Episode notes
Two Kinds Of Truth
- Jason Silva distinguishes between objective 'chronos' truth and subjective 'kairos' poetic truth and says both matter.
- He warns to keep them separate to avoid 'reality bleed' and social conflict.
Consciousness As Collaborative Scene
- Consciousness arises from a collaboration between person, place, and time, shaping possible states.
- Silva likens life curation to assembling scenes in a movie to create different experiences.
Wonder Of The New Continent
- Silva recounts reading Fitzgerald imagining settlers encountering a 'fresh green breast' of a new world and feeling immense awe.
- He uses that image to explain why novelty can meet or fail our capacity for wonder.
