to our session of the Festival of Dangerous Ideas,

I'm Ann Mossop from the Sydney Opera House.

I'm one of the curators of the Festival of Dangerous Ideas,

and it's a great pleasure to welcome you here this afternoon

we really wanted to talk about the future and the impact

of technology on the future, and because of our experience

trying to talk about scientific topics, pessimistic topics,

about the future of technology in a way that

was going to get people to think about these kind of very

complicated and sometimes difficult issues

with a positive undertone to what they were saying.

when we came across the work of Jason Silva,

we found out that he was speaking at TED.

he had made for that conference, and I thought, yes,

this is something that's going to be really wonderful to see

Jason is someone who's hard to categorize.

yes, he's the author of XYZ, and he's a professor

Jason is a philosopher, a filmmaker, a visionary,

Someone who, above all, is a really extraordinary

communicator about science, about complexity, and about

So I'm delighted that he's here to talk to us this afternoon.

Please make sure that your phone are on silent.

are getting so involved in the conversation

that it became a magnet to a lot of people trying

But we're fixing that, and Twitter is still

Jason is going to talk to us for about half an hour, 30 minutes,

of time for questions and discussion from you

because I think this is something where you will

So the opportunity to have a conversation with Jason today

is going to be one of the great pleasures of this session.

So please join me in welcoming to Jason Silva.

And I suppose, for me, the big inspiration behind this

came after I read Ernest Becker's book, Pulitzer

Prize winning book, the Denial of Death, 1974.

it's the book that Woody Allen gives Annie Hall in the movie

said that the human condition is characterized,

characterized uniquely, by our awareness of our mortality.

and this causes a tremendous amount of anxiety.

identifies three main solutions to the problem of death.

You create a narrative in which your soul will live forever

in the kingdom of God, and it gets rid of the death issue

because everything will be taken care of in the end.

Now, as technology has increasingly-- science

and technology increasingly made religion sort of more difficult

to believe, we've had to come up with other solutions

The second main solution to the problem of death

that Ernest Becker identifies is the romantic solution.

But of course, no relationship can ultimately

Eventually, your gods reveal their clay feet,

and all of a sudden, we can't be saved by our lovers

and the anxiety about our mortal coil kicks in again.
