1. great piece this. however, the host/interviewer's enthusiasm is distracting. too bad because even listening to it without watching the video i still hear his long winded interjections.
2. i wanna like sorta believe that jason is actively listening and feeding eriks words and information inward to the space where he holds all his fantasies and subjective ecstasies, where he then acutely absorbs or discards information depending on the appetite of his intellectual preference, so that the sum of information which underwent absorption could be uniquely felt and processed 'neuro-physically' by jason to charge or sustain his flow state which he tries to keep transcending... reason why because Jason admits that he could on some occasions can be thrown into a fit of catharsis when he hears beautiful music or the words that come out of the lips of others, when filled with such depth and vastness! when Jason is exposed to an atmosphere where its rich, and meaningful, and theres complexity and novelty and beauty, he'll be enveloped in awe.... and i wanna think that what he does is a natural ability that he decided he'd dive into and figure out and ultimately finesse. Jason can so very easily utilize the dopamine he creates off his engagement in vivid contemplation and deep conversation which for him is a kind of mental stimulation or intellectual masturbation to turn it into food "dopamine" to charge or sustain his flow state. so whilst conversing with an erik davis who has a sexy mind, Jason silva is hyper-coherent and at the same time internally flipping switches and levers to hack his experience and mentally make his own brain essentially have sex with its self which yields all the deep splendiferous emotions and awe and small pockets of catharsis i believe he just can't get enough of....finally i believe he may actively be trying to lengthen or strengthen the duration of time he spends in a flow state and what have you ....... now thats wild, but thats really is what i deadass think fam lol
3. LSD
4. This is Jason Silva's best video.
5. Wow!
6. its so much easier to understand Davis
7. Pure passion or microdose of hallucinogenic. These two are on opposite poles of personality.
8. the only reason I dont show my energy just like jason is that I'm a grown up!!
9. on my mom's account but still crazy over U
10. I'm N love with his passion n brain , smile, eyes , heart , compassion I think 😕
11. Easy to spot someone whos suicidal
12. Sorry, but this word "Technognosis" is a Greek invention. Both these separate Greek words are used in the same order and its meaning is not new - it goes back many millennia... Don't worry we will send you the bill.
13. i know where he is at
14. Looks like Jason has to pee real bad. Sort of uncomfortable to watch.
15. Right, so for those who are saying Silva is a stoner. Let me challenge you to talk and to learn with as much passion and flow as Silva. His facial expression, his extroverted methods are what he uses to send out his energy and get his feedback, but he is in such a flow state he doesn't every realise. ENERGY AND PASSION my friends, that's what WE lack.
16. label, labels and more labeled can we free our mind of labels. Each person experience is unique, one of kind can we start there, even ask the question to get the answer wanted is inspirational.  We are a experiment!  The human experiment  is becoming aware.  No wrong's or right's - yet emotions and experience you get to choose from, what happen next is not random, but becomes reality. So much to choose from.
17. #blissjunkie  doesn't sound like such a bad place to be...
18. If only I can encounter more people who are as enlightened as these two to connect with.
19. I´m in Perú, I feel so happy we are all getting together trough the same energy that take us to seek into our own self to evolve our consciousness and be happy all the time ")
20. Jason, you're operating at an extremely fast frequency my dude. Not sure how your guests even get a chance to talk hah. Only joking, keep spreading the knowledge on consciousness, technological theories and psychedelics! We thoroughly enjoy your talks and undoubtedly need more awake people to continue on this path.
