The Domestication of Humans and Unconventional Cognition
1:48:58 - 1:58:02 (09:04)
The speaker discusses how the domestication of humans by wheat and other things can be defined in different ways, and relates it to unconventional cognition and cellular automata.
Clips
The speaker discusses the challenges of studying unconventional cognition and understanding complexity in both natural and synthetic systems, drawing parallels to cellular automata.

The biological gene regulatory networks have associative memories that enable learning even with a bunch of nodes turning each other on and off at different rates.
1:51:33 - 1:52:41 (01:08)
Summary
The biological gene regulatory networks have associative memories that enable learning even with a bunch of nodes turning each other on and off at different rates. To be able to control the network, one must assume nothing and rewire it.
