Jason Silva on Aging | Brain Games

youthful brains have adapted to this new
multitasking existence that we’re in
right now young brains are better at
rapidly switching between tasks as we
have increasingly fluid access to a
repository of all of human knowledge the
part of the brain that’s responsible for
storing facts is said by some experts to
be evolving into storing networks of
information so we’re learning to use our
brains to find information rather than
storing the information what we’re altom
utley battling is entry entropy is rust
its aging its metabolic decay life
however is anti-entropic life moves
towards greater complexity and
organization when that manifests itself
at the human scale human beings are
constantly trying to arrest their own
decay we do that by exercising our brain
we do that by putting ourselves in
challenging situations learning a new
language the ultimate end point of this
is death and so will we eventually
technologically transcend mortality I
think eventually we will question is of
whether it’s happens in my lifetime
I hope so
