Finding TRUTH in an Agenda Filled World- How Imagery is Changing Our Beliefs- Jason Lanier Ted Talk

How do you find truth in such an agenda filled world? In this Ted Talk, Photographer and Film Maker Jason Lanier discusses and shows the power of imagery and how ti's changing the hearts and minds of people around the planet due to the proliferenation of smart phones, social media and more.

We live in a time where the majority of people have access to drones, smart phones, action cameras and more to capture content. And with KZbin, Tiktok, instagram and Facebook, everytone on the planet has the power to publish and distribute their version of events through pictures, videos and written words.
So how do we discern the truth from lies? Will we harness this incredible power to be able to shape the world to be a better more unified place? Or will we use this power to sow divide, fabricate the truth and create even more chaos?
Jason discusses his pursuit of using his position as a photographer and film maker to try and show people what's taking place on this planet. He challenges you to look at what's really happening vs. the set of beliefs that you want to be true, even if they aren't.
We thank you for watching and invite you to write a comment down below to be able to share your opinion on what you think the world can do with this newfound power.

This world needs more people to tell the truth. Thank you Jason!

Great job Jason. As of 2024, the number of smartphone users is predicted to reach 7.1 billion. Currently, there are 6.84 billion smartphones globally. I’ve never even thought of this. It’s crazy.

I would love to have a coffee with you, my friend, just 20 or 30 minutes of yours and my time on this planet, to chat about images, video, thoughts, stuggles and triumphs. And it would be a chance for me to say thank you, personally. Nearly 6 years ago i watched a review by some guy in a hat telling me how remarkable the Sony a7iii was. Off the strength of that review alone, i purchased a piece of gear that worked for me, my one chance to get it right. Thank you Jason🙏 Maybe one day ill get to have that coffee with ya. Mike
