 I hope that you enjoy this thoughtful podcast.

Join us for a mind-expanding exploration of intelligence beyond brains! In this episode of the Heliox Podcast, we dive into groundbreaking research that challenges our fundamental understanding of cognition. Did you know that even bacteria make complex decisions? From single-celled organisms orchestrating internal "command centers" to the surprising sophistication of bacterial circadian rhythms, we discover how intelligence manifests in unexpected ways throughout nature. We'll explore how these insights could transform our understanding of animal cognition, artificial intelligence, and even the search for extraterrestrial life. Whether you're a science enthusiast or simply curious about the hidden wonders of life, this fascinating discussion will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about intelligence.

This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy

Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter.  Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.

Thanks for listening today!

Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.
