This video follows the evolution of intelligence, from the simple nerve nets to the complex neural networks in humans that enable consciousness, learning, and imagination. I made this video with Max Bennett after reading his book which I enjoyed (https://www.abriefhistoryofintelligence.com/) Thanks to Jane Street for sponsoring this video.
