Science and politics are very intertwined hence corrupted and hidden agendas abound. It's been very clear to me since over 30 years ago that our intelligence derives from the spiritual. Since the spiritual realm has been placed off limits for study, science stagnates. I think it was Tesla who said until physics goes beyond the matter world, progress in physics will stagnate. The organic structures exist to allow us to interact with this realm but intelligence derives from the spiritual realm. Global warming, big bang theory and covid scare, vaccinations and shutdown derive from monumental scientific fraud and political hidden agendas.

In making that leap from our compures faking intellect to true computational intellect we will learn much about ourselves, although we may not like the answers.

That was such a good film

I've always loved slime mold. It grows all over where I live, and one time (I believe), saved my fig tree from infection by eating the mold that had been screwing with my other fruit trees. Nice to know that it's even more interesting than I thought. I'll be checking out those papers in the description. 3:26 I do have an important semantical correction though. It's sex, not gender. The two are completely different terms with different meanings, and should not be used interchangeably.

You always learn something cool with Anton

I'll be waiting for the next video! I believe this might have a lot of applications in the future.

"I'm not gonna spoil that movie" Lmao something tells me that anyone who wanted to watch the blob, already has

I've been meaning to watch The Blob for years and also the apparently incredible 80s remake.

Glad you did a video on Slime Mold👍 It has fascinated me for years. (Collective intelligent of all types. Fungi, ants, bees- group behavior. Slime mold may be a Rosetta Stone.)

Anton, mi tocallo, spasiva! (The middle words is spanish indicating that we both share the same first name.) Wow you have totally surpassed all other subjects in previous videos. I am completely gassed! You had me on the very edge of my pc screen's chair! Dos Vedanya.

I came to the point I can like your videos before even seeing them.... and not being disapointed ! how pleasant Thanks you wonderful person

Wow. This organism surely must provide food for thought on the early stages in the development of life, perhaps particularly the step from unicellular to multicellular organisms.

The most fascinating video I've seen all year.

Yeah we basically have the same atoms that behave in the same way, our brain does like ours does therefore we call it a brain but what if a brain can be another kind of organ or tissue that just works differently than ours?

You have not once dissapointed me with your vids. There always so informative and mind blowing!

Bruhhh i love your content always interesting topics. Great job keep up the good wrk

tks Anton! fantastic work!

Actually in the 1950 movie "The Blob" only absorbed people not large objects. It also never actually addressed whether it absorbed their clothes,shoes or jewelry but it didn't go around absorbing cars ,tv sets or furniture. Also Burt Bacharach actually wrote the opening theme song,under a different name! Who knows maybe molds came to earth in a meteor like the blob!🛸🛸‼️

Love the content Anton! Keep it up!

The second you started being passionate about this form of life, I knew you'd say it was the most interesting or fascinating... And I smiled. The passion is refreshing. Cool.

"Doesn't need a brain" reminds me of BOB the blob in the animated Monster vs Aliens.

So much about the nature of things we don’t understand on a scientific level yet.

A ton Man U put our more new content than most I see here man , your crushing it man . Awesome dedication bro much respect

It's not just this Slime Mould that has Intelligence. Paul stamets talks of Mushroom Intelligence's quite often too. His research is really easy to understand, but it is also very complex in terms of what humans understand/what we are forced to understand.

I had one of these grow in a fish tank! So cool. Eventually had to drain the tank, wish I hadn't though.

In the Science Fiction novel "Clans of the Alphane Moon" author Philip K.Dick has a character called "Lord Running Clam" a telepathic Ganymedean slime mold.

Great story. I made the same connection while watching this program!

I was fascinated by this. interesting discoveries and potential.

Fascinating topic of life and intelligence. I heard that inside cells there are complex networks. Sounds like shortest path problem solving may be some kind of minimum energy process based on sense receptor inputs to the complex network inside the expanding single cell. Thank you, Anton, for presenting in a way that us non-scientists can understand.

Anton, I really think that you provide some of the best science based content on you tube! Really fascinating and very well presented. Thanks! :)

Sounds like the beginning of organic computers, with an AI installed. I hope it turns out better than in the movie.

The brain is a giant grey slime mold all along!

This is highly interesting, this can be use in so many ways

I feel like it also reminds me of the creepy red stuff that the aliens in War of the Worlds (the new one) harvest using the humans... **shakes in fear**

I see intelligence as too much of a humanised term. With what little I know about slime molds, I’d totally not be surprised if they indeed are smart beings. They’re like aliens on earth.

'Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are' is a good book on the subject. You probably knew that already.

I feel like the intelligence exhibited by the mold (like shortest path), could be explained by a set of chemicals and enzymes within the mold which are work together in such a way that they follow some kind of fundamental mathematical model. In terms of its ability to memorize, maybe that's also something to do with the set of chemicals/enzymes having altered concentration gradients which lead to a similar outcome when plugged into the mathematical model again

Problem solving and agile slime mold with its own adaptive routing protocol. I like this!

this is so fascinating, it really made my day. i just had to share this one.
