And what it means for love, for purpose, for meaning itself.
because when the clock we've been always racing against just stopped ticking.
Welcome to the inaugural show of Tomorrow Today.
I'm super excited to have great guests, in fact.
The purpose of this show is to evaluate the technology that is already emergent amongst us.
And what does it mean to the society in general?
my amazing guest like i'd love for you guys to introduce yourself jason natalie and kevin in that order why don't you introduce yourself jason like you are a phenomenal prominent figure and a celebrity i'm so glad to have you but like i would love for my guests to hear in your own words like who you are yeah sure um well thank you thank you for having me hello everybody uh my name is jason silva and uh i'm a filmmaker
a digital creator, and very often a keynote speaker as well.
My background is mostly as a television presenter.
I would say that my most high profile program was Brain Games, which was a TV show I hosted for National Geographic Channel.
Did that for five seasons, and that looked at, it was like ABCs of neuroscience.
It was a show that kids and parents could watch together.
And then I also hosted another show called Origins, which was about transformative technologies that changed humanity.
I would describe myself definitely as a protopian or a techno-optimist, which means I like to dream about the ways that we can use our technologies to extend our capacities.
I'm passionate about human flourishing, which also includes mental health, and so I feel like Paleolithic brains, medieval laws, and godlike technologies is a bit of a problem, so I'm always thinking about ways in which we can sort of up-level technology
our psyches and souls and psychology so that we can better deploy these increasingly God-like tools.
But ultimately, I'm a dreamer and a romantic.
Fantastic.
Fantastic.
Natalie, you're the rising star in the world of AI and social psychology.
