Another very interesting talk from Luca Dellanna, this time about the adaptive brain. I think I need to listen to the talk again (this is my first bash, a few days after listening), but essentially we start off by realising that minimising one risk is not necessarily enough – nor even helpful.

This makes sense from information/physical theories as the brain tries to ‘minimize free energy’ and surprise. The ball falling and…
