Jason Silva Quotes

Post-Scarcity Age, you don’t pay for things. Abundance Picture Quote #1

We have all kinds of limitations as human beings. I mean we can’t see the whole electromagnetic spectrum; we can’t see the very small; we can’t see the very far. So we compensate for these short comings with technological scaffoldings. The microscope allows us to extend our vision into the micro-sphere Picture Quote #1

By cultivating rich social networks, by cultivating weak ties, not just close ties but the weak ties, by becoming connectors and by connecting others so that they connect us, we create a world in which these self-amplifying feedback loops feed on top of each other Picture Quote #1

I always tell people that revelling in big ideas for me is kind of like an antidote to existential angst Picture Quote #1

I want big ideas to have aesthetic relevance. I want to tickle people’s intellectual sensibilities and instill a sense of wonder Picture Quote #1

The scientist and engineers who are building the future need the poets to make sense of it Picture Quote #1

You can’t win the hearts and minds of the masses unless you inspire them - you must lift their spirits and enliven their hearts Picture Quote #1

We’re the only species that can look into the future and know that we’re going to die one day, and it causes all sorts of cognitive stress on your system Picture Quote #1

I basically look at how exponential emerging technological changes runs counter-intuitive to the way our linear brains make projections about change, and so we don’t realize how fast the future is coming Picture Quote #1

Technology sometimes gets a bad rap because of certain consequences that it’s had on the environment and unforeseen problems, but we shouldn’t use it as an excuse to reject our tools; rather, we should decide that we need to make better tools to solve the problems caused by the initial tools in a progressive wave of innovation Picture Quote #1

My approach to creating content is focused on pulling people out of their intellectual comfort zones. I’m interested in presenting ideas in unique ways that challenge people to question their assumptions Picture Quote #1

As long as you’re not hurting anybody else, as long as you’re being kind to people and you’re doing what you love, only good things can come of it Picture Quote #1

Technology is, of course, a double edged sword. Fire can cook our food but also burn us Picture Quote #1

I make short films, little documentaries, about the co-evolution of humans and technology Picture Quote #1

Technology is the means by which we have decommissioned natural selection and are seizing control. We are no longer to be victims of some blind evolutionary process where sentient beings are massacred by entropy Picture Quote #1

Movies have these transcendent moments where everything is just right, from the dialogue to the music to the lighting to the narrative context; everything is just perfect, and something magical happens - the film breaks through the screen and does something to you Picture Quote #1

There has always been this narrator in me - I loved ideas, and part of the great love affair I would have with ideas consisted of talking about them Picture Quote #1

I’m not a religious person. But, when I look at a beautiful cathedral, what brings awe, what induces awe is the idea that architecture, you know, a beautiful cathedral, a beautiful building Picture Quote #1

I’m happy to be content-maker as well as curator, so I’m happy to also be a presenter for amazing things Picture Quote #1

To be inspired is the ultimate antidote to existential despair Picture Quote #1

Everything that we design is designing us back Picture Quote #1

Awe is the best drug in the world Picture Quote #1

If you could download the entire universe in two minutes, would you? Picture Quote #1

Film is the only technology that allows us to share subjectivity with someone else Picture Quote #1

We fit the universe through our brains and it comes out in the form of nothing less than poetry. We have a responsibility to awe Picture Quote #1

For me, its always a failure of the imagination. I have that anxiety that time is passing, that everything is ultimately fleeting and impermanent. I better take advantage of every single moment Picture Quote #1

Creativity and insight almost always involve an experience of acute pattern recognition: the eureka moment in which we perceive the interconnection between disparate concepts or ideas to reveal something new Picture Quote #1

We are gods. Our tools make us gods. In symbiosis with our technology, our powers are expanding exponentially and so, too, our possibilities Picture Quote #1

As technology continues to increase our possibilities, what we’re seeing is a shrinking of the lag time between what we dream about and what we create Picture Quote #1

There’s always going to be the circumstances you can’t plan for. There’s always the unexpected relevance and the serendipity Picture Quote #1
