Jason Silva Discusses Techno Optimism

Jason Silva is a host and producer at Current TV, and a Fellow at the Hybrid Reality Institute, a research and advisory think tank focused on the intersection of technology trends and geopolitics. His current project is the documentary Turning Into Gods, which in Silva’s words, is about “exploring mankind’s journey to ‘play jazz with the universe’… it is a story of our ultimate potential, the reach of our intelligence, the scope of our scientific and engineering abilities and the transcendent quality of our heroic and noble calling.”

In the video below, Patricia Albere and  Silva, take part in an exciting exploration of a wildly optimistic future for us all. 

Techno-optimism is a belief in the power of technology to extend our sphere of possibilities, and will ultimately help us solve and transcend problems, limitations and obstacles.
