all in their head. That's not necessarily true. Many young men do develop erectile dysfunction because of biologic factors, but the data is really robust on older guys. So above the ageof 50, we see 52% of men having erectile dysfunction, which is 52%.
- And at the time, Jim was associated with the Santa Fe Institute, and he started asking around with, is there anyone up here that's interested in these biological scaling relationships? And then the president at the time said, "You know what? I know of this physicist who's up at Los Alamos who was talking about biological scaling relationships." And so we met Geoffrey and it was like immediately,
Boredom is well, it's boring. People don't like it, but the truth of the matter is that we are designed biologically to be bored a lot. There's a set of structures in our brains called the default mode network. It turns on when you're undistracted, when you're bored. That's the set of structures that we need for right hemispheric activity
21 22. My adopted mother was very gracious because I said I won't meet my biological mother without the permission of my adopted mother. She did all the work of raising me. all the hardships, all of my she put up with all of my rambunctiousness and teenage years and uh drove me to hockey practice and you
of the the ODNI. And that instead their primary concern was that Iran was going to focus resources into the research of biological and chemical weapons. So the fact that in March of 2025, the ODNI, the assessment of all intelligence agencies, said Iran is not working on a nuclear weapon. And then, after the strike in June of the same year, where
are because of folks with a different skin color than you." That speaks to something that's you know, that's that's biological. But, I I I think that you know, there's um there's a silver lining here in our failures as as a broad sort of left movement to compete with this storyline. It's that there's a true
self- scrutiny. It's just like it's not there. so predictable from the point of biologically, if they don't know, you know, I have this superpower that I'm actually sensitive to environmental cues
Cyber and neuro links, again, the same thing. Biological computing, even intracellular. We're finding that the place where Moore's law has to cross.
There are also a reductionist theories of consciousness from functionalist approaches, where consciousness is just basically taken to be a giant algorithm or computation, biological approaches to consciousness-- my colleague Ned Block was here, I know, talking about neurobiology-based approaches, where it's not the algorithm that matters, but the biology it's implemented in-- and indeed, the kind of quantum approaches that people like Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff have made famous.
We're not really ever a literal kind of closed circle of game culture that you're either in or you're out. Biological organisms change shape even if they don't want to.
You can count on getting food from someone else. Biological things tend to scale with body size, and the modal mammal weighs about 50 grams,
In my case, it's caves, and rock overhangs, and things like that. Biologically sensitive environments-- even with astronauts on site, these planetary protection protocols, these planetary protection concerns
I know that I have forced all of you to go back in time to ages when there was no electricity. Biologically. You can't prevent it.
I don't say-- it's not prose reuse, but it's efficient. biological engineering are considered extremely dangerous, and no matter how much we discuss it, there is an inherent complexity here that
And she has a graph from zero to five. biological mechanisms across disease.
biological and physiological contributions to um uh political ideology but then the question becomes
biological prime time though is my favorite because it's when we're naturally the most productive and so you
biological activity um like um this is a really con a lot of Marine Mammal populations have very constricted
biological systems, will be hackable and transformable.
Biological containment to make sure that the organisms themselves don't multiply in ways we don't want.
Biological science-- there's induction.
Biological evolution depends upon the recombination of genes.
Biological evolution is glacially slow.
biological beings, what that means to how we react to other things, in addition to religion, such as sexual desire, or love, and other aspects that
biological ambitions and so forth, was just a tissue of forgeries.
Biologically. With something that is mellow and is not really recognized by the public health authorities.
biologically-intensive practices. In fact, one of our interns trained the basis for that
biological feeling is the same. The need for romance, which is also a part of the biological neurological aspects.
biological yeah that's a very good question particularly with respect to patenting biological
biological explanation was by Plato who said the god of love lives in a state of
biological diversity. We have the same seasonal variation, but we don't use
biological urges being here. Second, except for Martin, no one's making a buck here in the next hour, right? So why are you here?
biological memory you want to remember names and faces you don't want to have to look at your handheld device to say
Our biological need to contract muscle is more than just about physical health and metabolism.
So biologically-- I'll use myself as an example.
Their biological clocks have slowed down relative to ours.
family. Kind of a complicated story. Your biological mother adopted you at 16 years old. Put us up for adoption at 16 years old.
know each other. Uh she had a lot of uh questions about how my life had been and uh I had a lot of questions about our our biological family, about her father who was a really great man. I would go on to meet a great Irishman and um the circumstances that led to my my conception and and birth. And I
is biologically obviously rather important. If you're in danger, you feel fear. Fear is symptomatic of a need.
those biological functions took on a whole new level of significance.
with biological sort stem cells so that the body can-- neural tissue can grow into the interface.

of biological advantage because of how her body is made up, it's immediately considered unfair.
and biological sex, which means delinking assumed continuities between chromosomes, hormones, genitals, reproductive-- and you can see I put non-reproductive there
of biological enhancement. So what if nanobots are capable of helping us think better
from biological weapons. It's been actually quite difficult to get the engagement of biologists on the dual-use/risks of their technologies and their research.
of biological evolution. Sticks have more urgency and impact.
Those biological symptoms become so crucial to shaping my behavior, changing what I'm doing with by preventative measures
The biological one, it sounds like adaptation isn't very effective.
My biological family? Yeah, your biological family.
