Fixing cancer cells and Immortality | TARGET: Cancer Podcast | Ep. 39
Michael Levin, a biologist studying regenerative and cellular regeneration, believes cancer arises when cells disconnect from the network that keeps them working towards larger goals. Cells become like amoebas, rolling back to a single-cell lifestyle with limited goals. He explains his work with the planarian flatworm as the holy grail of regenerative medicine with incredibly cancer-resistant and immortal properties.

This is an incredible discussion. That said, I would like to add just as others have in the comments section that I do think you should allow your guests to talk a bit more without interruption, but from reading all the comments, it’s clear to me you’ve picked up on that and have been open to that criticism! So, I’d rather leave this comment with encouragement: the fact that you have been so able to receive what your viewers have said here speaks a lot to your character, and to the health of your future as a podcaster and host. Please, always keep this humility close to your heart, and you will be successful in your endeavors. Good luck :)

Levin is simplistic about life and living. His assumed fix for cancer is just mechanistic. Cancer is unregulated growth. But it is a subset of the phenomenon of growth, which is a positive. Levin in essence only hovers on just basic electricity, aka potential difference, working in living cells at microcosmic levels. Thanks to evolving technology, we can ‘see’ the micro volt patterns in action. Levin has only tweaked it but doesn’t say anything beyond the ‘multilayered software, the process that harnesses individual sub-units towards larger scale goals’ of a group of cells. Well that’s precisely the biggest question in life, about what and how life came about and what in the heaven is that software that drives it??! All of religion, philosophy and recently the science has been asking that for aeons. No spectacular science or philosophy here. Levin is not saying anything substantial than that has already been established in biology by genuine scientists and technologists. True, that there are electric patterns that may drive the cells to establish self-organizing-energy-fields (SOEF). For example my arm will not grow to the size of a giant sequoia. There is an intelligence that creates that electric pattern. Just imaging the pattern and reverse engineering it will not take us to that intelligence. Playing around with the electric pattern is not going to fix cancer or make us immortal!

@chidieluke1445 3 ай бұрын

Thanks so much for your comment. You articulated by own reservations and comcerns about the inadequacies of his concept. He's not saying anything radically new per se. I am interested in cancer research too and I know it's much more than electricity however basic that maybe.

@udaykadam5455 3 ай бұрын

"doesn't say anything beyond the multilayered software, the process that harnesses individual subunits towards larger scale goal of a group of cell" Watch more of his videos, he explains enough details to build necessary intuition for that in one of the YT video, I don't remember exactly which one. Also, The emmergence of this complexity can be realised, if not comprehensible, through the principles of cellular automata. The same way the universe realises itself just from the simple possibility of 3 dimensional arrangements of the atomic/subatomic particles(simple local rules) results into the entire universe(incomprehensible complexity that becomes its entire new thing drastically shifting the ground truth), you me and this conversation after billions of years. Something we would likely witness in case of generalised AI models this decade. About Levin's work, I have a feeling, not only we would be able to control most of it, but recreate it as a simulation with the help of AI within these next few decades. Recent advancements has given us enough tools to generate enough data.

@ranjitmarcus4327 3 ай бұрын

Let’s call it the Operating System, in other words, Intelligence. Levin has not indicated even remotely anything about that driving intelligence. If a bunch of cancer cells are observed purely by way of their electric field, it will surely be different from the ‘normal’ cells. That’s because there is an underlying phenomenon or intelligence that’s causing it. A different subset of intelligence that is creating the normal cells. The electric field is only a product of that intelligence. For example let’s take a humble seed, a sunflower seed. The intelligence is present in the dry seed already. That then induces ‘Life’ under germinating conditions and then growth into the 3 dimensional space we are familiar with. Grow to about 6’ high and bloom flowers not minuscule neither giant as a rafflesia. Or not even as big as the moon! Cancer is this spatial expansion of cells miscalculated by the intelligence. It will be really helpful if Levin touches on this intelligence. That intelligence would have in it ethereal elements like intentions, feelings, willfulness and the like which then brings in elements and of course the ‘electricity patterns’ , linked with timelines and create life in flora and fauna and more in the physical world. ChatGPT or AGI is self limiting in this aspect as well. There has to be a paradigm shift from present science. It can’t be science at all as the term ‘scientific evidence’ itself is self defeating. Levin leans only on such limiting science.

Dr. SJ needs to stop showing off about things he doesn't understand, shut-up and let Dr. Levin do the talking. Then Dr. SJ might learn something; because otherwise his thinking is old-school. Dr. Levin is merging cognitive science and information theory with scalable biological dynamic functions. This is a multi-discipline approach that uses a logically different way of viewing and simulating organic functionality that ultimately points to a different way to approach medicine.

The problem with Scientists like Michael Levin approach is that they try to control life rather then understand and work interactively with what is there, . The aim should be how to benefit from given reality rather then trying to control it. Human beings are not worms, they don't aspire to live for ever.

"Death is opportunity to advance to the next step" And here you are talking about "what's wrong with these scientists", what about you, bud! They are doing some actual work besides just believing stuff without even the slightest of evidence, just cuz you had been indoctrinated with one of the many, very old "holy" books when you were a child. the same books that utterly fails to explain lots of simple things and is full of logical and scientific fallacies. You couldn't be farther from the truth, sir. Pick any detailed book about anthropology or general history, and look at the absurdities people like you believed back then due to lack of today's evolved understanding. Only difference would be, they were limited by the knowledge of their times, while in your case, you chose ignorance cuz of the cowardice to question.

During the industrial revolution the human body was described as a machine -- heart is a pump, Kidneys are filter ect. Now that we are in the tech age -- everything in body now is described as computer. FYI -- all Cancers are caused by mitochondria in cell using glucose for energy instead oxygen. The question that should be asked - if you really want to CURE CANCER is what triggers the mitochondria to do this??? Ever think about the cytoplasm of cell??? It is basically the water all of the cell organelles and proteins and other floats in ---- HOW ABOUT thinking the cytoplasm is toxic and this is what makes mitochondria disfunction. What makes the cytoplasm toxic??? Hmmm?? How about everything to do with toxic waves -- 4G, Electricity -- I remember when it was common knowledge that if you lived near power lines you had a risk of getting Cancer. Why do you think the bees are disappearing and many birds are getting sick. Michael Levin is BEING USED and his ego is getting in the way from him seeing the TRUTH>
