Existential Bummer "Man is literally split in two: he has an awareness of his own splendid uniqueness in that he sticks out of nature with a towering majesty, and yet he goes back into the ground a few feet in order blindly and dumbly to rot and disappear forever"
-Ernest Becker.

Join Jason Silva every week as he freestyles his way into the complex systems of society, technology and human existence and discusses the truth and beauty of science in a form of existential jazz. New episodes every Tuesday.

I know there are many versions of this clip floating around the net (and thankfully so for this speech should be shared), and though most of them are of good quality, I made this one with the intent of creating a higher quality version.
I've been slowly improving this video for a while now (as you can see in the other versions I have posted on my page). I've viewed this particular version on everything from my little 6yr old laptop, to my home system and from what I can see it's the best version on the net (although my opinion may be somewhat biased). So check it out and let me know what you think.

Also, I am never going to add clips to this speech.
I've seen so many versions where people have added movie and news clips in an attempt to increase the impact of this speech, or to promote their political views, and the result is always the same-
It SUCKS!!

If I were to add any images to this video, your thoughts would be limited to the visuals attached to it.
This speech is a treasure to find and a gift to give because it can connect to people from all walks of life. I'm not going to take away from the meaning by pushing my thoughts, beliefs or grudges on you or anyone else.
Think for yourself and create your own personal connection to this.

Believe in more than you see, and a brave new world will appear before you.

(7/27/12) P.S.
I've had a few people ask me to post this speech without the music. Well sit tight a little longer and the first chance I get I'll be glad to post it.

I have finally completed and posted the "non-musical" version of this speech -
