Our team is anxious to begin compiling links to =ideos of all the suggested interviewees, but prior we'd like you t= decide which 13 shows to do (out of the 15) in the new structure. We can Skype (short) so you can select the 13 shows? East coast m=rnings, my nights. Alternatively, you can just tell me which 2 of t=e 15 episodes to cut - again attached and below (same) - and we'll=begin getting the links. All are enthusiasti= to go into production. Warm regards, Robert <=div> RADICAL BREAKTHROUGHS - Episodes Revi=ion — 2018.01.06 Closer To Truth Episodes — R=vised Topics & Titles: Now begins with series intro/ove=view; it will include the most compelling, startling ideas =f the series, both as a tease and in exemplifying the meaning of =A0Radical Breakthroughs. This will be the episode we will p=omote and it will be the episode reviewed. Each episode seeks to prob= the nature of reality and/or human sentience. (Episode topics a=d content need further development and will be modified during produc=ion.) CUT Two (2) Episodes =A0 =C2 =A0 1. =A0What are Radical Breakthroughs? EFTA_R1_01682091 EFTA02536174 How is "current belief =80 challenged in science? Does a challenge or change in physics di=fer from, say, a challenge or change in psychology? How do =80 paradigms" work? Is science ever relative, conditioned b= conventional wisdom or the prevailing culture? We examine chal=enges to 'current belief. 2. How is=Mathematics Truth? Overview of math - excitement, scope, meani=g and foundations of mathematics. 3. What are Breakt=roughs in Mathematics? Several math fields/sub-fields — fas=inating, surprising, radical (comprehensible) 4. =A0Why the 'Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics'= How math explains physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, ec=nomics, sociology 5. Why are Power Laws Powerful? 6. Can Mathematics Explain Biology? Now incl=des 'replicability crisis' (in addition to what =99s in the preproduction book) 7. Why are Plants Str=nge? 8. What is 'Strong Emergence =99? Can all, ultimately, be explained in terms of physics? Or =re there higher-level laws that are in principle impossible to predic=, even from complete lower-level information? 9. =A0Why is Deception Common? 10. Can Mathematics E=plain Evolution? Evolutionary Dynamics - Epstein program at Ha=vard. Not my expertise, but could well fit CU in general and Radical =A0Breakthroughs in particular. Would you like to include? 1=. What are 'Predictive Brains' & '=xtended Minds'? How do our brains represent the world?=How much do they rely on the world they represent? How might =98enlarging the mind' expand what it means to be human? 12. Can 'Integrated Information Theory' Ex=lain Consciousness? Quantifying and explaining consciousness (=iulio Tononi, Un of Wisconsin-Madison), plus supporters and critics. =adical, controversial, science-based theory. 13.=C2 Does 'Top-Down Causation' Make Sense? H=w does our mental life affect our physical world? By what mechanisms?=When we have self-organizing systems, can explanations flow from the =omplex to the simple? 14. Can Music Probe Mentality?=C2 (cognition / emotion) 15. What do Dreams Re=eal?

I now have 15 episod=s, adding several new ones (while cutting several old ones), using th= test of 'breakthrough'. As we discussed, the fir=t thing we must do is to finalize the 13 episodes. Once we finalize=the 13 episodes, then our CTY team will go through and include links to ev=ry expert in every episode (as you requested), prioritizing videos (Y=utube, etc). This will be part of the revised, complete Radical Breakthrou=hs preproduction book. Attached are my episode recommendations= As you see, I've added a series intro/overview; it will include t=e most compelling, startling ideas of the whole series, both as a tea=e and in exemplifying the deep meaning of Radical Breakthroughs.=C2 This will be the episode we will promote and it will be the episode r=viewed. There are 15 episodes on the list, which means that w= need to cut two. For each of the episodes I put a one or two line de=cription - except for the episodes that you suggested. Note that I added a= episode on your Evolutionary Dynamics program at Harvard, if you wan= to include. I've rewritten the title of each episode as a =uestion, closer to the actual format (though they will still evolve as we =et into details). So we need to get to 13 episodes by cutting = of the 15, and you need to sign off on the 13. Then we will go to w=rk getting all the links. If you want a short Skype to discuss= I'm 13 hours ahead in China, so your mornings (mystery nights) be=t. Please confirm receipt.
