Solving our universe’s greatest mysteries may hinge on decoding consciousness, whether human, artificial, or extraterrestrial, and investigating if ancient forms of consciousness have been right under our noses. Harvard astrophysicist and UAP/UFO field investigator Avi Loeb discusses a future where we co-exist with super-intelligent AI and a possible “cosmic neighbor” capable of enlightening or conquering us. Also features developmental synthetic biologist and cognition researcher Michael Levin (creator of Xenobots, the first AI-designed bio-robots) and complexity scientists and origins-of-life researchers Stuart Kauffman and Joana Xavier, whose work may reshape our definition of life.
