The Stage at C3

This week’s talk is an invitation to savor ordinary pleasures, take our desires seriously, and give the “yes” within us room to breathe.

What do you really, really want? For many of us, somewhere beneath the goals, plans, and ambitions is a simple hope: we all would like to be happier.

What do you want? And how do you even know? Desire is easy. Everything after it is the hard part. The gap between wanting and making it real is a strange, wobbly stretch of time. It's where desire turns into a wound or an engine, where things stall, fall apart, or quietly begin. Part science, part story, part honest confession. Let's talk about wanting, and laugh a bit along the way.

In our final Empire of Screens talk, Brad puts on his futurist hat and looks ahead to offer some informed predictions about what might come next. *This is a partial recording due to live cast issues.

Guest Teacher Dr. Ezekiel “Zeke” Leo joins us for  the first time to share his expertise in computer science in a continuation of the series, Empire of Screens Part II.
