Michael Garfield & David Krakauer on Evolution, Information, and Jurassic Park

Episode Title and Show Notes:106 - Michael Garfield & David Krakauer on Evolution, Information, and Jurassic ParkWelcome to Complexity, the official podcast of the Santa Fe Institute. I'm Michael Garfield, producer of this show and host for the last 105 episodes. Since October, 2019, we have brought you with us for far ranging conversations with our worldwide network of rigorous researchers developing new frameworks to explain the deepest mysteries of the universe. Today I step down and depart from SFI with one final appearance as the guest of this episode. Our guest host is SFI President David Krakauer, he and I will braid together with nine other conversations from the archives in a retrospective masterclass on how this podcast traced the contours of complexity. We'll look back on episodes with David, Brian Arthur, Geoffrey West, Doyne Farmer, Deborah Gordon, Tyler Marghetis, Simon DeDeo, Caleb Scharf, and Alison Gopnik to thread some of the show's key themes through into windmills and white whales, SFI pursues, and my own life's persistent greatest questions.We'll ask about the implications of a world transformed by science and technology by deeper understanding and prediction and the ever-present knock-on consequences. If you value our research and communication efforts, please subscribe, rate and review us at Apple Podcasts or Spotify and consider making a donation or finding other ways to engage with SFI at Santa fe.edu/engage. Thank you each and all for listening. It's been a pleasure and an honor to take you offroad with us over these last years.Follow SFI on social media: Twitter • YouTube • Facebook • Instagram • LinkedIn📚Reading & Videos:The Lost World<br />by Michael CrichtonJurassic Park<br />by Michael CrichtonThe Evolution of Syntactic Communication<br />by Martin Nowak, Joshua Plotkin, and Vincent JansenInterPlanetary Festival 2018 + SFI Science Explainer Animations<br />by SFIComplexity Economics<br />by SFI PressSupertheories and Consilience from Alchemy to Electromagnetism<br />by Simon DeDeo (2019 SFI Seminar)How To Live in The Future, Part 4: The Future is Exapted/Remixed<br />by Michael GarfieldArtists Misusing Technology<br />by NXT MuseumThe Collapse of Artificial Intelligence<br />by Melanie Mitchell (2019 SFI Symposium Talk)The Debate Over Understanding in AI's Large Language Models<br />by Melanie Mitchell & David KrakauerWelcome To Jurassic Park<br />by Tink Zorg<br />(re: COVID-19 and the collapse of
