    Can anyone tell me what song is playing in the background?

  2. David Stack on July 9, 2022 at 12:47 am

    Sounds like "Falling Slowly" from the movie Once. Search youtube for "falling slowly piano"

    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.

    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.

    Those who value this video don’t value the hierarchical system of likes and dislikes to determine the worth of the information presented.

    Hmmm, He’s sort of like a hip, #EMO, Latin-Jewish version of #CarlSagan – sans the #zeitgeist moments, of course …

  9. Pajeet Cohen on July 9, 2022 at 12:56 am

    takeaway from this video: "ideas and technology are cool and good"

  10. Chowder Head on July 9, 2022 at 12:59 am

    No mention of the people enslaving minds and keeping millions in a state of suffering and billions in a state of servitude, but..pleasant

  28. paulhorn27 on July 9, 2022 at 1:18 am

  29. GreatMinds GreatQuotes on July 9, 2022 at 1:19 am

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

  30. hueseph on July 9, 2022 at 1:19 am

    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.

  31. Peter Jonee on July 9, 2022 at 1:22 am

    Awesome!

  32. CriMxDelAxCriM on July 9, 2022 at 1:23 am

  45. Hema Sinha on July 9, 2022 at 1:36 am

    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!!

  46. Moe Olmos on July 9, 2022 at 1:38 am

    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

  47. Danny Labonté on July 9, 2022 at 1:38 am

    Wow.

  48. Hypnagogia on July 9, 2022 at 1:39 am

    Excellent. Too bad your comment was overlooked by others, I agree with you.

  49. OpenSource Citizen on July 9, 2022 at 1:40 am
