In this fascinating thought experiment, experimental philosopher Jonathon Keats and Tanja Seiner (BIOTOPIA) take us into the world of slime mold and how they can help us find optimal decisions for political and socieological scenarios. Jonathons Keats' experiments have revealed interesting answers to challenging questions of our time, like border control and climate change. Can we learn from slime molds how to optimize the political decision making processes?
