“Technology is advancing exponentially – that is the reason why the smartphone in your pocket today is a million times cheaper, smaller, and a thousand times more powerful than what used to be a 60 million dollar supercomputer 40 years ago.”

 

World-renowned filmmaker and futurist, Jason Silva, joins us to discuss why human beings should unlearn linear thinking and relearn exponential thinking in the digital age.

 

Jason is known for hosting the National Geographic Emmy-Nominated reality series, Brian Games, and for his insightful YouTube series, “Shots of Awe,” in which he explores various aspects of the human condition through philosophical micro-documentaries.
