Saw this video before, but man every time I watch this... freaking beautiful. Keep doing what you're doing!!

[MrBdegand]

This guy is so mind expanding! I love listening to him. Wish I had half the mental capacity he is working with.
Thank you and keep going!

Another great video Jason! Most of my childhood friends think that I am cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs since I started getting into transhumanism a few years ago but it's great to see videos like this that I can show them to help change them. Thanks for all your work!

[shapuzz]

These videos are always so lovely. Awe inspiring!

[PetitTabarnak]

Wow, what can I say. 6k views, man I'll talk of you to anybody I know. You deserve much more than that, this should have 300k views already. I'm going to watch more videos from you and I'm pretty sure that everything is godlike. Really great use of animations, everything is perfect seriously. Keep at it. I hope for humanity that you'll become much more popular. We're in need of people like you.

Checked out your stuff after checking out your interview on the Tim Ferris podcast. Great video. I'm not sure how your message attracted so many trolls.

[GreatMindsGreatquote]

So for me to quote him would be kind of tricky. :) Great inspirational video!

This guy is a highly evolved intellectual and very charismatic. He seems to quote Timothy Leary quite often whom once said he was carrying out the work of the late Aleister Crowley. I wounder if he to is an extension of his work. You know the philosophy of Elevating man to Godhood through his intellect and knowledge. The eating of the forbidden fruit and the rejecting of God. I think France Bacon spoke of it and called it the New Atlantis. I think I read this in a sci fi book for christian once

Hell yeah just had my shot of pillosophy, now time to go enjoy a session in a sensory deprivation tank and ponder.

[radicalfish]

hopefully we can use our open exchane of ideas to stop ourselves from wiping ourselves of this planet before it's too late.i guess i'm saying that our open exchane of ideas has caused many of us to de-evolve.

[thehemasinha]

Omg really!!!! Ideas are that much real!!!! I cannot believe it!!!! If it is why isn't there any structural existence of it or is it?? Pls answer Jason!!

Dependance on oil, is due to the non-open type system where free and clean energy was shutdown since it does not make money. Look at what happened with Tesla, he offered free energy and the other power companies would not have it! So yes, Openness is the solution, and yes, there will be a difficult adjustment period for some big business/governments.

jason silva is such an awesome person. i LOVE hearing this dude speak. he's like a highly caffeinated buddha. i always wanna high five the guy.

i think these videos would be so much better without the name dropping; it's the only thing that is off putting with this. stop telling me who said what, just share these things without the quotation marks and author's name after each sentence. we don't need the bibliography, we just want the conversation :)

thank you for sharing this, very cool.

[NietNiels]

Dont forget to breath ones in a while Jason

[misinglink]

Everytime I hear a jason silva video, I think...Duh...he's just "selling" the Idea of ideas but at least he's bringing it to people to think differently.

[rupeshtashildar]

i was just counting the number of words he said every second.
