Dr. Michael Levin - Taking the Reins of Evolution, Bioengineering a Revolutionary Future

Part 3. The near future is unlikely to look remotely similar to anything this planet has ever experienced before. Bioengineering extends beyond regenerating limbs or custom-order brains; eventually it means that humans take the reins in directing the course of evolution. Dr. Michael Levin builds on our previous conversations and talks about the practical applications and complex philosophical implications of his work in greater depth. Mike is a researcher, entrepreneur, and brilliantly heterodox thinker; officially, he’s a developmental and synthetic biologist at Tufts University. More than that, he is an intrepid explorer of some of the most profound questions in both science and philosophy; widely read and deeply thoughtful, a prolific writer and eloquent speaker.

Primal Nature is a podcast and center for psychedelic therapy in rural Spain. 

We work primarily with people who have reached the limits of what rational analysis can offer in terms of healing or growth; our practice is centered on cultivating deeper relationships between feeling and understanding, body and mind, human and nature.

We offer therapy for individuals and couples, as well as workshops, retreats, and expeditions - in select locations throughout Europe, the Americas, and Africa.
