Jason Silva is a filmmaker and a futurist but it's very hard to reduce Jason into words really. I was lucky enough to have been invited to Harvest, a conference hold in Kaplankaya and this interviewed is a special one as it's co-host with Rose Clevery who is the host of the podcast named after the conference Harvest Series. In 6 years, it's a first for me and I like doing new things. I hope you will like the format with 2 co-host. Jason is an optimist when thinking about the challenges that we have ahead of us. Modern technologies both serve to benefit and disrupt humanity at once and with the rise of social media and AI the disruption level is at risk of increasing rapidly. But Jason Silva is ultimately an optimist when it comes to technology, as it showcases the full capacity and potential of the human brain and our creativity to awe and be awed. He believes that those who are able to create such 'magical' tools as also capable of "getting their act together if they need to and if they want to". Why is Jason Silva so optimistic about technology at a time when AI is causing a lot of social anxiety? He responds it's because he is neither a utopian nor a dystopian, but rather a protopian. We talk about creativity, technology, social media and trying to explore Jason universe and understand how he envisions life and the future. Is human a magician?
