We need to be Vision-eers to build the tools that will build us.
This incredible episode from epic futurist and visionary, Jason Silva, live from Mindvalley’s A-Fest stage will unleash the hidden potential of your mind and plant the seed for a future you never even dreamed was possible.
Jason explains transhumanism and how the exponential power of technology can give us access to create a previously unimaginable future. The rate of technological acceleration is becoming more and more integrated in how we live our lives, and it’s up to us to decide if we’re going to use that power to fuel our personal growth to be of benefit for humanity.
Technology is the literalization of the human imagination in the world.
