Killin it
Walk into any Starbucks and this guy will be there.
Walk into every moms basement and you will be there.
A product of LSD> Essentially speaking the obvious in a grandiose way. These ideas aren’t new. Just rehashed. The problem with acid is that when you come down, finding the resolution is not so clear. And as you grow older, the ideal is not as solid as you once perceived. The presumption that we are any more intelligent than people in past history is a misnomer. What has changed is our library of information. If we suddenly lost that, people would appear to grow more "stupid" over time.
So for me to quote him would be kind of tricky. 🙂 Great inspirational video!
God Damn Jason!!! freaking mind blowing…
The way this man can excite you about the future is amazing. Bravo
ADD much ? lol
Can anyone tell me what song is playing in the background?
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!!
I love you!
so good
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
Awesome!
we’re fucked
I admire you Jason <3 Sending you lots of appreciation <3
I love you
i was just counting the number of words he said every second.
neechee? are you taking the piss?
Mindblowing..
That’s some energy you got there expressing yourself
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.
is this a joke? you’re the biggest pseudo-intellectual ever. "Neet-chee".
Sounds like "Falling Slowly" from the movie Once. Search youtube for "falling slowly piano"
Why don’t speak in spanish, really I wan’t understeand, but this not the same sense, PLEASE JASON READ THIS COMMENT !
this guy is way out there alsome,i wounder if hes got any more thoughts on the infamous complexities of the universe hes thought up. i mean dam this guy is fucking good! !!
Excellent. Too bad your comment was overlooked by others, I agree with you.
*love*
Name Dropper! haha jk
No mention of the people enslaving minds and keeping millions in a state of suffering and billions in a state of servitude, but..pleasant
this is why we need to FIERCLY oppose ACTA and the government trying to control the internet
33,815 veiws and only 819 likes wtf
….this will be the best 2mins of your day.
Aaaaaaaaaaaagggghhhhhh!!!!!! I JUST WANT TO SIT AND HAVE TEA, EAT MUSHROOMS AND HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOU!!!!
Great stuff!
Dude you sound manic. Take your meds.
Wow.
awesomely delivered!
So far out of the entire video…the only words that are truly Silva’s was the word…"Wow." Aside from that he’s a walking citation.
Jason needs a book club. or at least a list of must read books cause he reads some awesome shit!
lol that was fun.
Not sure how you attracted a bunch of assholes to comment on this.
I saw your interview with Lewis Howes. Loved it 🙂
Those who value this video don’t value the hierarchical system of likes and dislikes to determine the worth of the information presented.
"Imagination let’s us conceive the best future possibilities, pick the most amazing one and pull the future forward to meet it." That’s a WOW!!!!
what’s your job? and what studies did you go through? just wondering, i haven’t started my studies yet
This is VERY gay
takeaway from this video: "ideas and technology are cool and good"
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!!
Not one original idea. This was the most stupid video rant ever…
This is your brain on crack.
Hmmm, He’s sort of like a hip, #EMO, Latin-Jewish version of #CarlSagan – sans the #zeitgeist moments, of course …
