Subscribe, Rate, & Review on YouTube • Spotify • Apple PodcastsThis week I speak with New York Times best-selling author and creative technologist Robin Sloan about the themes of his inimitable novel Moonbound, one of those reads that wrapped me in a vortex of wonder and synchronicity, and raises questions like:Where is the line between technology and magic?What is a computer, really, and do humans qualify?How wrong might we be about the future?How do stories shape reality, and what happens when we have to make room for the stories of the more-than-human world?A crucial point of note: this is “hard science fiction”, but it's not the kind you're used to. At a time when even the most square, prosaic suits are quick to quote Arthur C. Clarke's Third Law, it is appropriate that sci-fi as a kind of thinking-through of our condition would reflect the cultural retrieval of premodern tropes like wizards, dragons, talking animals, and sacred swords.What follows is a rich discussion of how Robin and I both enjoy traversing and interrogating those familiar boundaries between the lost and found, the sensible and the ineffable, wildness and city, born and created, sleep and waking, care and power…Project LinksLearn more about this project and read the essays so far (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).Make tax-deductible donations to Humans On The LoopBrowse the HOTL reading list and support local booksellersJoin the Holistic Technology & Wise Innovation Discord serverJoin the private Future Fossils Facebook groupHire me for consulting or advisory workChapters0:00:00 – Teaser0:01:38 – Intro0:06:50 – Robin's Story0:08:35 – The Care and Feeding of AI0:13:38 – Magical Technologies vs. The (Other) Powers of Nature0:21:46 – Persistent Wildness in The Post-Apocalyptic Future0:28:57 – Mapping Everything & Getting Lost0:32:30 – The City of Transformation: Ephemeropoli from Burning Man to Rath Varia0:37:48 – Tuning Longevity to the Duration of our Interests0:41:49 – The Loss of Self in Data & The Metamorphic Self0:49:02 – Beaver Governance is Better Governance0:54:23 – Living Robots & Sleeping Institutions in Liquid Modernity1:02:16 – How Do We Keep Healthy Rhythms While Scaling?1:10:35 – Life at The College of Wyrd1:18:01 – Recommendations for Good Discussion & Book Takeaways1:23:09 – Thanks & OutroMentionsEliot Peper (Re: FF 47, 115)Eliot Peper's interview with Robin Sloan, “Binding The Moon”Gordon Bell's MyLifeBitsTim Morton's Hell: In Search of A Christian EcologyThe Long Now FoundationKevin Kelly's “The Expansion of Ignorance” (Re: FF 128, 165, 204)Star WarsTyson Yunkaporta (Re: FF 172)Adventure TimeThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of The KingdomMichael Crichton's Jurassic ParkJack VanceM.

Neal Stephenson, visionary speculative fiction author and long-time friend of Long Now, joined us for a conversation with journalist Charles C. Mann on the research behind his new novel Polostan, the dawn of the Atomic Age, and the craft of historical storytelling. Polostan is the first installment in a monumental new series called Bomb Light - an expansive historical epic of intrigue and international espionage, presaging the dawn of the Atomic Age. Set against the turbulent decades of the early twentieth century, Polostan is an inventive, richly detailed, and deeply entertaining historical epic from Stephenson, whose prior books include Cryptonomicon and The Baroque Cycle

Traversing through time and space, and through humanness to the beyond, listening is a powerful and underrated practice. So says author, educator, and cultural activist Christian McEwen. She prefers to use the word "listening" not simply for the work of our ears, but as an extended metaphor for openness and receptivity - less actual than symbolic, less physical than metaphysical - rippling out from the self-centered human to the farthest reaches of the non-human world. In her latest work, In Praise of Listening (2023), she offers many accounts of listening as a pathway to realities forgotten and hidden, ranging from intimate anecdotes about family and friends to transformational social narratives from researchers, healers, activists, and more. The book tracks the endangered practice of listening through literature, Buddhism, nature writing, science, and sociology, including interviews with writers and therapists, naturalists, storytellers, and musicians. Christian's latest work might be seen as a cousin to her earlier, popular book, World Enough & Time: On Creativity and Slowing Down (2011), now in its second edition. "From the beginning, I was concerned with how slowness might intersect with happiness, and then again with creativity," Christian writes in World Enough. "Like the English composer Brian Eno, I wanted to find a way of living in 'a Big Here and a Long Now.' It was obvious from the start that this would not be easy." Strewn with a delicious assortment of quotes on slowing down - ranging from Lily Tomlin to Gandhi to Rumi - World Enough also gave rise to a separate book of quotes celebrating slowness, aptly titled The Tortoise Diaries. Growing up in the Scottish countryside, perhaps it was the quietude of her childhood - or its contrast with the fast-paced life in New York she witnessed as a young adult - that drew her life to dedicate her life to listening. Even in her early work as a poet, listening was key to expressing what is experienced beyond the immediately visible. Her writing draws attention to minute everyday subtleties and deeply felt personal experiences. Pausing to listen to a snail as it munches on a leaf, or to a hyacinth growing loudly in its pot, she brings together many different stories of people who've learned to listen and attune. Her work grapples with a range of topics, including gender. In 2004, she co-produced a video documentary titled Tomboys! that celebrates "tomboys of all ages" - highlighting real-life stories of feisty girls who grew up to be spirited women. At the start of the documentary, you can hear Christian's crisp, enchanting voice, "When I was a child, I was what people called a tomboy. The word itself seemed magical to me: fiery, disobedient, gloriously untidy." She's also written a play Legal Tender: Women & the Secret Life of Money (2014), based upon personal interviews with more than fifty women about their relationship with money - intended as a creative catalyst, modeling courage and honesty for its listening audience, both through the play itself and through a linked project known as "The Money Stories" workshops. Christian's thesis as a writer and producer is simple: stories give rise to other stories, and courage and clarity inspire more of the same. She has edited four anthologies, including The Alphabet of the Trees: A Guide to Nature Writing and Sparks from the Anvil: The Smith College Poetry Interviews, based on a series of interviews she conducted with visiting poets. She has written for The Nation, The Village Voice, and numerous other journals, including The Edinburgh Review of Books and the Shambhala Sun. Growing up in the Borders of Scotland "in a big old-fashioned house" with "beautiful shabby rooms and scented gardens" and "a perpetual drone of adult anxiety about school fees and taxes and the latest heating bill," Christian first came to the United States on a Fulbright Scholarship. She has taught poetry and creative writing at a number of venues, including Williams College in Massachusetts, the Zen Mountain Monastery in Upstate New York, and the Scottish Poetry Library in Edinburgh. She has also worked as a writer-in-the-schools for ALPS and the Teachers & Writers Collaborative. Christian has been a fellow, several times, both at the MacDowell Colony, and at Yaddo. In 2011, she received a grant in playwriting from the MA Cultural Council. In all her work, she continues to encourage the reader to take a moment to stop and listen. "In a world of racket and distraction, generous, expansive listening is increasingly under siege. But it remains a skill worth honoring, worth passing on...Many an old story begins with the words, 'Long ago, when animals could speak....' Perhaps the corollary would be just as good an opening.... 'Long ago, when people could listen.'" Join us for a slow conversation with this ardent listener, as we co-create a circle to reclaim this ancient medicinal practice.

For episode 79 of Entrepreneur Rx, John interviews rockstar Esther Dyson, founder of Wellville, a 10-year nonprofit project dedicated to demonstrating the value of long-term investment in health and equity. Esther has been or is a director of many companies such as 23andMe, Avanlee Care, Meetup, and WPP Group. In addition, Esther is an active angel investor and also enjoys sitting on the boards of several nonprofits, such as Charity Navigator, ExpandED Schools, Long Now and The Commons Project.  This interview starts off with her explaining the Wellville project and her impressive background (she has even trained as a backup cosmonaut). Esther emphasizes the importance of asking questions and learning from others, rather than trying to have all the answers. Esther then shares her experiences as an angel investor, highlighting the qualities she looks for in founders, such as creativity, resilience, vision and humility.  Esther goes on to express concern about society's addiction to instant gratification of all kinds – drugs, food, VC exits and the like. She stresses the importance of providing support and resources for maternal care, doula services, and parenting education to create a stable foundation for future generations and to “train” babies to be healthy humans resistant to manipulation…by trained AIs. Esther encourages individuals to face their fears and take risks, emphasizing the value of having a support system in place. She then concludes by reminding listeners that failure is a natural part of life and should be embraced as a learning opportunity.

It's August 31st 8023 – six thousand years in the future – and you are in a mountain in Nevada. It has taken you several days to get here. You've had to hike, you've had to endure the harsh heat – the thorns – and you've stumbled upon a set of metal doors. This is what you've been looking for. The doors are a kind of crude airlock, keeping out dust and animals. You head into the darkness of a long tunnel. There's the mildest hint of light ahead that you slowly find your way to. You look up. A faint light filtering down now through giant gears, illuminating the beginning of a spiral staircase. You start climbing. It winds up the outer rim of the tunnel, rising towards the gears and faint light overhead. The stairs are carved out of the rock. After climbing about 100 feet you encounter a large bronze egg filled with concrete. It's about the size of a small car and weighs 5,000 kilograms. After you pass the weights you keep climbing, pass more giant gears, some over 8 feet in diameter – and then you find it. The world's slowest computer. And it plays a chime for you. Simple bells, but a unique combination nobody in living memory has ever heard, nor will ever hear again. This is a clock. I started just thinking about, just as a project for myself, the idea of building a very slow clock that would last for 10,000 years. Sometime in the 1990s, I started noticing the year 2000 was kind of a mental barrier for people. It was hard for them to think past it. And so I started just thinking about, just as a project for myself, the idea of building a very slow clock. And 10,000 years being a kind of nice number because our history is kind of 10,000 years old. So we ought to have a future that's as big as our history. It's not a work of science fiction. It's real. Danny wanted to design a symbol of the future in the same way the Pyramids of Giza are a symbol of the past. If you go to the pyramids in Egypt and you touch those stones, I mean those are stones that human hands touched thousands of years ago. Is there anything we can put into the world where you would be touching this thing and this thing would endure and you would know that people in the year 7000 or something might also touch that same thing and think about you and does that build some kind of a connection across time? The 10,000 Year Clock, or the Clock of the Long Now, is the work of the Long Now Foundation. The Long Now Foundation is a nonprofit here in San Francisco that's trying to help people think about the next 10,000 years. And the way we want to do that is by also helping them think about the last 10,000 years. When we're thinking about the future, there's so many organisations or cultural narratives that want to convince people or talk about how we're at the end of the civilisational narrative. That's the idea is that you're really looking out at a multi-thousand year time horizon. You're thinking about how the decisions that you're making today affect people in 400 human generations. You're going to do things a little bit differently. And that might actually be really important. This clock really encapsulates everything that I love. It's oddly obsessive about something that's impossible to predict. It's incredibly philosophical and I think it's really important. It's all about fostering long-term thinking. It's all about projecting further into the future than the financial year or your five-year plan or dare I say it – you. It's all about hope and about the possibility that that there might be a future and that's so refreshing in a world where we're constantly told that the clock is ticking…

Daniel Görtz and Michael Garfield in dialogue, hosted by Tom Amarque "Evil is the annunciation of the next level of order" Paleontologist-Futurist Michael Garfield is devoted to helping navigate our age of accelerating weirdness and helping cultivate the curiosity and play we'll need to thrive in it. As host and producer of both Future Fossils Podcast & The Santa Fe Institute's Complexity Podcast, Michael acts as interlocutor for a worldwide community of artists, scientists, and philosophers — a practice that feeds his synthetic and transdisciplinary "mind-jazz" performances in the form of essay, music, and fine art. Standard-bearer for a new generation of boundary-defying scholars, Michael refuses to be enslaved by a single perspective, creative medium, or intellectual community, walking through the walls between academia and festival culture, theory and practice — speaking and performing everywhere from Moogfest to Burning Man, SXSW to Boom Festival, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia to Long Now's Ignite Talks to The Chapel of Sacred Mirrors. Daniel Görtz is the co-author, with Emil Esper Friis, of both “Hanzi Freinacht” books The Listening Society and Nordic Ideology. Daniel's work approaches what many know as Ken Wilber's integral theory, but considers its secular and practical application to politics, cultural currents in society, within the arts and beyond. He lives in Sweden and works for Metamoderna, the publisher of metamodern books, and for Glimworks, an IT-company where he is In-House Philosopher. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podcast-c709ee4/message

In honor of Pride month here in the US, I wanted to bring you a genuine conversation with a number of dear friends of mine about our own discoveries about our places in the LGBTQIA+ universe. We're having a frank, open discussion about our experiences, our joys, our struggles, and so much more. Regardless of how you (or those in your lives) identify, these issues touch all of us, and I want to help bring greater understanding to my community and to all those whose lives you touch. I'm joined by three amazing guests – not “experts” per se, simply real people: Kelly Mahalak, Cassandra Coghill, and Chivas Sandage – as we dive into: Our own journeys to self-discovery The terms we use to describe ourselves, and the challenges in using these terms Compulsory heterosexuality Coming out is not a one-time thing The privilege and curse of “passing” The many joys in our lives related to our queerness Laughter. Tears. Deep truths. This conversation has it all!!! About Cassandra A. Coghill I am Cassandra A. Coghill, a Relationship Alchemist and Intimacy Guide. I am a healer, a priestess, and a witch. I have a Bachelor's degree in Women and Gender Studies, with a minor in Human Development and Family Science, from North Dakota State University in Fargo, ND. (Go Bison!)  While attending college, I became a certified Reiki Master Practitioner and gave birth to my first child. While pregnant with my second child, I was initiated onto the path of priestesshood at the Goddess Temple of Ashland, Oregon. I am also an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church. A powerful inner call to understand the mysteries of life lead me into the study of metaphysics and the occult from a young age. I have been a practicing solitary white witch for the past 11 years. I have studied the Tarot since 2014 and consult it and other oracles for myself and my clients regularly. I work with the so-called “classical” or “Western” elements of Air, Water, Fire and Earth in nearly everything I do. My love for the so-called “Eastern” traditions runs deep (I've studied yoga, tantra, ayurveda, traditional chinese medicine, feng shui and Buddhist philosophy informally but extensively); but, as a person of predominantly British ancestry, the deepest and most powerful magick I bring forth tends to be drawn from ancient, indigenous European traditions, rituals, symbologies and myths. I commune with angels, dance with faeries and sing the songs of my ancestors regularly.” To learn more about and follow Cassandra: infinitegenesis.com/bio-links Facebook.com/Cassandra.coghill.37 Instagram.com/Cassandra.coghill About Chivas Sandage Chivas Sandage teaches women's writing workshops on Zoom and also works privately as a coach, editor, and consultant.

　CULTIBASE Radioは、人やチームの創造性を高める知見を音声でお届けします。CULTIBASE Radio マネジメントの132回目では、CULTIBASE編集長であり株式会社MIMIGURI 代表取締役Co-CEOの安斎勇樹と、同じく株式会社MIMIGURI 代表取締役Co-CEOのミナベトモミが、「これからの経営リーダーの条件を真剣に考察する」というテーマでディスカッションしました。 今回のマネジメントラジオでは、先日安齋が出したnote「企業リーダーと事業リーダーは何が違うのか？経営人材への「覚醒条件」を考える」をもとに、これからの経営リーダーの条件を考察した。 ミナベは、MIMIGURIでは最近CXOや事業部長をやっていた方などのジョインが続いており、デリゲーションを行う中でこれまでとは異なる身体感覚を得るようになったと述べ、アンラーニングの必要性を感じたと語る。 安斎は、世の中的に経営人材育てるというと新規事業をやらせようとの話になることが多く、それ自体は正しい必要条件ではあるものの、事業責任者になって新規事業も立ち上げられるし事業も回せる人がぶつかる壁もあると指摘する。そこで、企業リーダーと事業リーダーの違いについて上記のnoteで考察を書いたと安斎は述べる。 安斎は考察にあたって、スチュアート・ブランド氏が、著書「The Clock of the Long Now」の中で提唱した「ペース・レイヤリング」と呼ばれるモデルが参考になったと語る。 「ペース・レイヤリング」は社会の変化を地層のように連なった6つの階層に分け、表層にあるもの（流行や商習慣）ほど変化のスピードが速く、深層にあるもの（文化や自然環境）ほどゆっくりと変化すると捉えている。新規事業を回して事業をしてる人は上の流行や商習慣の変化を逃さずに捉えていく必要があり、企業リーダーは人間文化や生態系など社会全体のゆっくりとした変化を俯瞰した上で、自分たちの会社がどういう存在になっていくべきかを考える必要があると主張する。しかし前者の成功体験を多く重ねると、却って後者を阻害するのではないかと安斎は語る。 また、現代の我々の働き方と昭和に求められた働き方が大きく異なるように、人間や社会の価値観は10年単位で大きく変わってきたとミナベは述べた。 前回のマネジメントラジオでは長期休暇におけるディープリフレクションについて話されたが、企業リーダーは目の前の課題を追いかけがちな普段のリフレクションだけではなく、より長期的な目線を持って深い層の変化も捉えられるようなリフレクションの時間を取る必要があるとミナベは述べた。 安斎は、昨今は組織づくりや経営に関するパラダイムが現在進行系で大きくシフトしており、変化していく前提で組織づくりの考え方も変える必要があると語る。しかし、旧来的な組織づくりと現代（新時代）の組織づくりの違いや、発展する組織づくりの仕方をメタ的に知る機会は少ない。 そこで、ヒトと組織に強い経営人材になるための『新時代の組織づくり』 と題した無料のオンラインウェビナーを6月27日に開催することが決定した。多様な人材から事業成果を最大化させる方法論について、最新の研究知見や実践事例に基づき安斎が解説する。 ＊＊＊ 組織の創造性のマネジメントについて長年研究してきた安斎勇樹が「新時代の組織づくり」の本質について読み解き、多様な人材と組織から事業成果を最大化させる新しい方法論について、最新の研究知見と350社以上の大企業およびメガベンチャーを支援してきた実践事例に基づいて体系的に解説するウェビナーを6月27日に開催します。 ヒトと組織に強い経営人材になるための『新時代の組織づくり』  本イベントは経営者や管理職の方はもちろん、人事担当者の方にもおすすめです。 無料公開イベントですので、CULTIBASE Lab会員以外の方もご参加いただけます。ぜひお誘い合わせの上、お気軽にご参加ください！ お申し込みはこちら（Zoomウェビナー登録） ※事前にお申し込みいただいた方には、リマインドメールをお送りいたします。参加しそびれることのないよう、「お申し込み」からの事前登録を推奨いたします。 ※ウェビナー形式のため、顔出しやグループワークなどはありません。 CULTIBASE Radioは、SpotifyやApple podcast、YouTubeなどでも配信中！最新情報を見逃さないよう、ぜひお好きなメディアをフォロー/チャンネル登録してみてください！ 『これからの経営リーダーの条件を真剣に考察する』の概要『これからの経営リーダーの条件を真剣に考察する』の関連コンテンツ  ▼「リーダーシップ教育の最前線」を俯瞰する https://www.cultibase.jp/videos/11999 ▼組織の「矛盾」を手懐けるリーダーシップの最新知見 https://www.cultibase.jp/videos/10317 ◇　　　◇　　　◇ 人と組織のポテンシャルを引き出す知見をさらに深く豊かに探究していきたいという方は、会員制オンラインプログラム「CULTIBASE Lab」がオススメです。CULTIBASE Labでは、組織の創造性を最大限に高めるファシリテーションとマネジメントの最新知見を学べる探究型学習コミュニティとして、会員限定の動画コンテンツに加え、CULTIBASEを中心的に扱う各領域の専門家をお招きした特別講座など、厳選した学習コンテンツをお届けします。 ▼「CULTIBASE Lab」の詳細・お申し込みはこちら https://cultibase.jp/lab

"What first appears to be a wish for more time may turn out to be just one part of a simple, yet vast, desire for autonomy, meaning, and purpose." -Jenny Odell Join us for an evening on long-term thinking with a talk & reading from Jenny Odell and conversation with Long Now's Executive Director Alexander Rose. Artist and writer Jenny Odell brings her acutely insightful observations to the dominant framework of time, based on industrial and colonial worldviews, that is embedded within our societies. Addressing the inability to reconcile the artificially constructed time pressures of modern culture with planetary-scale crisis, she offers a series of histories, concepts, and places as "provocations that can defamiliarize an old language of time, while pointing in the direction of something else." Odell's newest book is Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock (March 02023) and her first book is the widely-read How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy (02019). Her visual work is exhibited internationally, and she's been artist in residence at Recology SF (the dump), the San Francisco Planning Department, the Internet Archive, and the Montalvo Arts Center. Previously, Odell taught digital art at Stanford University.

Psychedelics and other mind-altering substances have been used for thousands of years across the world in religious, spiritual, celebratory, and healing contexts. Despite a half century of a "War on Drugs" in the United States, there has been a recent resurgence in public interest in ending drug prohibition and re-evaluating the roles these substances can play in modern society. What can our several-thousand year history with these substances teach us about how they can be used in a modern society? What legal & cultural frameworks can be used to increase access to these substances, and what are the potential downsides of these frameworks? Ismail Ali works daily developing and implementing the legal and policy strategies that will define the next several decades of psychedelic access, and joins Long Now in an evening of exploring the deep history of psychedelics and what role they can play in our future. Ismail Lourido Ali, JD (he/him or they/them) is the Director of Policy & Advocacy at the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), and has been personally utilizing psychedelics and other substances in celebratory & spiritual contexts for over fifteen years. Ismail works with, is formally affiliated with, or has served in leadership or board roles for numerous organizations in the drug policy reform ecosystem, including Alchemy Community Therapy Center (formerly Sage Institute), Psychedelic Bar Association, Students for Sensible Drug Policy, Chacruna Institute, and the Ayahuasca Defense Fund.

Recommend this show by sharing the link: pod.link/2Pages Our inability to think long-term is encapsulated in a system we barely notice: the way that we write the year. Implicit in the number ‘2023' is that when we get to 9999, there's nowhere left to go. We've programmed into our lives that we can't imagine beyond eight thousand or so years into the future, which is nothing in the grand scheme of a geological age. The Long Now is an organization that writes the date with an extra digit. Alternatively, it's written as ‘02023,' expanding our ‘now' from a ten thousand-year span, to one that's a hundred thousand years. This change has allowed me to stop staring a few feet ahead of me, eyes fixed to the path, and instead look to the horizon and remember the bigger game afoot.

Deep inside a mountain, a full day’s hike from any road, in a dry, deserted part of West Texas, a foundation funded by Jeff Bezos is building a giant clock that’s hundreds of feet tall. It’s been called the Millennium Clock, the 10,000 Year Clock and the Clock of the Long Now. Like the Pyramids, Stonehenge and the Colosseum, its makers hope it will outlast our civilization and tick for 10 millennia. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Alexander Rose, executive director of the Long Now Foundation, which has been building the roughly $40 million prototype of the clock in Texas.

Clocks and calendars chop time into increments – minutes, hours, days, years. It's efficient, and it helps us get to meetings on time. But when we invented artificial time, we gave up natural time, and a deep sense of connection to the larger universe. What does time feel like when you stop counting it?

Interdisciplinary artist Alicia Eggert and Long Now's Executive Director Alexander Rose will be in conversation for this special evening discussion of time, art and long-term thinking. Eggert's sign work uses sculpture to bring time to the foreground, embodying its passage through carefully chosen quotes. These words, rendered in neon and steel, cycle rhythmically through subtle text changes designed to encourage a heightened awareness of time and place in the viewer. In the sculpture “This Present Moment,” she uses an epigram of Stewart Brand's from his book The Clock of The Long Now, which she first encountered while doing research in 02008. For more in-depth reading, see Long Now Managing Editor Ahmed Kabil's 02021 interview with Alicia Eggert and Long Now Fellow Jonathon Keats' article on Eggert's work in Forbes. Alicia Eggert's work gives material form to language and time, powerful but invisible forces that shape our perception of reality. Her creative practice is motivated by an existential pursuit to understand the linear and finite nature of human life within a seemingly infinite universe. Her inspiration is drawn from physics and philosophy, and her sculptures often co-opt the styles and structures of commercial signage to communicate messages that inspire reflection and wonder. Eggert's artworks have been installed on building rooftops in Russia, on bridges in Amsterdam, and on uninhabited islands in Maine, beckoning us to ponder our place in the world and the role we play in it. Eggert is an Associate Professor of Studio Art and the Sculpture Program Coordinator at the University of North Texas; her work has been exhibited internationally, and is in the collection of the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Hello babies! We're engaging in some light celebrity schadenfreude this week! Some of our least favorite personalities showed their true colors recently during our local election cycle, and their billionaire du jour lost. On today's episode, we play some classic TV fuck/marry/kill. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for "Clock of the Long Now," a mechanical clock under construction that is designed to keep time for 10,000 years.

Host Casandra Grundstrom is joined by special guest  Associate Professor David Ribes. David joins us from the University of Washington in the Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering and is the deLAB director. He is a sociologist of science and technology and focuses on the development and sustainability of research infrastructures. David's work investigates the long-term changes in objects of research in varying domains including ecology, particle physics, and health (HIV/AIDS). In this episode, we reflect on (cyber)infrastructures from a sociotechnical perspective. Further considering how what we build for research now impacts the long-term outcomes and what those unintended consequences might be; real-world examples from David's cases are discussed in ecology and health. We then shift to consider the long-now in connection with sustainability and conducting research.   New music made for this podcast from a talented NTNU music student: https://soundcloud.com/demo-little/technological-outbreakReferences:Ribes, D., & Lee, C.

Jonathan Haidt sees that we have entered a social-psychological phase change that was initiated in 02009 when social media platforms introduced several fateful innovations that changed the course of our society and disintegrated our consensus on reality. In this conversation with Long Now co-founders Stewart Brand and Kevin Kelly, Haidt presses on questions of technological optimism, morality vs ethics, teen mental health, possible platform tweaks that could reduce the damage and just how long this next cycle of history could last. Prompted by Haidt's piece on Why The Past 10 Years of American Life Have Been Uniquely Stupid, this discussion offers a behind the scenes look at the thinking going into Haidt's next book; release slated for the fall of 02023.

De subtitel van het boek is, lange termijn denken voor een korte termijn wereld. Roman Krznaric is een filosoof die schrijft over de kracht van ideeën om de maatschappij te veranderen. Hij schreef meerdere boeken waaronder Carpe Diem Regained, Empathy en How to Find Fulfilling Work. Nieuwste boek (2022) What The Rich Don't Tell The Poor: Conversations with Guatemalan Oligarchs - is eigenlijk zijn studie uit 2006 nu uitgebracht. Getrouwd met Kate Raworth bekend van de Donut economie. Het boek bestaat 3 delen: Deel 1 - Touwtrekken Om De Tijd​​Deel 2 - Zes Manieren Van Denken Op De Lange TermijnDeel 3 - De Tijdrebellie Deel 1 - touwtrekken om de tijd 1. Hoe kunnen wij goede voorouders zijn? In dit hoofdstuk laat Roman zien wat goede voorouders zijn en de koppeling met lange termijn denken. Zoals bijvoorbeeld de zevende generatie besluitvorming van vele inheemse bevolking die een tijspanne van bijna twee eeuwen bevat. Niet eenvoudig om nu twee eeuwen verder te denken. Lange termijn denken heeft gevolgen voor persoonlijk besluitvorming en van de publieke instituties, economische systemen en cultuur.  2. De marshmallow en de eikelDe eeuwige tweespalt in onze hersenen Interessant inzicht in dit hoofdstuk over hoeveel we over de langere termijn denken. Onze sociale interactie vraagt dat we nadenken over de toekomst. Vertrouwen en wederkerigheid werken goed wanneer je nu kunt nadenken over de toekomst wanneer je zelf mogelijk hulp nodig hebt. Tijd zit verweven met het sociale contract met de ander. Maar de dood lijkt het eindpunt te zijn in het denken op de lange termijn. We denken zelden verder dan ons eigen leven. Deel 2 zes manieren van denken op de lange termijn Zes verschillende manier om te denken op de lange termijn. Samen vormen ze het gereedschap om een goede voorouder te worden. 3. Nederigheid met betrekking tot de diepe tijdDe mensheid als een oogwenk in de kosmische geschiedenis Hierin gaat Roman in op de digitalisering en hoe techbedrijven ons bewust afleiden van om onze eigen doelen na te streven, en waartegen lange termijn denken moeilijk mee concurreren. We zien een verschuiving van ons tijddenken van een belastingjaar in plaats van een zonnejaar of een kwartaalcycles in plaats van de seizoenen. Mooi ook de The Clock of the Long Now - de 10000 jaren klok. Onze zorgen om de aarde gaat niet verder dan 100 jaar, die van ons eigen leven, van onze kinderen en kleinkinderen. (Martin Rees) Door een 0 te zetten voor het jaartal dus 02022 kun je eenvoudiger denken in tienduizenden jaren in de toekomst (Long Now Foundation) 4. Denken als erflaters (legacy mindset)Hoe kunnen wij goed herinnerd worden? We willen graag iets nalaten zagen we in het boek Leaving a legacy, zodat we iets van ons blijft voortbestaan na onze dood. Het is beter  persoonlijke nalatenschap te benaderen om  te kijken naar de volgende generaties die we niet kennen. Roman noemt drie manieren van langetermijndenken: De dood nudge - geven na de dood erfenis gedeeltelijk naar een goed doel. Een goede vraag hierbij is wat zouden onze nakomelingen hopen dat we beter hadden gedaan voor hen.Intergenerational gifts - giften doorgeven aan volgende generatiesWijsheid van whakapapa -  (Maori) een continue levenslijn die een individu verbindt met het verleden, heden en de toekomst. Een speech uitschrijven, een in memoriam van jou, de vertrokken ouder. Een mooi voorbeeld is Green Belt Movement die bomen planten in Kenia, gaat na haar dood verder. Bij haar dood al 25.000 vrouwen getraind en 40 miljoen bomen geplant. 5. Intergenerationele rechtvaardigheidWaarom we de zevende generatie moeten respecteren Hier gaat het over een vertegenwoordiging van toekomstige generaties in het nu.  Interessant idee met De pijl, weegschaal, blinddoek en de stok.  Bij de weegschaal interessant om te kijken naar de toekomstige populatie grootte ten opzichte van wat heeft geleefd tot nu toe, vele malen groter.

In this episode, Lucy Kind interviews Zander Rose, an industrial designer and the Executive Director of the Long Now Foundation, a non profit organization that fosters long term thinking and planning on the timescale of civilization. Zander tells Lucy about  the Long Now's efforts to build an immense mechanical clock that will keep time for 10,000 years. Lucy asks Zander about the benefits of "better, slower thinking," and Zander expands on his vision to set aside short term gains and prioritize decisions that benefit future generations, so our far distant ancestors can inherit a richer, more abundant planet.

How has time been imagined, politicized, and weaponized over the centuries—and how it might bring peace? Horologist David Rooney tells the hidden story of timekeeping and how it continues to shape our modern world. From medieval water clocks to monumental sundials, and from coastal time signals to satellites in earth's orbit, Rooney takes us on a global journey that showcases the ingenuity and craftsmanship humans have used to track and measure time. His in-depth research illustrates the very real effects clocks and timekeeping have on everything from navigation, to capitalism, to politics, to our very identity. An expert storyteller, Rooney brings pivotal moments from the past vividly to life and shows us how a history of clocks is a history of civilization. David Rooney, is a historian of technology and expert on clocks and timekeeping practices. As a curator at the Science Museum, London, Rooney was the lead caretaker of Long Now's Prototype 1 of The 10,000 Year Clock which is on display there in the Making of the Modern World exhibit. Rooney is also author of several books including his most recent, About Time: A History of Civilization in Twelve Clocks.

I'm joined by Long Now director of strategy, Nicholas Paul Brysiewicz, to discuss how to think about the very long term future, philosophy, and what the Long Now foundation is up to. 

The newest Spori art gallery exhibit called "Naturalists of the Long Now" features glacier photography from artist Ian van Coller. In this interview, he explains the collaboration between artists and scientists which has influenced science-based discoveries and beautiful, natural photography.

If you enjoy this podcast, consider buying me a coffee: https://adamstoner.com/support When astronaut John Glenn commenced mission Mercury-Atlas 6 to become the first American to orbit the Earth, he had something strange strapped to his silver spacesuit: a stopwatch. Seconds after launch, Glenn starts the stopwatch in sync with tracking stations across the world and at that moment Mission Elapsed Time begins counting up from zero. And so a new timezone shared between a handful of specialists on Earth and one man in space is created: a new epoch. An epoch is an instant in time chosen as the origin of a particular era […] The epoch moment […] defined from a specific, clear event of change. That's the premise behind Time Since Launch, a long-scale clock made by US indy design duo CW&T that I purchased at the start of the month. Functioning like a stopwatch grenade, pulling its pin burns into the Time Since Launch chip that very moment – an action that cannot be undone. The counter will then tick up for just shy of one million days: 2,739 years. I pulled my pin at an entirely arbitary time: September 15th 2021 at 05:32. I've also done a range of non-pin-pulling related things including decking the house out with Philips Hue lightbulbs and Eve Cameras – I manage the whole lot in Apple's HomeKit – and I laid my hands on the Astrohaus Freewrite Traveller, an offline ‘smart' typewriter. I hope it'll help me write better in a more distraction-free environment. As well as writing, I've been reading. Walking Home by Simon Armitage and Anna McNuff's trilogy of adventure books – The Pants of Perspective, Fifty Shades of the USA, and Llama Drama – are all fantastic. Anna and I have spoken on a couple of occasions and she's bloody lovely. There's also About Time: A History of Civilization in Twelve Clocks by David Rooney which unpicks humankind's fascination with measuring and studying time from GMT to GPS, time as a means to oppress, liberate, time as a weapon, and as a peacekeeping tool. If you're after a 30-minute viewable version instead, David's seminar provides a nice overview. I'm in London for the first time in four months today visiting both the Science Museum and Royal Observatory for a project I'm launching in the new year. The Science Museum is home to the Clock of the Long Now prototype; a 10,000-year timepiece designed by the Long Now Foundation to tick once a year and chime a unique permutation of bells every day. January 07003 is the Brian Eno album that explores those bells and you can jump to specific dates here. Another ‘slow clock' lives at Bristol's We The Curious which has a whole section dedicated to the exploration of time and our perception of it. I visited to experience their awe-inspiring planetarium and new exhibition, Project What If, for the Activity Quest podcast. If we truly aspire to a more objective understanding of the world, we have to make use of the advantages to be gained by occupying different intellectual places. That's a quote from How The World Thinks by Julian Baggini, another book I've been reading this month. With the COP26 climate summit happening in just a few short weeks, our leaders need to fast reckon with the long term effects of short term thinking. Occupying different intellectual places and witnessing different perspectives is perhaps more vital than ever. The Mysteries of Science team wrapped up season one of their podcast and extended an invitation to write for their Science and Nature magazine a few months ago. Astronauts get a literal different perspective and often come back psychologically changed from seeing the world from afar. It's a phenomenon known as the Overview Effect and has fascinated me ever since I saw Gaia at Gloucester Cathedral in 2020. That's what I wrote about and my piece on the Overview Effect is due to be published in The Week Junior's Science and Nature magazine in the coming weeks. Look for it on better newsstands. A renewed perspective is also the theme of Russell Brand's new live show which I saw at Cheltenham Town Hall on the 23rd. Called 33, it's all about the strangeness of lockdown: What have we learned? What have we not? And how do you ‘get back to normal' if you've never been normal? Talk of ‘the new normal' is gauche this far since the epoch moment of March 23rd 2020 when the UK entered its first lockdown. Yet, over the past few weeks, in conversations with friends and colleagues, and as I walk around London and visit museums and galleries and live comedy shows, a realisation has come to pass: the pandemic is over. Not scientifically – the pandemic is still there – but attitudes towards it have changed. Gradually, we've shifted our perspective. The news agenda has moved on, offices have re-opened, restrictions relaxed, the vast majority of people have the most effective vaccine in them, and we're emerging from the nineteen month tunnel dazzled by a new dawn. Mercury-Atlas 6 was the name of the mission. The spacecraft itself John got to name. He chose Friendship 7. After three orbits – 4 hours, 55 minutes and 23 seconds – John splashed down safely in the North Atlantic. After, he uttered just a few simple words: We have an infinite amount to learn from both nature and from each other. I think that sentiment is just as poignant today as it was when John uttered it 59 years ago. We are in a new epoch – post-pandemic – and we have an infinite amount still to learn. You'll next hear from me on November 1st 2021.

One of Long Now's founding premises is that humanity's most significant challenges require long-term solutions, including institutions that caretake and guide the knowledge and commitment needed to work over long time scales. However, there are a limited number of organizations that have managed to stay stable over many centuries, and in some cases, over a millennium. Long Now has been informally tracking these organizations for years, and in 02019 formed The Organizational Continuity Project to study long-lived institutions more formally. Alexander Rose, Long Now's Executive Director, discusses how The Organizational Continuity Project hopes to discover the lessons behind these long-lived organizations and build a discipline of shareable knowledge that will help contemporary institutions, companies, and governments develop into robust, long-lasting structures. In turn, we hope these institutions will be better equipped to address civilizational-scale problems with multi-generational thinking.

Philip Tetlock's research on the qualities of Super-forecasters explains why forecasting is hard and how diverse models and systematic thinking can help close the gap. We discuss: Improving predictions by regularly updating data The Brier Score and why it really matters Why larger samples permit more accurate short term predictions The difficulties with the “Long Now” narrative Hosted by Adam Butler, Mike Philbrick and Rodrigo Gordillo of ReSolve Global.

We've challenged the idea that battling VUCA should be traded for a greater embrace of a long now perspective, but what does that mean in practice? More specifically, what does it mean for those who are practicing foresight in their institutions, governments and lives? In the final episode of the Embracing the Long Now series, Yvette and Frank question the role of the futurist as a discipline that tackles uncertainty, and instead offer the persona of the anticipatory transformationalist that empowers organizations to stretch time as a means to realize emerging possibilities and unseen opportunities. What can we say… we're contrarians!

Francis Briers has over 15 years of experience facilitating individuals and groups. He trained at one of the UK's top drama schools, and he's an executive coach, a spiritual counselor, and a poet. A damn good poet, in my humble opinion. (Stick around to the very end of the conversation to hear him read one of his latest poems, There is No Solid Ground, written in the time of this pandemic. It is heart-wrenching and inspiring.)But the thing I want you to know most about Francis is that he is deeply committed to the pursuit of wisdom. Over the past decade, he has been distilling and articulating what we might call “a formula for wisdom,” which we get into (in part) in this conversation as we explore “What is it to be a wise being in the world?Please note that this episode was recorded while the pandemic was still the general backdrop of our lives, prior to the global protests. As you listen now, you may ask yourself, what is it to be a wise being in today's constantly evolving world? How might I carry a through-line of wisdom when so much around me is rattling and changing? And how might that wisdom help me show up for the world in the way that I am uniquely suited?The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerilla​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachEPISODE #10 NOTESThe Hero's Journey by Joseph CampbellFeeding Your Demons by Tsultrim Allioneifs-institute.comLove Poems from God by Daniel Ladinskyfrancisbriers.com/wise-fool-schoolStone Junction by Jim DodgeGeorge LeonardThe Clock of the Long Now by Stewart BrandFinite and Infinite Games by James CarseSimon SinekMy Tao Te Ching - A Fool's Guide to Effing the Ineffable by Francis BriersFrancisBriers.comSign up for Francis's Newsletter francisbriers.com/magiclinkedin.com/in/francis-briers-43550414instagram.com/francisbriers

In the thirty-first episode of the Podcast for Social Research, recorded live at the 2019 Night of Philosophy and Ideas (February 2nd - February 3rd, 7 p.m. - 7 a.m.), an all-night marathon of intellectual life co-sponsored by Brooklyn Public Library and the French Embassy, BISR faculty Suzanne Schneider, Ajay Singh Chaudhary, and Rebecca Ariel Porte deliver a series of talks on the theme of the evening, "Facing the Present. Suzy explores the linkages between the contemporary right wing and Islamic jihad; Ajay theorizes  “The Long Now” of life during climate change; Rebecca contemplates the puzzle of naming and envisioning possible worlds like and yet unlike our own. What senses of past, present, and future animate acts of terror or a nihilist orientation to the world? How, as political subjects, do we register the devastations of the anthropocene, already so powerfully present to so many? Why do we attach to distant, radiant, indifferent objects and what does their allure have to do with the difficult arrangements of the given world?
