Jellyfish are canaries in a coal mine. If the coal mine is the ocean and the canaries are adapted to coal mines and will keep living and multiplying long after the miner drops dead. Lisa-ann Gershwin puts it a lot more scientifically in her new book Stung! On Jellyfish and the Future of the Ocean. She talks with Chuck about why jellyfish are right at home in the hotter, more toxic oceans we're creating, why the health of the ocean matters to everyone, whether they eat fish or not, and speaking of, the very particular mouth-feel of the jellyfish. This is the most Cnidarian-heavy radio conversation you will hear all week, we guarantee.

Dr. Lisa-ann Gershwin is director of the Australian Marine Stinger Advisory Services. She has discovered over 150 new species of wildlife. That's so many species!

Marine biologist Lisa-ann Gershwin reveals why jellyfish will rule what's left of the ocean.

Food gives life. It provides energy, strengthens social bonds and enriches culture worldwide. Our collective hunger has remodelled the globe. We have flattened forests, emptied seas and developed an incredible range of technologies to satisfy our collective appetite. Parts of the world have unrestricted access to nutritious food, but many regions are in desperate need of calories or micronutrients. Millions suffer and die from an excess of food while millions suffer and die from a lack of it.

This research group examines multiple aspects of the global food system, following food across academic boundaries from field to table. We cover the collective impact of technological innovations, market forces and human behaviour on global food security. Our aim is to explore how much optimisation can take place within the traditional architecture of our food system and explore the potential of emerging alternative food systems to provide solutions.

Food has the power to help billions, provoke conflict and make or break the economies of entire continents. By bringing together early career researchers from across the University for a seminar series and focussed reading group, we hope to stimulate wide discussion on some of the core questions faced in securing our global food future.


Robots, Insects And Lab Meat- Food In The Future

A podcast going over various implications of the findings of evolutionary psychology. Our brains are still evolving, and yet they run on paleolithic wetware. How do we navigate the 21st century given our evolutionary origins, and where we still need to improve the human condition?
Begins with some spoken word...

Evolutionary Psychology

How conscious is my dog? Can robots become conscious? Are people in a vegetative state conscious? Philosopher Professor Tim Crane and neuroscientist Dr Srivas Chennu look into our minds and wrestle with the meaning of what it is to be conscious.

As Alex continues to struggle with what sci-fi entails, the rest of us continue our entropic journey to the uncanny valley where sexbots are commonplace, sexual ethics and consent become convoluted, and we are left to wonder: do androids dream of electrocuting creeps? Mostly, though, we argue the merits and limitations of "bothels" and commodifying the cyborg body, Stepford Widowers anxiety, and botched BDSM dalliances.

Amanda Marcotte: De-evolutionary psychology

The emergence of the internet and social media has been spectacularly fruitful for the evolution of humanity. They connect the world, put all information at our fingertips and provide endless opportunities for self-expression, community and creativity.

In recent times, however, we have seen the dark side of technology arise: customized newsfeeds that seal us off from opposing world views, stoking our tribal identities. Data collection systems that compromise our privacy in ways we not may not understand. Sophisticated feedback loops that keep us hooked and threaten our peace of mind.

In this episode Jeff talks with David Riordan, Vice President of Media for Integral Life, about some of the ways we can inhabit the virtual world more safely and intelligently.

The Daily Evolver

The Shadow Side of Technology

Donald Trump at midterm is poised to be one of the most consequential presidents in modern history. Not necessarily for his policies, many of them odious (like his character), but for leading a frontal charge against the worldviews of modern globalism and postmodern multiculturalism.

Drawing on the latest headlines, I examine Trump and the Trump phenomenon in the light of cultural evolution. Can a government built on enlightenment principles of shared power contain an autocrat?

Plus, how has Trump’s vision of American greatness inspired so many people? How may his disruption of norms create positive results? What new opportunities are arising for those on the left and right to create a “new patriotism” that inspires both sides?

Cultural differentiation isn’t for the faint of heart, but integration makes it all worthwhile. I hope you enjoy the episode!

#260 6-17-19 Sexbots: Transhumanist Dream Or Post-Humanist Nightmare

Chatbots are the most common application of Natural Language Processing (NLP). Rasa is an open source framework that we can leverage to build our own chatbots. So we are delighted to have Rasa's data scientist and Head of Developer Relations, Justina Petraitytė, on our DataHack Radio podcast!

Episode #24: Exploring and Designing Chatbots with RASA's Justina Petraitytė

The only reason you’re here, reading this, is because there is an unbroken chain leading back from you to the origin of life itself. In nature, adaptations shaped by environments to solve the problems of survival and mating: Endless forms of beautiful complexity like echolocation, courtship dances, and lactation. For millions of years we’ve had to find food, find mates and take care of our children and for hundreds of thousands of years we’ve used language to communicate, made tools, formed societies and shared our cultural innovations. Evolutionary psychology sees the human mind as shaped by the problems we faced over and over again throughout our deep history. According to evolutionary psychologists nothing about human nature makes sense except in light of evolution.

The endless forms in the human mind include emotions, thought patterns, perceptions, and social interactions which can be discovered and examined by investigating their possible function in solving problems of survival and reproduction. Evolutionary psychology has had a massive influence on the field of psychology and public’s perception of the human mind. But, detractors also criticize evolutionary psychology for being biologically determinist, reactionary, and lacking falsifiability and scientific rigour. In this talk I’ll introduce you to the field of evolutionary psychology, its foundational principles and methods as well as common misunderstandings, questions and legitimate concerns.

Diana Fleischman, PhD is a Senior Lecturer in Evolutionary Psychology at the University of Portsmouth. After an internship at a chimpanzee research facility, Diana earned her PhD in evolutionary psychology at the University of Texas at Austin studying hormonal influences on disgust sensitivity.

After two research positions, one investigating handwashing and the other looking at hormonal influences on women’s psychology, Diana arrived at Portsmouth where she researches disgust and teaches a course on the Psychology of Human Sexuality. Diana is currently working on a popular book applying evolutionary psychology and animal training to romantic relationships. You can follow Diana on twitter @sentientist.
