:17:13,522
Ryan: Right, she has the roadmap.
289
00:17:13,522 --> 00:17:17,002
She seems to understand what
needs to happen, but that the
290
00:17:17,103 --> 00:17:21,643
tools and measurements, still
need resolution improvement in
291
00:17:21,643 --> 00:17:24,413
order to get to what she needs.
292
00:17:24,413 --> 00:17:28,683
And she cited resource as a main
component of that of course.
293
00:17:28,733 --> 00:17:31,823
And so she didn't talk
specifically about consciousness,
294
00:17:31,923 --> 00:17:33,753
except really at two places.
295
00:17:33,758 --> 00:17:37,543
At the beginning when she was
describing the idealist paradigm, and
296
00:17:37,543 --> 00:17:41,293
suggesting consciousness first and
everything else comes out of that.
297
00:17:41,393 --> 00:17:47,130
But then at the end, she went through
her theory and what her intent for her
298
00:17:47,130 --> 00:17:52,600
experiments and pursuit is, and then
started to describe what she was calling
299
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:58,850
the fifth industrial revolution driven
around AI, which is obviously continuing
300
00:17:58,850 --> 00:18:03,910
to develop, got into taking off her
scientific hat and putting on her humanity
301
00:18:03,910 --> 00:18:10,920
hat that, as we start to grapple with will
the electronic systems become conscious,
302
00:18:11,130 --> 00:18:14,370
what is the definition of consciousness?
303
00:18:14,670 --> 00:18:20,280
The pursuit of understanding consciousness
has been there for a long time.
304
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:26,903
It's the hard question that periodically
I think we poke at, but hasn't had
305
00:18:26,903 --> 00:18:33,373
the urgency, until now, where we have
now a compelling reason to have to,
306
00:18:33,443 --> 00:18:38,813
really understand and define what is
consciousness, what defines consciousness.
307
00:18:38,913 --> 00:18:44,343
And beyond that, if we take
the materialist paradigm to its
308
00:18:44,343 --> 00:18:50,963
natural conclusion, if fact, the
machines take over human activity,
309
00:18:51,063 --> 00:18:53,673
where is the purpose, right?
310
00:18:53,673 --> 00:18:57,483
What, where do we find the
value and purpose in life?
311
00:18:57,583 --> 00:19:02,443
And that the materialist paradigm
sort of shuts it down is basically
312
00:19:04,003 --> 00:19:04,573
Peter: right
313
00:19:04,723 --> 00:19:05,203
Ryan: being end.
314
00:19:05,303 --> 00:19:05,633
Peter: Right.
315
00:19:05,633 --> 00:19:07,673
And we heard this from Faggin as well.
316
00:19:07,678 --> 00:19:07,808
Ryan: Yeah.
317
00:19:07,973 --> 00:19:14,213
Peter: That if you adhere to the materials
paradigm, which is what is creating AI,
318
00:19:14,333 --> 00:19:14,513
Ryan: right,
319
00:19:14,613 --> 00:19:18,273
Peter: you maintain this mechanistic
perspective until the mechanisms
320
00:19:18,273 --> 00:19:20,193
exceed the capabilities of humans.
321
00:19:20,293 --> 00:19:23,633
And now the mechanisms have
more value than humans.
322
00:19:23,843 --> 00:19:28,413
And now humanity has destroyed itself
because it's created machines that
323
00:19:28,513 --> 00:19:30,843
have more value than their creators.
324
00:19:31,143 --> 00:19:31,383
Ryan: Right.
325
00:19:31,483 --> 00:19:38,253
Peter: And so, that fact of obvious
conclusion, compels us to shift
326
00:19:38,253 --> 00:19:39,693
our understanding of consciousness.
327
00:19:39,793 --> 00:19:43,463
And not to just change your minds,
but to really understand, to really
328
00:19:43,523 --> 00:19:45,923
answer the question as, you're saying.
329
00:19:46,023 --> 00:19:51,333
So there's this very dystopian, gloomy
message there, but at the same time, the
330
00:19:51,333 --> 00:19:56,713
converse is, and this is also I think
something that's we've heard consistently
331
00:19:56,813 --> 00:20:01,923
from people exploring these kinds of
ideas, that freeing ourselves from the
332
00:20:01,923 --> 00:20:09,553
materialist paradigm will open infinite
horizons, and usher in a golden age of
333
00:20:09,653 --> 00:20:11,693
combined spiritualism and technology.
334
00:20:11,933 --> 00:20:12,053
Ryan: Yeah.
335
00:20:12,213 --> 00:20:16,273
Peter: And that's something that she
talks pretty strongly about is, we're
336
00:20:16,273 --> 00:20:21,803
really past the point where we can
talk about oh, it's just technology,
337
00:20:21,903 --> 00:20:23,613
or, oh, it's just spiritualism.
338
00:20:23,663 --> 00:20:27,713
She points out that there's thousands of
years of, what I'm going call non-material
339
00:20:27,803 --> 00:20:34,603
technology, spiritual cultures and systems
and, and disciplines, that are focused
340
00:20:34,603 --> 00:20:38,243
on the non-material aspect of reality.
341
00:20:38,343 --> 00:20:44,333
But that they generally come at
the expense of material progress.
342
00:20:44,637 --> 00:20:47,212
And I think this is maybe
a trivial illustration?
343
00:20:47,212 --> 00:20:48,682
I don't know if it's a good illustration.
344
00:20:48,782 --> 00:20:54,832
But the apparent material dominance
of the West over the East, where
345
00:20:54,932 --> 00:20:59,512
these spiritual traditions are
stronger and more developed.
346
00:20:59,612 --> 00:21:01,882
And she also mentions indigenous peoples.
347
00:21:02,032 --> 00:21:02,152
Ryan: Mm-hmm.
348
00:21:02,392 --> 00:21:05,482
Peter: So there's another example
of like, yeah, I think you can point
349
00:21:05,482 --> 00:21:10,922
to pretty poor material success in
those cultures, even though there
350
00:21:10,922 --> 00:21:13,612
may be exceptional spiritual success.
351
00:21:13,612 --> 00:21:13,882
Ryan: Right.
352
00:21:13,982 --> 00:21:17,632
Peter: And that we shouldn't
be having either or.
353
00:21:17,752 --> 00:21:17,842
Ryan: Mm-hmm.
354
00:21:18,082 --> 00:21:22,832
Peter: You know, we shouldn't be
materially supreme and wealthy and have
355
00:21:22,832 --> 00:21:27,702
amazing technology, and chronically
depressed and anxious and troubled,
356
00:21:27,762 --> 00:21:27,972
Ryan: right,
357
00:21:28,062 --> 00:21:28,932
Peter: and sleepless.
358
00:21:28,982 --> 00:21:35,032
And that it's now is the time to
understand the relationship of
359
00:21:35,212 --> 00:21:37,132
the material and the non-material.
360
00:21:37,132 --> 00:21:38,782
Ryan: Mm-hmm.
361
00:21:38,833 --> 00:21:42,283
Peter: And I, I was gonna say exploit,
which is not the right term…
362
00:21:42,343 --> 00:21:48,833
leverage the understanding of both,
to create this abundance and harmony.
363
00:21:48,883 --> 00:21:53,373
Ryan: Yeah, I mean that, that has
been a consistent message amongst, I
364
00:21:53,373 --> 00:21:58,033
don't know if it's been explicit with
all the thinkers we've been exploring
365
00:21:58,033 --> 00:22:02,963
here, but definitely I know this one,
and I think others have described it
366
00:22:02,963 --> 00:22:08,653
as well, which is, the the historical
mystical philosophy has been, there's
367
00:22:08,653 --> 00:22:10,963
an interconnectedness with all things.
368
00:22:11,063 --> 00:22:17,843
And the historical materialist perspective
has been compartmentalizing everything.
369
00:22:17,943 --> 00:22:25,963
And I think it sounds like the idealist
philosophy has an expected outcome that,
370
00:22:26,063 --> 00:22:33,043
if proven, the widespread awareness and
understanding of our interconnectedness
371
00:22:33,043 --> 00:22:39,033
with each other, and the planet, and
all things will lead to better ethics,
372
00:22:39,133 --> 00:22:45,833
geopolitical and business practices, that
by and large society will be constructive.
373
00:22:45,863 --> 00:22:46,073
Peter: Yeah.
374
00:22:46,073 --> 00:22:50,303
I mean, it will transform
our concept of values,
375
00:22:50,363 --> 00:22:50,633
Ryan: right?
376
00:22:50,693 --> 00:22:52,403
Peter: Values and value.
377
00:22:52,553 --> 00:22:52,643
Ryan: Mm-hmm.
378
00:22:52,743 --> 00:22:59,133
Peter: I think the, the current Western
industrial idea is that more is better.
379
00:22:59,233 --> 00:23:01,763
That, I can and have, more than you.
380
00:23:01,863 --> 00:23:06,233
And if I have more than you,
then I am more valuable than you.
381
00:23:06,563 --> 00:23:11,063
I think the rise of dystopian fiction
is kind of an exploration of that.
382
00:23:11,376 --> 00:23:14,701
You know, I, because I think
dystopian fiction is all about
383
00:23:15,001 --> 00:23:17,161
the devaluation of the human.
384
00:23:17,371 --> 00:23:17,431
Ryan: Yeah.
385
00:23:17,531 --> 00:23:24,253
Peter: And tends to be about the
accumulation of power amongst the few.
386
00:23:24,403 --> 00:23:24,583
Ryan: Mm-hmm.
387
00:23:24,683 --> 00:23:29,123
Peter: And the division of haves and
have-nots and, you know, some few people
388
00:23:29,123 --> 00:23:33,913
at the top on the island are in the sky
or on the special planet or whatever.
389
00:23:34,013 --> 00:23:38,669
And the protagonists being
the undervalued, struggling
390
00:23:38,769 --> 00:23:40,179
people without resource.
391
00:23:40,329 --> 00:23:48,139
Um, and that with a real understanding of
both the nature of consciousness and the
392
00:23:48,139 --> 00:23:50,459
nature of reality, which will go together.
393
00:23:50,579 --> 00:23:50,729
Ryan: Mm-hmm.
394
00:23:50,969 --> 00:23:53,189
Peter: If we understand the nature
of consciousness, then we will
395
00:23:53,189 --> 00:23:54,449
understand the nature of reality.
396
00:23:54,449 --> 00:23:58,899
And once we have that understanding,
this idea of have and have
397
00:23:58,899 --> 00:24:01,469
not won't make any sense.
398
00:24:01,959 --> 00:24:06,879
And I think when that shift
happens, where it becomes
399
00:24:06,879 --> 00:24:09,679
viewed as scientifically proven.
400
00:24:09,714 --> 00:24:10,064
Ryan: Right?
401
00:24:10,249 --> 00:24:10,669
Peter: Right.
402
00:24:10,669 --> 00:24:15,479
It, it has the imprimatur of, oh,
the scientists have shown this.
403
00:24:15,579 --> 00:24:22,089
Then human culture will be able
to shift back to this harmonious,
404
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:23,989
kind of back to the garden, really.
405
00:24:24,199 --> 00:24:24,649
Right?
406
00:24:24,749 --> 00:24:28,189
So going way back to Joseph
Campbell and the garden, we lost
407
00:24:28,189 --> 00:24:29,809
the garden because of an idea.
408
00:24:29,909 --> 00:24:29,969
Ryan: Yeah.
409
00:24:29,969 --> 00:24:30,809
Peter: Or knowledge.
410
00:24:30,909 --> 00:24:33,219
But I mean, basically
it's a way of thinking.
411
00:24:33,224 --> 00:24:33,454
Ryan: Yeah.
412
00:24:33,554 --> 00:24:38,874
Peter: That I think it's pretty
trivial to hypothesize that that's
413
00:24:38,874 --> 00:24:40,554
talking about materialist paradigm.
414
00:24:40,584 --> 00:24:40,674
Ryan: Mm-hmm.
415
00:24:40,968 --> 00:24:44,768
Peter: Once you start thinking
that I know I need clothes.
416
00:24:44,868 --> 00:24:45,978
Clothes are important.
417
00:24:46,008 --> 00:24:49,348
Everything to get clothes and,
you know, everything I do.
418
00:24:49,348 --> 00:24:50,608
And God's not important.
419
00:24:50,608 --> 00:24:51,148
Ryan: Mm-hmm.
420
00:24:51,258 --> 00:24:53,058
Peter: It's the fact that
I'm naked, that's important.
421
00:24:53,928 --> 00:25:00,888
That now you've lost, you've lost
security, you've lost happiness.
422
00:25:02,823 --> 00:25:07,818
And the consistent message from these
thinkers that we're trying to listen
423
00:25:07,818 --> 00:25:14,988
to and read is that there's a very real
possibility that, by pursuing science
424
00:25:14,988 --> 00:25:21,468
in the right way, we can actually bring
humanity from the brink of dystopia, to
425
00:25:21,498 --> 00:25:25,148
this golden age, return to to harmony.
426
00:25:25,248 --> 00:25:29,538
Which is a very compelling idea,
a very compelling idea being put
427
00:25:29,538 --> 00:25:34,508
forward by people who seem not to
be crackpots on the street corner.
428
00:25:34,608 --> 00:25:34,818
Ryan: Right.
429
00:25:34,848 --> 00:25:37,028
Peter: I mean, people are
seriously pursuing this.
430
00:25:37,088 --> 00:25:37,148
Ryan: Yeah.
431
00:25:37,298 --> 00:25:38,528
Using the scientific method.
432
00:25:38,658 --> 00:25:38,868
Peter: Mm-hmm.
433
00:25:39,378 --> 00:25:44,698
Ryan: Well, I found this speaker quite
interesting to listen to, and I was
434
00:25:44,798 --> 00:25:52,208
inspired that there is a place in the
institution of science to come to this
435
00:25:52,308 --> 00:25:54,468
intellectually and scientifically.
436
00:25:54,468 --> 00:26:01,448
Not just from people who have had
experiences, but that there's a growing
437
00:26:01,548 --> 00:26:06,328
understanding that the materialist
paradigm is limiting us, and it's
438
00:26:06,328 --> 00:26:11,618
time to start expanding our concept
and considering an alternate view
439
00:26:11,618 --> 00:26:13,998
of how this all comes together.
440
00:26:14,724 --> 00:26:17,054
I would definitely encourage
everybody to watch the interview.
441
00:26:17,054 --> 00:26:20,844
I found it interesting, even if
you're not super scientifically
442
00:26:20,844 --> 00:26:22,924
inclined, it was interesting.
443
00:26:23,024 --> 00:26:26,364
So we'll link that and
the Essentia Foundation.
444
00:26:26,734 --> 00:26:29,754
There's other links to nanobiosym.com,
445
00:26:29,934 --> 00:26:31,414
that is Dr.
446
00:26:31,474 --> 00:26:39,391
Goel's company, and also the link to her
plenary discussion, so you could see both
447
00:26:39,691 --> 00:26:46,741
the interview and her plenary presentation
at the symposium; and if you watch
448
00:26:46,741 --> 00:26:48,181
it, let us know what you think of it.
449
00:26:48,604 --> 00:26:50,494
Till next time, talk to you later.
450
00:26:50,494 --> 00:26:50,764
Peter: Great.
451
00:26:50,824 --> 00:26:51,124
Thanks.
452
00:26:51,319 --> 00:26:51,539
