NEW podcast episode is up! Dr. Michael Levin — Reprogramming Bioelectricity, Updating “Software” for Anti-Aging, Treating Cancer Without Drugs, Cognition of Cells, and Much More Dr. Michael Levin (@drmichaellevin) is the Vannevar Bush Distinguished Professor of Biology at Tufts University and director of the Allen Discovery Center. His background is in computer science and biology, and his group works at the intersection of developmental biophysics, computer science, and cognitive science. He is primarily interested in how intelligence self-organizes in a diverse range of natural, engineered, and hybrid embodiments. Levin has been developing a framework for recognizing and communicating with unconventional cognitive systems. Applied to the collective intelligence of cell groups undergoing morphogenesis, these ideas have allowed the Levin Lab to develop new applications in birth defects, organ regeneration, and cancer suppression. His lab also produces synthetic life-forms (e.g., Xenobots and Anthrobots) that serve as exploration platforms for understanding the source of patterns of form and behavior in a wide range of natural, artificial, and hybrid embodied minds. Please enjoy!

Holy sh*t… Anthropic just released a prompt engineering bible. It’s free. It’s insanely well written. And it covers real Claude use cases. Every AI builder should bookmark this. Here’s what’s inside + link:

ALERT 🚨 WE NEED STARLINKS IN IRAN TO GET IRANIANS WHO WANT FREEDOM CONNECTED TO THE WORLD. PLEASE RESHARE THIS MESSAGE. A few years ago Mehdi and I and a few other activists were able to buy and get Starlinks to the Women Life Freedom protesters so that they could communicate with the world without the government being able to block them. I personally bought these in the pics I’ve attached and flew them to a location outside Iran and then the team found multiple routes in. Other volunteers bought more and found routes in. We’re sending a message to anyone who has any of them that are not active now to connect again to us so we can reconnect them and pay for the monthly fees. EACH STARLINK CAN CONNECT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. HOW YOU CAN HELP IRANIANS WHO WANT FREEDOM NOW. THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT IS BLOCKING AND THROTTLING INTERNET AGAIN. INTERNET IN THE NORTH OF IRAN (SHOMAL) IS ALSO VERY LIMITED WHERE MANY HAVE ESCAPED FOR SAFETY. If you want to help with sending more terminals to Iran reach out to us. You can even buy them directly from Starlink and we can help with delivering them to Iran to freedoms activists. You can also go to retail locations like Best Buy and buy 5 at a time and we will make sure to get it there. My email is Shervin@Pishevar.com and cc Mehdi is mehdistarlink@toosheh.org to coordinate your donations.

If you think you had a bad day, just read this and sit with it for a second. Whatever you’re stressed about probably doesn’t matter as much as you think. Life is so fragile. Hug your people. Let the small stuff go.

Extremely excited to see this alliance between Anthropic and Apple. I remember using Xcode in college to build iOS apps. I’d spend all nighters trying to debug my crappy objective C code. This would have changed everything for me.

Loved this conversation that I had with Eric Ries who has been an inspiration to me since college. I still recommend Lean Startup as a must read for any aspiring entrepreneur.

@britton Love this!!!

I’m excited to announce the launch of my new company Conscious Talent. The vision is simple. Let’s turn work into a vehicle for consciousness evolution. Three years before we sold my last company to Salesforce, I had a spiritual awakening that cracked my life open. For a while, I thought I might need to become a monk and leave business behind. But I eventually realized something surprising. Being a startup founder and facing the demands of modern life was actually the most fertile ground for self-awareness and transformation. My work wasn’t a distraction from my consciousness journey… it was the path. I wondered why there was such a disconnect between the place we spend the most time and the self awareness journey. It became obvious to me that life is much more fulfilling when personal and professional growth are integrated. And I wasn’t alone. I started sharing my journey and met other leaders on similar paths, and began to notice a pattern. These leaders weren’t just looking for fat paychecks. They longed for something more…but finding it wasn’t easy. They wanted teammates who would excel at their jobs AND were equally committed to their own inner development. They wanted to work at companies that would support the full spectrum of growth. And they wanted to work with people who could get shit done, from a place of wisdom. These types of people and opportunities exist, but they're hard to find. That’s why my wife @ztsekouras and I created Conscious Talent. Conscious Talent connects high-performing, self-aware leaders with companies who value both professional excellence and personal evolution. We help leaders find opportunities that align with their values, their gifts, and their growth paths. We partner with companies to help them find exceptional talent who also embody the emotional intelligence, depth, and self-awareness required to lead in today’s world. For too long, we've separated personal evolution from our professional lives. It’s time we collectively learn how to weave our inner and outer worlds together, as we build our careers and companies. If you’re a leader looking for aligned opportunities, join our talent network. (link in next thread) If you’re looking to hire conscious talent, reach out. (link in next thread) And if this vision resonates with you, we’d love your support in getting the word out. Tag someone who should know about us. 🙏 There’s a new way to work that’s emerging and we’re building bridges for those who are ready to walk this path. Thanks to everyone who has inspired and supported us in bringing this vision to life!

@shamir_k @i2pi @indinero Miss you buddy ❤️❤️❤️

I remember this was on the table when @i2pi and I met @JessicaMah of @indinero for the first time.

I’m amazed at how many high-performers have serious or chronic health issues like TMJ, severe muscle pain, carpal tunnel. I’ve dealt with my share of health issues; imho it all comes down to stress. A story about stress and what I’ve learned from managing it... **Read On**
