Ruth E. Kastner earned her M.S. in Physics and Ph.D. in History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Maryland. Since that time, she has taught widely and conducted research in Foundations of Physics, particularly in interpretations of quantum theory. She was one of three winners of the 2021 Alumni Research Award at the University of Maryland, College Park (https://alumni.umd.edu/news/research-award-ruth-kastner-82-ms-92-phd-99) . She is the author of 3 books: The Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Theory: The Reality of Possibility (Cambridge University Press, 2012; 2nd edition just published, 2022), Understanding Our Unseen Reality: Solving Quantum Riddles (Imperial College Press, 2015); and Adventures In Quantumland: Exploring Our Unseen Reality (World Scientific, 2019). She has presented talks and interviews throughout the world and in video recordings on the interpretational challenges of quantum theory, and has a blog at transactionalinterpretation.org. She is also a dedicated yoga practitioner and received her 200-Hour Yoga Alliance Instructor Certification in February, 2020

 summary
 
In this episode, we explore the philosophical foundations of science, evolution, and consciousness with Richard, delving into how our framing influences our understanding of reality and the importance of embracing subjectivity and resonance. Richard explores the deep connections between evolution, cognition, and resonance in biological systems, challenging traditional views and proposing a cognition-first perspective that has profound implications for society and technology.

 key  topics
 
The metaphysical assumptions underlying scientific methods
Resonance as a principle connecting physics and consciousness
The limitations of objectivity and the importance of subjectivity
Transitions in biological evolution and the concept of individuality
The influence of philosophical framing on scientific conclusions Transitions in individuality and evolution
Resonance between cellular and organismal fitness
Cognition as an intrinsic property of physical systems
The role of learning and adaptation in evolution
Implications of a cognition-first view for society and AI
 
takeaways
 
Scientific methods are based on choices of framing that influence outcomes.
Resonance illustrates how systems are interconnected at a fundamental level.
Objectivity and subjectivity are not mutually exclusive but interconnected.
Evolutionary transitions challenge traditional views of individuality.
Our understanding of reality is shaped by the metaphysical assumptions we hold.
