Philosophy and Computers 4: Evolution and Artificial Life. October 6, 2005. (49.22MB; download) -- The 4th recorded lecture in my Philsophy and Computers course, covering the second half of Chapter 3 of The Lifebox, the Seashell, and the Soul, see www.rudyrucker.com/lifebox. Topics: homeostasis, evolution, artificial life, robotics. I recorded this in stereo and equalized the sound (to the preset "Acoustic" curve) with the free Audacity program, and I think this one sounds better than my earlier posts.

Philosophy and Computers 2: Quantum Mechanics. Sept 22, 2005 (56.94MB; download) -- The 2nd recorded lecture from my Philosophy 115 class at SJSU. The lectures are based on my book The Lifebox, the Seashell and the Soul, see http://www.rudyrucker.com/lifebox for more info, and to download the Cellab and CAPOW software used in the demos being discussed. Note also that I didn't manage to record the three lectures that preceded this meeting of the class. Much of that material appears, however, in my talk at the Institute for the Future or at the Medial Lab which are titled "Lifebox Talk #1" and "Lifebox Talk #2".
