- Keynote speech at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas - which took place at the concert hall of the Sydney Opera House.
"Part Timothy Leary, part Ray Kurzweil, and part Neo from 'The Matrix.'..."
JASON SILVA is an extraordinary new breed of philosopher who meshes philosophical wisdom of the ages with an infectious optimism for the future. Combining intriguing insights and a mastery of digital filmmaking, Jason delivers philosophical shots of espresso, which unravel the incredible possibilities the future has to offer the human race.
Called the "Timothy Leary of the Viral Video Age" by The Atlantic, and a "Performance Philosopher" by the TED Conference, Jason draws from his experiences as a television personality, a media artist, a filmmaker, and a techno-philosopher to share his inspirational take on scientific and technological advancements, the evolution of intelligence, and the human condition. Using his series of short videos, which The Atlantic described as "movie trailers for ideas," Jason explores the co-evolution of humans and technology. His videos have garnered over 2 million views.
Jason's work is a kind of "existential jazz," a fan says, "like a trumpet player or modern-day digital Mingus, he jams, riffs and rhapsodizes through a tumbling thicket of ideas with such a sharp and vital alacrity that it can take the breath away. He's a modern performance philosopher, reviving the vibe of Tim Leary and Buckminster Fuller and revivifying the dialogue that they started decades ago."
The Imaginary Foundation says, "Like some kind of Ontological DJ, he recompiles the source code of western philosophy by mixing and mashing it up into a form of recombinant creativity, which elevates understanding from the dry and prosaic, to a sensual cognitive romance."
Join Jason Silva every week as he freestyles his way into the complex systems of society, technology and human existence and discusses the truth and beauty of science in a form of existential jazz. New episodes every Tuesday.

All these comments discussing Jason Silva's habit to regurgitate thoughts and ideas written by others doesn't change the fact that he is a walking encyclopaedia of knowledge. He is original in his production of videos that stimulate and inspire people intellectually and aesthetically. As long as his messages spread 'radical openness,' positivity and convey the importance of pursuing knowledge... Just sit back and enjoy.
As a Cypriot, I love seeing someone else express themselves in such a manic manner. We're always using our hands and bodies to communicate. It's awesome being able to identify inter-culturally on that level.
+electricious80 its the art of the delivery, makes you feel.
+TheCarmacon where is your capacity of being amazed?..
+TheCarmacon His mind being blown isn't the problem, as much as how it's being blown. His mind isn't blown by all the evil in the world. His mind isn't blown by all the apathy and indifference in the world. His mind is blown by all the good in the world, and this is the problem. You said it excellently: "this man doesn't understand success since he does not embrace failure". He is unfamiliar with the null hypothesis. He's so optimistic that he doesn't realize that skepticism and falsifiability (pessimism, basically) is the cornerstone of scientific empiricism.
I study plants and photosynthesis, so the idea that there are organisms capable of escaping Earth's gravity and traveling to other celestial bodies is *insane* to think about. Unnatural, almost. It blows my mind. But I'm also aware that the vacuum of space isn't a place where Earthly organisms can easily survive, if at all. Whereas Jason Silva would think, "Space travel, yay! Technology! Gods!", he doesn't think of micrometeorites, of radiation, of decompression, of all the things that would kill chemically based life. Point being, awe is fine, as long as there's a part of your mind questioning, "Wait--should I be in awe at all? Or am I overreacting?"
Lol. Silva just said "African savanna" and "tiger" in the same sentence. I mean, that's his problem. All he does is quote and stand on the shoulders of geniuses, without bothering to question what comes out of his mouth.
+electricious80 but we already have pessimism in abundance...we fail to realize his mission in his videos. he's not pragmatic. He's not a skeptic...and that's OK...being a skeptic is someone else's job...we don't need Jason Silva to be a skeptic or a cynic...the responsibility is on us to achieve a balanced viewpoint...its not on him to deliver a balanced viewpoint.
+collins mugodo +collins mugodo perhaps my english is failing me (not my 1st language), but I'm confused by your comment. I thought the 'mission' was just to promote open mindedness and inspire people to think differently, providing them with philosophical stepping stones. What we do with that information and/or inspiration then becomes our mission, no?
This guy is a walking book of knowledge. Fucking brilliant.
Ryan Syn Illuminating perceptions, all over the internet is a continual pursuit on your behalf I see.... xD
Dean K Oh man, haven't seen you in a while haha and of course, it's what I do x'D OH and btw been meaning to ask you. Do you game at all?
Ryan Syn Absolutely I do! Although, as of late... I've mainly stuck with my consoles (Xbox 360 / PS4), but I've been known to play blizzard and steam games as well.
It all depends really. If you're down to mention a few games that you're fond of I wouldn't mind checking them out to see if I own them; hell, I might buy a few if you assure me of their worth.
Dean K Same here, I've been gaming on my 360(GTA V, Advanced Warfare, Mass Effect), but mainly been into MOBAS like League of Legends, Hero's of the storm, Strife. and a couple of games you should absolutely try out is the Mass Effect trilogy. They are absolutely amazing, and Dragon Age series as well. I have a feeling you'd be pretty good with Mobas.
Ryan Syn Yeah, I'm not bad with MOBA's. What's your tag on Battle.net? I'm fairly new with LoL- I enjoy the depth of the strategy though.
Ahh yeah, Mass Effect has a wonderful storyline. Admittedly, I have yet to finish the other two; I've been meaning to pick them up and continue the story and see what it's all about :D
I play those on 360 as well, but I haven't turned it on in a while... My gamertag is: Kolepto, I believe. I may purchase some time and get on eventually :o
When ever I watch a video like this, it gives me a sense of duty. I feel like I owe my all to the progress of the human race. And I never find the time to do so just because it's used up doing mundane, everyday tasks, and that gets on my nerves because it's a lousy reason. Our schedules should be designed to maximize productivity, not hinder it.
I simply cannot get enough of this man's beautiful brilliance.
+Dee A LOVE & PEACE EVERYONE,SHOW IT..... BE IT...GOD BLESS YOU ALL....
*SMILES*
Thank you!
In my mind. Everything done with passion and with good in mind is amazing. Jason inspires and that can be life changing thing for any human in any situation or age. Like planting a seed of curiosity.
Even if he cites various people. The sequence and synthesis of those quotes is unique.
*LOVE* this guy. He's spittin' McKenna, Pinker, Kurzweil, etc. He knows wtf is going on :)
Not for nothing, but this was the most moving and inspiration video I have seen. It verbalizes so many thoughts I have been having about our future, society and technology.
yes I did experience the same as you with Jason Silva, I guess he is very good communicator using media to effectively spread practical philosophy.
Brent, what are your thoughts on TPV? The venus project.

Brent Csutoras System is the problem 🏡 Our Life should be around these Great Qualities.....
1, Show all living creatures; all the love and kindness as much as you can.
2, Only try to be honest with yourself. If you try to be honest with others, you will get into big trouble soon or later.
3, Aim only one target at a time; otherwise you are chasing two rabbits and you will miss both. So, the reason behind it. Have one powerful reason and never ever give up the one you want the most.
4, Don't try to be good person only but be the powerful person. We will grow to be the one or we will die. There is no other choice.
5, Always learn and look for to improve something your life.
6, You are not alone. Love and faith the high power reduces unnecessary stress in life. But never completely rely on it.
7, Success and happiness are the byproducts of our usefulness. So, always increase the possibility of success.
8, Life is not going to be easy. Because of our unnecessary things. Eliminate all the unnecessary things as much as you can by organising yourself well with the environments.
9, Never believe anything without the proper evidences.
10, Always try to give more than you take.
Because it is dignity/ character of the divinity within you.
🌎 As long as people continue to see themselves as separate from everything else, they lend themselves to being completely enslaved. Success depends on how well we relate to everything around us. Joy comes from that bliss of connectedness. I believe that unarmed truth and love will have the final word in reality. To love; you should have good heart. I am a good person until I see a person better than my standard of goodness. Being good is the progress towards a worthy cause. Love is God. Whoever lives in love, lives forever. How selfish it is to try to keep something forever? Love is all about nourishing, nurturing, sharing and expanding the love within you for all. The principle to which we adhere to is that we have kindness of love at heart for the whole of mankind. As long as there is the unnecessary differences within us; we can not live peacefully so we have to eliminate all the unnecessary differences among us so we can love all. People abilities may vary but not there true love. If we love a person/ God for a reason then we love the reason but not the person. No reason is the reason to love the person because true love never fails. So do not compare or measure the true love as first or the last but love all truly. If you love people truly then you can understand people. If you don't love then you don't understand people at all.
People are controlled by system why?
The Cyclical Consumption is the current economy all over the World. It is making the scarcity problems of the earth finite resources to deteriorate day by day. Current Monetary System is legalised theft. Real money is Gold and Silver. Scarcity gives the money more value. Real money won't lose it's value. When Governments stay away from Gold & Silver then very easy to transfer the wealth / resources to upper class the Rich (Corporatocracy) Elite. When the Governments are printing out more new fiat currency with reserve banks, our old currency is losing its purchasing power everyday. They are printing millions of currency everyday. All governments and laws are existing right now to transfer wealth to upper class the rich elite. The USA Government & other Governments are in many countries, bailed the investment banks & financial institutions in 2008 against the majority of the people. There is no democracy in any countries. Because of the Money System based on profits motive only above all else even humans lives and well-being. So, we do not have freedom to protect our values with the money so on. The violence, bankruptcy & all the negativities are build into the Monetary System of our society. All are owned (including ourselves) by Reserve Bank. Which is private cartel the corporation. So, in legal system, we are legally considered as chattel the properties. They make money in the capital markets with our birth certificates. They do not consider us as Humans. That's the truth. We are at the invisible war with the Elites (Corporatocracies). We have to fight for our Freedom. Resource Based Economy is the Solution. We have to declare the earth resources as the heritage of all the people of this world. So everyone has access to it. Please have your research about zeitgeist movement then you know the truth more.
Truth About Health/Drugs Industry Because Of It Your Life At High Risk The drug industry is a 1/2 trillion dollars a year worldwide conglomerate. Almost 300 billions dollars just in North America. That is really big business. What would happen if everyone were well? There is no money in health. You see, good health makes a lot of sense but it doesn't make a lot of dollars. Because everything they do is toxic. Every drug they use, prescription drugs, all drugs are liver toxic, bar none. If you've had amalgam fillings put in your mouth by dentists. It is highly toxic. There's cancer because most of the chemos are themselves carcinogens. To view the tumor as the cancer and we know the tumor is not the cancer. The cancer industry is 200 billions dollars a year. The more work they get, the more profit there is. You have to dismantle; If the truth ever came out about what we would need to do. 30% of people of females in America are at risk of getting, will get cancer of the breast. The ones that are already dead have been grossly mistreated by the medical profession and by the government that supposedly is supposed to encourage free research and development of all possibilities. Why would medical doctors who studied medicine and practice medicine and are heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies why would they go and look into vitamins? That they never had the answer orthomolecular. And as more and more of our population start taking their health into their own hands, there's going to be even more and more of changes. It can't go on the way it is. The system is failing apart. We must make nutrition the primary prevention strategy for the population. You are what you eat. You are everything that you have ever done to yourself. The choices you make directly affect the outcome of your life. - (Food Matters Documentary in Netflix)
😊 Well, I truly love God. I am not religious but very spiritual person. So, I believe 1) Religion is the beliefs in someone experiences But spirituality is having my own experiences. The mainstream religions people promote religious ideology by giving guidelines and guide but In my spiritual life; I do not want anyone or anything between God and me to restrict my freedom to worship God. 2) We do not need any authorities to do good work. The god work is the good work always. In contrast; organised mainstream religions are claiming that they have the authorities to do God works as leaders so on. 3) God is not capable of doing wrong thing, change the past for us and create anything out of nothing for us. Nothing means not anything. So, even God is limited. The mainstream religious people believe that God is unlimited. 4) God wants us to take responsibilities for our righteousness life but not for all the consequences of our actions because they are continued to exist among us. So, How can god punish us for all our consequences? The mainstream religious people believe we are full of sins because of all our actions. 5) Freewill is an illusion. People always choose the perceived path of greatest pleasure. So, we do not have choices all the time. In contrast teachings of the mainstream religions are promoting people to do god's will always because we all have choices of freewill always. 6) We can not separate everything into groups. So, everything for good and evil and there's no success and failure for everything. If everything is real then real things can not be threatened. Once you come to understand that God/The Holy Spirit is in each of us, You will no longer need a Book to tell you how to live. Then why we need religious scriptures? The Virtue is the expression of the basic goodness in our actions. The Basic goodness is the fundamental worthiness of every individuals. We are worthy to God always in everything. 7) Beliefs in a cruel God makes a cruel man. No matter what; every living creatures has the right to live and What makes their life cheap? Everything depends on everything. Nothing too big or too small in value. We can not love and hate at the same time; Being a vegetarian means love without cruelty happily. The mainstream religious people are killing people and sacrificing animals in the name of God. They promote God's cruel punishments. The Punishment is endless for Sinners/Devil according to religious scriptures. But God is love always. Overcome hate with love. If all religions for peace, unity? No way. Because they are not for peace. 8) Well, The God gave us everything to go from moment to moment in our lives as we do our part and pray only to thank god then the Love is in progress. The Love is always for everyone. We are always worthy of the God's love. Our greatest fear is; not to be loved by anyone but we are all loved by someone. When we eliminate all our unnecessary differences among us then true peaceful life is possible with the true love. If we can't find the peace within ourselves then we will never find it anywhere else. 9) This is the Fight for independence and freedom of humanity to worship God freely without religious guide and guidelines to restrict us. Unnecessarily, We do not want third party controls over us in anything ; especially in spirituality. 10) Revive Survive Thrive. Sincerely, The Real Peacemaker against religious oppression.

When I was a little kid, in the age of 15, my comrades didn't believe me when I said, "One day, we won't have to work, we won't have to walk or speak, we won't even have to PAY for our food. Someone else will make this possible." They asked me "And who would that be?" I answered "Our creation!". They laughed at me, I then told them "Do not laugh at something you don't understand, it only makes you look despicable" they then said "Alright smartypants, what would our creation be then?" I said "Isn't it obvious? I'll let you think about it, and when you figure it out, think again, but this time, think further". No one still believes me today... except You who has the knowledge to understand that the impossible IS possible, you who can imagine, that can predict it, that believe in it... even know it.
Doesn't matter, we can be new born, we can be near to our death, we still live free, but one day, humans will get tired of living free so that they will start a massacre of killing our creation: AI. What I'm referring is that there will be another apartheid in our civilization, Not humanly but a robotic. Humans will realize they got to lazy, humans are created to operate and robots will feel utilized. (Just a theory ofc) If you understand my point, otherwise I can get to details.
Hope it never happens. If you have readen Nietzche you'll partially get why I think that.

Comrades ? Oh ………
@@AdamMarriyatiyour comment aged well
Had goosebumps from the beginning till the end!
Let’s do it! I am starting by reading works of Ernest Becker.
We are manipulators of matter and mind. We create things. That to me is just unbelievable. All that rising above and created from and by simple inorganic compounds.The whole world is just psychedelic!
I am in.
we all here , beacuse we feel we are diferent , you looking for people similar to you , we want more and more and more , and i dont talk about money i talk about knowledgs , because we can see what others cant ......
+rine303 count me in!
yes we are rine... but i hope the number of people who are like us are increasing, because if we still keep as a small number, the world will continue on destructing itself by the hands of humans! we need to spread awareness of this, to change the universe... "we're cosmic revolutionaries" ♥
I love Jason and his big words so much! One of the few men that keeps my mental attention 😍
I'm awestruck. This is incredible and awakens the mind to the greatness of existence and hope of the future.
That is a great one!
Wonderful. Very nice speech.
This video just blew my nervous system into another dimension.
I am shaking from my feet up and out through the top of my head, electrifying - chilling and FANTASTIC, though haunting at the same time.
In my attempt to define… It is the awakening to what I know, all I know I must face and release to NOW COMMIT TO PURSUE, the transformation of past deep regrets I can no longer carry
At this moment I’ve given myself a mission, full permission and a ticket to rewrite those moments as silver linings.
28:44 “We should draw the maps of all the ways in which the present can reinvent itself.”
When Jason said that…. HOLY ****. That was a moment for me, now THE MOMENT.
About 2 years ago before falling asleep or waking up, a vision came to me. It was a real time mapping system only occurring in the present, which contained the past and future, you were able to rewrite the past and future now, you just had to plug all the conditions in (A LOT). There was dots, lines, and boxes with a stroke, when the boxes would disappear and pop up again there was a slight charge fading in and out. So much was happening in it, the moment of the vision It was all clear the meanings of the whole system. I thought it was genius and was thrilled to pursue it and explore deeper. Then I said OOOOO I am going to white board this out tonight, I’ll remember, yay!
IT NEVER HAPPENED.
And by the time of the attempt my mind blocked from madness by my choice to “do it later”
In order to pursue it now and understand it, I now face and rewire this illusion:
I've literally never read through a whole book in my life from start to finish. (in school I skimmed for tests and made up assignments and had honors and high gpas) Why did I keep myself from reading? I wanted to understand and document the mechanics of my mind, patterns leading to events and outcomes and tracing to the origin, thoughts to tangible reality. I kept myself from reading, and I made up the belief that I needed to understand full and first my mind, the raw unfolding which was cultivated from just my thought and way of being. But now that’s an excuse now - lingering. I’ve just not given the grace, energy and space for Tasha time. Gifting it everywhere but…
The shaking of my what seemed unshakable, this divine experience, now to continue to fully feel into... The pure passion and excitement of the resurrection of the vision, the possibility, this rebirth, the reconnecting with my vision of mapping… i now transform all the held guilt and regret for not going directly to that white board. THIS IS HUGE.
AND NOW THE GIFT…… All of that guilt and shame around never reading a book from start to finish is gone, rewritten.
Now full Permission to read my first book from start to finish with AWE (hopefully or a will bulldozing force to repeat)
Steven Johnson’s Where Good Ideas Come From - A Natural History of Innovation
The School of Silva… is now in session…
What next!
"shots of philosophical espresso", "from the nano to the galactic", "mindgasms", "perceive patterns", "expander of human consciousness", "constantly probe the adjacent possible"...beautiful stuff!!!
What a remarkable talent. I'm thrilled with discovering Jason. Such skill at riffing on art, creation & optimism, producing both bite-size morsels and a larger tapestry. Hope he has a fan club!
I found Jason Silva today and i have to say, hes the most inspiring person I've ever seen!
Good shit Jason... Thank you for finding a way to communicate that kind of information with the world. You made me FEEL something that is really mind blowing and very few people in the world have done that. Which led me to look inside and see how UNAWARE I have been. I have a lot of work to do.... We will meet one day.
I've felt this way about mankind, at least potentially, for many years
now... Just like all of our created gods, man is capable of unimaginable
accomplishments, as well as horrific injustices across the board. "Life
is what we make it". Stoking the higher-self embers within us all...
You've been Blowing my Mind ever since i subscribed a couple months ago. Even when i watch the same videos again, i get lost in hours of thought. Thanks for provoking such deep thoughts.
wow! thank you for being so talented in raising people's spirits. we need more videos and speeches like these to remind us that we are not just animals.
I just have a moment of awe when I red most of these comments. I see your points, but I don't think you see his point. All he's trying to say was that if you stop have a sense of awe you're equal to death, feeling nothing. I love his passion and his appreciation for life, since and sense of wonder. Beautiful being in this earth! much respect Jason
Jason Silva's every video makes me believe that future is beautiful and gives me an impetus to keep going!..... Beautiful 👍
This is a brilliant perception of the reality as it is unfolding. For those of you who worry about Big Information; I can only say this, You have to take the good with the bad...because they are both part of the whole. How we decide to use that knowledge will decide what is to preside over the future. For it is not our knowledge that fails us, but the will to use it...
Good thing that there are subtitles. Every speech on youtube should have them, even if it's already spoken in english.
i wish teachers were like u, so that sciences class wont boring like hell and more students will love to learn more
Love his enthusiasm. There is one thing I have to subject though. At the moment, it seems, we are not even able to stop climate change. We have the potential to, sure, we totally could do it, and much more, but it gets prevented by ourselves on so many levels... seeing this and then hearing about terraforming the universe? Whoa.
I cannot wait for the singularity to arrive. I want to explore space, and live out this powerful life he entails. The future is exciting!
"See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces[a] of this world rather than on Christ." Colossians 2:8
Very fortunate to be living in these times; the future of mankind is bright and promising
That's extremely interesting! Love, Love, Love Jason Silva ! I just recently listened to him on The Art of Charm podcast.
Man this guy's video's need more views.......this is my fav channel on here..... needs to be shared!
OMG, the closing line... Nothing short of Amazing.
"Self destruction is the power without knowing what the function is" - Immortal Technique. We have the power, some among us can see the function, but if we can't get the right people to see it we will be doomed long before we reach our true potential.
anyone who quotes Immortal Technique is good in my book. Respect.
+Slater Green LOVE & PEACE EVERYONE,SHOW IT..... BE IT...GOD BLESS YOU ALL....
I love that u reference ray and ive watched his sessions and his mind is amazing but what makes you the you is the elegant way you deliver passionate opinions. Pieces of mind and thought joust with philosophical thought while tango-ing and salsa stepping so fluidly with intricate concepts and vibrational delivery and intriguing passionate discussion. Its a poetic method not quite but in my sense like Alan watts so musical that captures attentions. 🦊❤️
Jason always has the coolest T-shirts :)
I hope to meet you in person someday, Mr. Silva. I think we would have an exciting conversation on the awareness of our Godly nature.
He's excited. He's passionate about what he feels. I would argue he's quite more free than some other people who obsess over what's bad instead of what's beautiful.
Amazing dude, this Jason Silva.
No me sorprendo, sino me lleno de alegrìa de escuchar como se manifiesta la voz de la consciencia, con esa sabiduria que parece innata porque es natural...
Gracias Jason, por recordarnos de este modo tan accesible, la verdadera esencia de la raza humana.
EVERYONE needs to watch this!! It does expands your mind.... Jason deberías expandirte al español, latinoamérica necesita despertar la conciencia, especialmente los Venezolanos
@JasonSilva during this whole video, I was completely able to follow you, (which I know that you are seeking for the people that are beginning to wake up and start down the 'Prophetic pathway of the Enlightened mind"). However during this interview, I was enlightened onto the idea of using your message to call those who are awake, together. To heard the ones that are akin to us. So as to Shepard those not as deep into the field of consciousness, toward these mind patterns. For as children, we wished to free this world of the vortex of mental pains and sufferings. And to instead, shead the light of compassion and collectiveness.
You, I and others of like mindsets, I believe can benefit gratefully to interact with 1 another in a closed environment. However.. I found it very difficult to accomplish such a venture. I was a very unintelligent child, but grew into the lust for knowledge in my early 20s. I wish a system could be created from a symbol much as yourself, that helps suck minds into your content that are seeking the deeper keys to reality. From this, mental understandings I believe would bounce off one another in mental meetings, which all members enter into the awe state, which I firmly believe, is most easily reachable during the 'Shamanic State; The Ritualistic, Trance State, that Brings the Beings of Dance, into the Harmonizing-Frequency' of the 'State of Awe' or the 'Enlighted Mind'.
he quotes so many people. it's like these thoughts, have them yourself, or is everything you know built by and on other people's brilliance? or, perhaps your letting everyone know about your amazing memory. recalling so freely everything anyone that your interested said. congrats. your book smart.
To live in a time where immortality is within our grasp.I think we are truly lucky.
Do you still believe these words?
2 Corinthians 4: 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen, for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. Case closed. Oh, we will be praying for you! God bless
This is really good, just hearing this guy makes me want to watch more.
Jason, you're an inspiration. I create because your ideas have touched my life. Our ideas have melded together to create new and exciting possibilities. Plus Joe Rogan LUL
Wow ! Thank you .... Loved it ! Peace
I am in awe of his mental processes --- he is what man can be (and unfortunately is not) - he uses 99.9 percent of his brain in a constructive way
The reason why he quotes so many people is because he is trying to connect the dots from one brilliant mind to the next. He's trying to push the conversation forward when everyone else is stuck in the past.
What he is doing is great actually because he can inspire and spread knowledge to people that would not get this kind of information normally.
anyone else want to see him do a vid with vsauce?
OH YES!
fuck yeah
+Anthony Martin - YES YES YES, I'd sell my kidney for a collab! That's how much i love them!
Mentioning this on a Vsauce video may be a good place to start to make this happen.
wtf is vsauce
hey Jason .. I've been watching you since 1st episode of brain games & i love it & i love you .. i mean its amazing what you do...
& your views on topics like mortality & all ...are just fascinating .. & yes i do feel the same .. we are the gods now & for us mortality is no longer acceptable ..!
& when i was kid . i always wondered about things like mortality & time flow & space & all ... & when i found out that we live & then eventually we just die .. & i was like what ? .that's it ? we just die .. i mean after all we do.. for living .. somehow we just die .. that's not fair. .! & then i saw a tv show Curiosity- we can live forever on Discovery channel. .! & it was amazing .. & i think it will be awesome if we could live forever ..
just awesome ..
& i do believe. that we will ...!!
If these vids had the 10m views they deserve i might have hope for humanity
I am from Saudi Arabia and I am really amazed about your videos. keep up !!
Very nice Jason wonderful.. really awe stuck.. I came to know about you fron Tom Belieu.. interview..
I would pay good money to see Louis Giglio and this guy have a calm civilized discussion that compares the ideas of Biblical Christianity and indwelling divinity. They both are amazing communicators.
You know what's weird Jason? I just bought the soundtrack to The Fountain a few days ago. Weird, and awesome.
Gotta love & admire this guy & his positive high-spirited hopeful energy!
Looks like a young Alan Alda. But I was turned-off when--on other youtubes, I heard him speaking as an apologist and defender of NSA's Un-Constitutional policy of mass-invasion of privacy.
Human is a bridge, but technology is an end so why we need to pursue what is the ending. terminator were made by us and it is us who made it to an end and it makes human godly infinite which is definitely finite at all. It contradicts every word were spoke of until all the words will be collapse to the end and that became mono. Even the reality of its own dictates from every words coming out. Many things in life we cannot skip until we learn its purpose.
This is giving me a bonier, the fact that everything is in our hands is just wow.
How do we know that we are the only species who are aware of mortality?
+Saju Hari because we are the only ones who have consciousness?
+Srikanth Gurumurthy We are the only once with consciousness?!!! How do you work that out?
+Saju Hari Every living thing is conscious in some aspect, but we are the most conscious beings on this planet.
+Saju Hari I know. Look at the fear in an antelope's eyes as he's about to be eaten by a lion and tell me he's not aware of his own mortality.
+Saju Hari My dog at the end of her days was immobilized in her bed, but 3 hours before dying she was able to reach out a den in my back yard and there we decide to spend her last breaths. I am 100% sure she knew she was going to die and above all, when.
a-mazing! LOL You just made my day!! Awe and a tear in that last video! Great head he has on his shoulders!!
great video!!!! best from Spain
He is not talking about taking away from your spirituality. He is not saying we are god like. He is bringing together Ideas and information that to people just 10 or 20 years ago, what we can do now would be perceived as god like. But I am wasting my breath on anyone that will not hear. There is no one so blind as he who will not see. The mind is like a parachute, they both, only work when they are open.
Awesome talk, Jason.
We have advanced more in the past hundred years than we have in the last thousand years, and what some people fail to realize is that we're still advancing at an even faster rate than you can imagine. They say that processing power doubles every 12-18 months; soon we'll be able to cut that learning curve in half and then some with molecular computers and later on with quantum computers. All it is, is a matter of time, it is inevitable.
I respect your perception. I still stand that he is doing nothing more than putting on a show. No one leaves something like this with a new idea, something palatable to work with. It's not connecting ideas. It's putting them all in a garbage disposal and flipping the switch. It looks all pretty because he paints all the ideas with pretty colors. So really...everyone in love with this crap love beautiful, artsy...garbage.
Totally agree that there are complimentary paths including consciousness of what we eat btw. The question is if you have problems you can solve and you either pretend they aren't problems or don't try and solve them, you are stagnant. If you grow and try and solve problems, yes you create new problems but If you are thinking about the future being different from the present and the past you know there's no better way than forward for technology.
Fantastic. Thank you.
I look forward to more of your work.
I watched thi while I was drawing. I drew my best work today
There is so much truth in your words!
I enjoyed ur posting. Very knowledgeable & luv theoretical stuff.
It doesn't surprise me to hear that there are many people who would prefer NOT to believe in an afterlife. For many, the prospect of what they may face after death can be quite horrifying.
"When you're dead, you're dead" is a way of looking at life, grounded totally in the physical world and its body; but, for many, this concept of life offers great comfort. Why? Because believing this way allows the individual to do whatever he or she wishes Immoral or Maleficent without having to worry about "paying the price" at some later time, in some other realm of life.
But, alas, this profoundly sad way of looking at life is not based on fact, and eventually, the reality of life after death stands before us all, face-to-face. Truth has only one certain test and that is Time.
Thumbs down.
what if each atom in your body had a soul? and the atom that controls your body is just the lucky one! and when you die you free all the other atoms souls?
Why would an atom control(?) my body? and why is it lucky(?)
Selcouth it isn't your body in the laws of the universe. you ever wonder how all your brain cells billions of them can create a single consciousness. how does that work?
blakespower And how did all that brain cell and all of the magnificent things in your body work together at the first place? By chance? :)
Epic, epic dude....congrats mate keep it up :)
I agree....my artistry comes via IT Consulting, for which is a stepping stone to a more relevant continuum for my way of thinking. IMHO
I'm speechless Jason.. 🤍
The part about what we have now compared to what was available in regards to computing power made me more aware of how advanced things are for I guess the NSA and other government organisations etc compared to the average Joe especially when you consider the expential advancements that have and are being made. I guess Im just eager to see more awe in the world and wish for open mindedness as Jason mentions so we can all benefit from the huge unrealised human potential.
The title "We Are The Gods Now" is from a viral clip with Guy Pierce on youtube from the movie Prometheus, you should check it out, he's talking about what Prometheus stood for and basically the singularity of technology, which is fire, when I first heard of Jason Silva I automatically thought of that movie
joseph campbell talks about the importance of taking people out of the mundane per ~8:45...he also talks about our moral obligation and responsibility to hold ourselves, each other, Ourself together by continually updating our myths to serve our time and generation as we evolve, faster and faster... Let's do this. #ComeTogetherToOvercome.
It will be interesting to see how energetic & or energized by the age 60 lol. great vid.
i could throw all that back at you the same way. what your afraid to acknowledge is that your afraid of things you dont understand so you and others like you have created a omnipresent being who controls everything. im neither atheist nor religious. i believe in myself and with that i can do anything i put my mind too.
It is awesome, I must say you have an amazing voice.
He does not summarise. He makes simple things complex. He is a young guy that thinks he has discovered something but infact he is the new fish in the tank saying " MY GOD I HAVE FOUND A ROCK!"
Yeah kid, it was there before you got here. You too will not have awe once you have stared at it for long enough.
Thats because awe is an emotion and it is impossible for it to last forever.
Interesting how the very "science and technology", exalted by Jason, that have measured and warn us of the deleterious environmental impacts of our activities, on our species survival.. are discounted by the explanation of our "overactive amygdalas".
Jason's inspiration rhetoric, is at best, hopeful.
Technology may be the skin/extension of ourselves, but without the survival of our core organics selves, we simply leave another (more fancy!) pelt in a museum of species that have lived on this planet.
But credit to Jason's thoughts, maybe there is inspiration within us to change the who we are.
My contribution to the conversation is that technology is not the answer, its is a tool. Ideas and technology won't save us, these already exist. It is our will and the courage to change a system we have so heavily invested in, that might. Do not arrogantly discount our "amygdalas", its analogous existence in vertebrates points to it evolutionary success in species propagation.
Civilisations have not disappeared because of their application of technology. Fundamentally, instability, inequity, overspecialisation, lack of food and water, have. A smartphone isn't much use if you don't have a home, are hungry and thirsty.
Inspirational and awesome!
I bet this is the same thought process Lucifer had right before he got the boot.
Yes. I'm pretty happy. If you can't have peace because you think life is too easy, then the real problem lies within you.
omg, jason silva, with those few moments, fills me with so much wonder, passion, & ideas that literally blow my consciousness ♥
even though he's very optimistic about human technology & our ability to change the universe (& i truly believe that if our present socio-political-cultural conditions were different, with continuously increasing free knowledge & tech advancement, yes, we could engineer the whole process of cosmic evolution!!!), but sadly, what misses in his contemplations, is the view of a person who comes from a third world, under-developed spacetime, filled with chaos & violence...
most of the money now, which is dug from the blood of millions of humans, animals, & plants - the death & destruction of others, so some could increase their $$$, is being spent on military advancement, not on telescopes & space science, nor even for the saving of the majority of the disadvantaged "beings" on earth... our whole system of glocal governance is based on severe injustice, inequality, apathy, etc.... that we have reached now a point to either choose to continue on like this, & fall into self-annihilation, or to radically change our system in order to truly realize this vision of beauty, of becoming gods, like jason says... not only for the few white wealthy men in the west... but for all of the earth's community ♥
Everyone quotes what they read all the time. It's how we learn about the world around us. By quoting the people that he gets his information from, he is making a citation and giving credit to the people who normally don't get it.
This guy sums up a lot of really great books and men.
This gets me really pumped for my technology classes I'll be taking next year. Fuck, this gets me pumped for life.
if I didn't have adult ADD I would think his ideas are fascinating. Bring on the robot revolution!
I wish I had Silva's idealistic attitude towards the future of mankind. You don't even have to watch media to see how chaotic the world has become. Just drive down the street today ... or go into a store to see how people have become so angry.
Maybe I need to smoke whatever he smokes.. lol
+Matthew075 Or live in a very rich neighborhood and not leave it. 80% of my friends have been hospitalized with mental illness or another chance condition from overwork, and loneliness in this new fancy tech economy. What he says could happen, but only if we make it so, and just assuming it will turn out ok will ensure it will not.
*****
Sorry to hear about your friends, though it's honestly not surprising - mental health issues are on the rise.
I see Technology evolving and constantly growing.. but I don't see humans evolving or growing. It's 2016 and we still have the same hates and impulses we have had for hundreds of years. People are still starving, the powerful are still taking advantage of the weak.
Technology, if anything has made things worse for humans. Humans are social beings, we need interaction, and now most interaction is done via social media, where people pretend to be someone else and give a false impression of who they are... which causes even more loneliness. People wake up every day to see if someone ' liked' the thing they shared....
Yeah, I don't see what Silva sees at all... though I wish I did.
Humanity is evolving not so long ago we had slaves not so long ago we were in 2 world wars and so on. If you dont think we're evolving then I dont think natural selection will choose you when you die to be a part of evolution
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_organizations_that_combat_human_trafficking
Elevated We get better at hiding things. Human trafficking is growing... if you have not seen whats been going on in the middle east and abroad with wars... you literally have to be high or living in an alternate reality to think things are getting better.
Technology is going fast, human connection and feelings are going slow.
The speed of universal thought is infinitely faster than light.
Now u have 100k Subs
Very interesting indeed ☺️✨💛
She said in the intro she couldnt classify Silva but I can. This man is for TRANSHUMANISM .
Oh I love him. Absolutely.
Notice Jason Silva is an artist at heart. It was Einstein who said true genius lies in the imagination & Mozart who said love is what composes genius.
Keep an eye on this fella, I predict the evolution of his ideals & philosophy will mature quite interestingly, or he ends up overly esoteric like many others :p
