Diálogos de medianoche con la filosofía¿Son la vida y la inteligencia flores efímeras en la evolución del universo?Objetivo: Responder a la pregunta ¿son la vida y la inteligencia flores efímeras en la evolución del cosmos?
Dos posiciones enfrentadas en la comunidad científica:
Una. Posición mayoritaria. Denominada reduccionista. Su visión: la ley que gobierna la evolución del Universo es la Segunda Ley de la Termodinámica, según la cual, como sistema físico cerrado el Universo está abocado al equilibrio térmico: incremento del desorden y constante enfriamiento (actualmente, la temperatura media del universo es de 266 grados centígrados bajo cero); cuando la temperatura llegue a 273,15 grados bajo cero se acabará toda actividad...2024-10-2542 min

They discuss Jim's love for the book, the thinking behind the title, future books in the series, why Brendan avoided the word "religion," the nature of meaning, dissipative systems, Shannon information vs semantic information, relations vs static objects, meaning as adaptive information, the meaning of value, Gregg Henriques's Unified Theory of Knowledge, the meaning of learning, why the world is full of bogus learning, whether complexity increases over time, information overload, John Vervaeke's relevance realization, wisdom, evolution as learning, the...2024-10-2500 min
UTOKing with GreggEp 83 | UTOKing with Bobby Azarian | Romancing Reality on the Road to OmegaIn this episode, the cognitive neuroscientist and author of The Romance of Reality (see here for Gregg’s review), Bobby Azarian joins the program to discuss his “unifying theory of reality” and vision for bridging science and religion. Bobby explains how he interprets the universe through a universal learning algorithm and shares what this means for how we make sense of ourselves and derive meaning from the world. The two review Bobby’s book, draw connections between his views and UTOK and examine what is next in sharing his vision with the world.

Curious Apes#34 - Bobby Azarian: How Complexity Imbues The Universe With MeaningIn this episode I’m joined by neuroscientist Bobby Azarian, who authored the 2022 book, The Romance of Reality: How the Universe Organizes Itself to Create Life, Consciousness, and Cosmic Complexity. I interviewed Bobby two years ago when the book was released, where he explained to me how the second law of thermodynamics creates complexity as a way to increase entropy, and how life itself is a part of that process (see link below).
In this episode, you’ll find a discussion that builds on that previous conversation, exploring how this process of complexification imbues the universe with mean...2024-07-241h 18

Thinking Ahead with Carter PhippsBobby Azarian: The Beauty of Evolutionary ThinkingOn this episode of Thinking Ahead, we’re discussing one of my favorite subjects, evolution. Bobby Azarian is a cognitive neuroscientist, a science journalist, and a true evolutionary. His book The Romance of Reality explores the evolution of the universe and life, purpose, complexity, and consciousness with rich vision that far transcends the all-to-common reductionistic view. I’m always interested in visions of evolution that open up new pathways for people to appreciate the magnificent journey of the cosmos, and Azarian’s work is a wonderful example of exactly that type of an approach to science. In this lively conver...2024-05-291h 36
Ancient Future HeartThe Romance of RealityMarch’s book is the Romance of Reality by Bobby Azarian and it’s essential reading as far as I’m concerned. It’s essentially an attempt at a scientific theory of everything - the big kahuna in cosmology… and also LIFE. It’s a theory called adaptive complexity science and it integrates physics, biology, neuroscience, computer science, evolutionary theory and statistics.
Azarian, a cognitive neuroscientist, argues through rigorous scientific and mechanistic explanation that our biosphere and the entire universe are undergoing an adaptive transformation towards increased intelligence and complexity.
This is Pa...2024-04-0154 min

It (and this episode) is a deep dive into complexity theory, consciousness, cosmic evolution and what Bobby calls poetic meta-naturalism: The idea that the universe is not a product of randomness, but an iterative, directed evolutionary creativity. This natural creativity, Bobby argues, seeks to complexify, connect and become more conscious. 🥰 Support TED a...2024-03-292h 01
The Integral StageAUTHOR SERIES - "Agromancy" w/ Patrick Gac
In this special, quasi-Author Series video, Layman meets with Patrick Gac to discuss an innovative, natural-cycle based divinatory system that Patrick argues is compatible with and informed by some of the leading theory in our liminal worldspace, from John Vervaeke's 4-E cogsci to Bobby Azarian's cosmology.
Agromancy, meaning "divination of the fields", is a card deck based system that generates mandalas.

Smarter Not HarderDr. Bobby Azarian: Exploring the Depths of Neuroscience, Evolution, and ConsciousnessIn this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, our guest Dr. Bobby Azarian joins our host Dr. Ted Achacoso to give one-cent solutions to life’s $64,000 questions that include: How does the neuroscience of belief and cognitive biases, such as confirmation bias and the Dunning-Kruger effect, impact our resistance to changing beliefs and our approach to epistemic foraging? In what ways can understanding the concept of hierarchical emergence in the universe, and viewing everything from ant colonies to nations as a single organism, contribute to our understanding of consciousness, self-modeling, and mental resilience? How can the exploration of...2023-10-042h 13Dr. John VervaekeThe Future of Consciousness | Transcendent Naturalism #9In Episode 9 of the Transcendent Naturalism series, Dr. John Vervaeke, Gregg Henriques, and guest Brett Andersen delve into the intricate relationship between complexity, criticality, and consciousness. The episode explores the concept of self-organized criticality and its role as a linchpin in understanding a variety of scientific topics. Andersen introduces his work on the diametric model of autism and psychosis, and the trio discusses the growing consensus around criticality as a framework for understanding brain function. The episode also touches on the psychology of meaning, the nature of sacredness, and the transformative power of psychedelics. This intellectual journey culminates in...2023-09-061h 10Dr. John VervaekeThe Future of Faith: A Dialog on the Naturalization of Transcendence and Human Learning | Transcendent Naturalism #8Dr. John Vervaeke and Gregg Henriques once again welcome Brendan Graham Dempsey to engage in profound explorations of transcendent naturalism, wisdom traditions, and the crucial significance of adaptive insight within our current existential landscape. Through discussions on religious reconstruction, animism, hyper-agents, and the role of wisdom in technology, the episode explores the connections between the sacred and the modern world. Dr. Vervaeke emphasizes collective intelligence and agency, while Brendan Graham Dempsey passionately speaks on the unfolding process of the sacred. Gregg Henriques proposes concepts like "wise NAGI" and reflects on collective awakening.
