Consciousness Unraveled: AI, Quantum Biology & Origins of Life — Johnjoe McFadden

Thank you for tuning in to this interview with Johnjoe McFadden, Professor of Molecular Genetics at the University of Surrey, United Kingdom. During this fascinating conversation, host David Bramante explores the connection between electromagnetic theories of consciousness and artificial intelligence with McFadden. They delve into a wide range of topics, including the big bang, punctuated equilibrium, self-replication, the anthropic universe, quantum mechanics, neural networks, and more. The feedback and information shared in this conversation have been invaluable, and we are grateful to all those who participated and contributed. Some highlights: — David Bramante interviews Johnjoe McFadden, a professor of molecular genetics at the University of Surrey. — McFadden has a theory about electromagnetic consciousness, which suggests consciousness might not be in the physical brain. — The interview touches on artificial intelligence and its connection to consciousness and neuroscience. — Bramante is reading McFadden's book "Quantum Evolution: Life in the Multiverse," which he finds interesting and accessible. — McFadden's other book, "Life on the Edge," will be read by Bramante next. — The discussion explores the origin of life and the primordial soup hypothesis, which suggests life began from a mix of chemicals. — McFadden highlights the challenge of explaining how life emerged from non-living chemicals despite entropy working against it. — The emergence of life on Earth happened relatively quickly in geological time. — The interview also addresses the concept of quantum biology and its relevance to understanding the origin of life. — Bramante and McFadden ponder the mystery of consciousness and question its nature and existence.
