The Omega Point is a term coined by the French Jesuit Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. It describes a maximum level of complexity and consciousness towards which he believed the universe was evolving.

The concept is closely linked to Ray Kurzweill’s notion of the Singularity, as well as the theories of a number of other futurists, techno-utopics, and “psychonauts.” All these theories represent a highly-optimistic stance on the exponential increase of complexity in life, technology, and the universe.

In Jason Silva’s latest short video, he explores the common thread running through these theories and perhaps also the universe and you.
