The Overview Effect - Eduardo Castillo x Frank White at Summit at Sea

Pioneering space philosopher Frank White coined the term the “Overview Effect” to capture the profound cognitive shift experienced by astronauts as they view Earth from space, revealing our planet’s fragile beauty and the interconnectedness of all life.
In an intergalactic dialogue at the nexus of philosophy and creativity, Frank White is joined by renowned musical artist Eduardo Castillo, who has dedicated his life to bringing the Overview Effect to as many earthlings as possible. Together they explore captivating stories from artists and astronauts and explore the implications for humanity’s future. Discover how this cosmic perspective can inspire a new era of global unity, environmental stewardship and shared purpose.
I want to acknowledge that much of the astronaut- and space-related footage in this video comes from the Emmy-nominated NASA documentary, "The Astronaut's Perspective," which is part of NASA's excellent "Down to Earth" series. Here is the link to "The Astronaut's Perspective:"
