Enough with the 2012 apocalyptic pessimism. After all, if the Mayans were so smart, there would still be Mayans, right?
Thankfully, video maker and self-described “philosophical performer” Jason Silva has a much more optimistic (and logically sound) mode of thinking about the future and all the technologically awesome possibilities it has to offer.
“From the moment we picked up a stick and used it to reach a fruit on a really high tree as early Homo sapiens, we’ve been using our tools to extend our boundaries of who and what we are,” Silva told Wired.com. “As technology has advanced, it acts as a buffer that shrinks the lag time between what we dream about and what we can create and substantiate in the world.”
Working with Marija Coneva from NotThisBody, Silva directs and produces independent videos that build on this positive theme (he likens them to “two-minute shots of philosophical espresso”). via Wired
