A comment on the conments: if you ask Jason to say or not say a word, you are asking him to change his perception; which is why you are here in the first place. See inside you why something bothers 'you' rather than to try and control him. He is bringing ineffable content to life! Try loving people unconditionally- your life would be SO much easier going. Appreciating Jason for who he is and getting me to think and consider other perceptions. I am in love with that whole process 💖
Asking anyone to employ a more or less diverse vocabulary isn't the same as altering that person's perception, I think you might mean they are asking him to change the way he expresses himself, not the way he perceives anything. Just a little constructive criticism. :)
A great video again! Thank you Jason Silva for your work! You are the Alan Watts of our time. Ideas can change the world because everything we have developed until today has once been nothing more than an idea. A thought that found its way into reality through the creative powers of a human being. This is where our potential lies, because we are literally able to think up our future. We only need to have the right thoughts. And that is what you are working on through this channel! I bet it is the birthplace of many great ideas, that might change the world of tomorrow. Thank you! :)
I've been writing a story recently and for this to show up at the exact same time feels almost like a good omen. I want to live in the universe I have created, and the more I write this story the more I not only progress in something but I also learn from my own characters. Thanks for posting this video, I think I'll get back to it now.
Hi there ! I think we should treat boredom with respect ! It-s just a sign that we are ready for the next step. The next information that is going to represent our personality. We are the sum of all the experiences we lived !
It has always amazed me, how much we invest in the fictional realm. It is because, I believe, we are dissatisfied with everyday life. Ingrained in our passion for storytelling is a need to resurrect the past, reconfigure the present, and create the future. Stories are our lives reimagined. And because reality is a subjective experience, they are as real as anything, and eventually, they become our lives. Another fantastic video, Jason!
Talk about getting you jazzed to keep #writing! Stories are more than just fiction, they include the narratives we call "science", "reality", and "news". It's all storytelling. thanks Jason!
Hey Jason, WoW! You're brilliant! The way you distill these ideas is like Mental Rocket fuel. It gets my mind racing. With this one I just want to be able to read everything. If I could download the entirety of the human story library into my head I would ecstatically do so and spend the rest of my life sharing it with everyone else. I just wish I read in more than English alone. Reading text in it's original language is like hearing a poet speak their own words, It enriches the experience. Thank you.
Another great video Jason. I would however like to see you filming in different locations for each video just for a bit of a variety. Also It sometimes bugs me that you overuse the words catharsis and transcend. Obviously they're very relevant terms to your subjects but I think to maintain this channel you need make sure they don't become repetitive or too similar to each other. Anyway, loved the vid as usual, keep them coming!
It's kind of silly that all the comments are about Jason's delivery and setting, not the component idea of the video. And what an idea! Personally, I find it fascinating that the constant stream of words that makes up my consciousness ("my narrative", in Mr. Silva's words), disapears when I become immersed in a great novel or film. It's wonderful to have that constant internal monologue muted once in a while, but it's truly beautiful to have it's place filled with words and images that nudge my imagination to spectacular visions of things I'll probably never see. Also neuroscience needs to hurry the fuck up and find answers to all these things. So rock on Jason you the shit bruh.
Thank You Jason and everyone else involved with this, story about stories being here. What is your personal story and who do you tell it to ... ? What is your story for the whole of Our world and Our shared Life ... and who do you tell it to ... ? It Matters, Everyone's story matters ... equally. Love & Peace to All
Can you talk about how powerful memory is? I mean. Memories could change the very foundation of the human mind. The ability to have good memories or bad memories could change how a human feels in an instant. And if you had the ability to control memories you could enslave the human race or make everyone think you were some sort of superhero. The human memory, if changed, could completely change the path of one and set them on another.
Jason, I love Shots of Awe, but I'm really frustrated by the extremely crummy Closed Captioning. I don't know who does it or if it's computer generated, but it sucks. I'd love it if someone would look into actually having the CC correctly written.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put a break in between the end of these and your self advertisement. Having a moment of reflection as the music nods off for a a few seconds is essential - Going straight from a heavy shot of awe to an abrasive "Hey guys, come check out my shit" doesn't flow right.
I've been wondering (and I concede that this idea could be hogwash) do stories have a fair potential to be harmful? I mean, as we study these fictional characters while being totally immersed in a story, is there a notable risk of us unconsciously accepting the characters' thoughts and behaviors as representative of actual human beings? It just seems as though we can make a habit of learning more about someone in a narrative than an individual separate from one. This, at least to me, seems particularly risky if the story you, an individual currently seeking love, are reading is a romantic one. Does this not risk putting false ideas into your head even if you make the conscious effort of separating narrative from, as we call it, reality? Just a thought that, again, could be nonsensical.

Master the art of story telling and you will be a star in your industry. I see it again and again.

sometimes I feel like this gets boring....but sometimes I go like ...fuck how can I not give this a like?
Yeah, I was kinda feeling the same thing, but this one just knocks it right out of the park! Gotta love topics about art and literature!
I didn't get bored on this one
Hi there ! I think we should treat boredom with respect ! It-s just a sign that we are ready for the next step. The next information that is going to represent our personality.
We are the sum of all the experiences we lived !
Whoever edits your videos does a fantastic job.
DId you see the recent vid about psychedelics? The editing on that one blew my mind! :O
That one was soo great! But they are all really high quality.

Another fantastic video, Jason!
Our existence in this story of Life in the universe is the ultimate mystery.
Talk about getting you jazzed to keep #writing!
Stories are more than just fiction, they include the narratives we call "science", "reality", and "news". It's all storytelling.
thanks Jason!
Thank you Jason your work has greatly changed my life for the better!!!

I agree, but I dont mind since they're words that I never use. Repetition is a good way for people like me to learn new words like that.
Dexter Britain's "Free Spirited" this is the beautiful music.
My goal is to live life to the fullest daily- documenting this journey with pictures and books thAt i have written- hoping to inspire others!

You're the king of immersion.
Always look forward another video because they are truly inspiring

Ty for the link.
I absolutely love your videos! As always, great work! 😂👌
if immersion is slipping into a manufactured reality, then we need to manufacture a reality for ourselves in which we are able to thrive
Thank u Jason another great video
Outstanding!
