See the Look on This Baby’s Face as It Begins to Comprehend Existence

1 minute read

The host of National Geographic’s show Brain Games, Jason Silva, has shared a video on his YouTube channel “Shots of Awe” in which he filmed himself explaining to a baby where the youngster came from using some really intense metaphors. For example, he explains, “somehow a piece of software melded together, fused, and then started to turn itself into a living, breathing, like a steak with a brain. You’re meat that grew up inside your mother…You’re transcendent!”

Doesn’t seem like grade schools will invite this man to lecture about how babies are made in health classes anytime soon. But that doesn’t stop this little one from having his mind totally blown.
