Three conditions are required for life to self-improve. Those are self-replication, variety, and selection. Once these mechanisms are in place, evolution takes its course.
Our goal is to bridge the gap between science and the public. We publish articles and videos on topics of philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, mathematics, and evolution. We also organize meetups for discussions, offer research and writing services, and comment on current events (for example, the pandemic).
This article summarizes the entire book and provides you with a step-by-step guide of modules that would need to be implemented for an artificial consciousness.
This article discusses the attention schema theory. It explains our subjective experience of the world but leaves us with more questions than answers.
Knowing how a system will behave in the future helps us to make adjustments in the present. This article discusses how models form the backbone of our mind.
This article discusses the connection between empathy, recognizing yourself in the mirror, and building a concept of your own and other people's minds.
Our ancestors took a unique path when splitting off the apes. This article describes the evolution of the human brain at each step of the way.
The history of the evolution of our senses explains how we experience consciousness. This article explains the brain's architecture by looking at our ancestors.
This article discusses the implications of the revolutionary theory that our brain uses evolutionary principles to come up with new creative ideas.
This article discusses the secret of our immune system. It uses evolutionary algorithms to beat usually much faster evolving viruses and bacteria.
Combining our knowledge of evolutionary principles, chemical evolution, and artificial life, we can draw a compelling picture of the first forms of life.
What is artificial life, how can we create it, and how can we identify it? This article discusses three different computer programs that resemble life.
Using basic properties of chemistry, we can observe evolution happening in non-living chemistry. This insight is essential in understanding the origin of life.
As long as a system has these three properties, it will continuously evolve. Understanding these principles is fundemantal for undstanding nature.
The theory of evolution has a long history. It took many different researchers to solve the puzzle how nature could exist without a designer.
When introducing agile methods, small improvements might lead to better results than a revolution. The advantage is the constant feedback you get at each step.

Can Consciousness be Simulated?
How did matter and life emerge from nothingness?
