Episode Description from the Publisher

Dr. Jessica Rose & Dr. VN Alexander join The Ripple Effect Podcast for a deep, thought-provoking conversation that challenges mainstream assumptions about science, intelligence & reality itself. With backgrounds spanning computational biology, immunology, evolutionary theory & philosophy, they explore the limits of artificial intelligence, the complexities of living systems & why human consciousness cannot be reduced to algorithms. From questioning Darwinian orthodoxy to exposing the dangers of centralized technological power, this episode pushes beyond conventional thinking & invites listeners to reconsider what it truly means to be human in an increasingly artificial world.VN ALEXANDER, PhD (aka Tori):Website: https://vnalexander.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/rednaxelairot/X: https://x.com/torialexander72Substack: posthumousstyle.substack.comThe Girlie Playhouse (Book): https://heresy-press.com/product/the-girlie-playhouse-by-v-n-alexander/DR.
