Jason Silva creates some incredible philosophical videos. He is noted for reiterating Timothy Leary’s description of the computer and internet as the LSD of the 90’s. And his short clips are intended to be such a psychedelic experience. Really great; as most of them are based on many of the books and ideas posted in this blog. Be sure to watch his videos:
Here is Jason Silva’s film rendition of the strange loop from Hofstadter’s Godel, Escher, Bach.
Cambridge Nights, the name of a Vimeo channel, interviews professors and scientists working in Boston. Just to name a few: Steven Pinker, Woodie Flowers, Nicholas Christakis, Geoffrey West, and Albert-László Barabási.
I’ll be attending a talk by Geoffrey West soon. Many of his ideas are great additions to the work of Stuart Kauffman, Ricard Sole, and others at the Santa Fe Institute.
List of talks and lectures by Geoffrey West:

Geoffrey West: The surprising math of cities and corporations
