Video reblogged from Wacky Thoughts with 11 notes
This video will introduce you to Jason Silva, “the fast-talking, media-savvy “performance philosopher” who wants you to love the ecstatic future of your mind.” The Venezuela-born part-time filmmaker and TEDTalk speaker wants you to believe that “technology will soon bring about a greater-than-human intelligence.”
It’s an idea that Ray Kurzweil has worked hard to popularize in tech circles, but Silva wants to push it out into the mainstream, and he wants to do it with the slickest, most efficient idea vehicle of our time: the viral video. He has spent the last three years making (really) short films that play like movie trailers for ideas; he compares them to shots of “philosophical espresso.”
