From Awe to Action

JASON SILVA & sign-language translated by Denis Blidariu

Jason Silva, Emmy-nominated storyteller and host of Brain Games, kicks off UNFINISHED with his latest work and research right at the intersection of technology, creativity, and human flourishing. Known for blending philosophy and wonder, Jason challenges us to not just envision a better world but to actively shape it. By connecting consciousness, tech, and mental health, he urges us to apply our beliefs through action—turning awe into praxis in an increasingly complex and digitized society. This opening talk, to be continued and deepened each day of #UNFINISHED24, sets the stage for a weekend of deep reflection and transformative ideas.

McLaren

⁠Authentic praxis is a constant interplay of theory, reflection, and action, challenging us to grow and evolve.

Revolutionary praxis requires that our political imagination never rest.
