With amazing visual aids to support his thoughts and tons of energy Jason Silva examines the human ability of being awestruck, being able to be pleased and amazed by what we discover and what we visually encounter. This happens to the best of us everyday, we discover something online or on our walk to work and we take it in, think about what that means to us and possibly tell someone about it if it’s just that special. Our desire to understand brings exquisite pleasure … and feeds our exploratory voyage, our scientific inquiry, our technological development, and even our poetic self-regard.

Jason this is awesome, when thought about, I believe it to be true from my own experiences – some of which were so shattering I may not want to experience them again, however once done, done for all times !!!!
