NFL – NFL players, communities rally for Bills safety Damar Hamlin The NFL and its fans are rallying in support of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, who remains in critical condition at a Cincinnati hospital after going into cardiac arrest on the field. Players and coaches from around the league were overcome with emotion while watching Hamlin be resuscitated back to life Monday night during Buffalo's game at Cincinnati. Hamlin’s uncle, Dorrian Glenn, told CNN that his nephew had to have his heart re-started twice — once on the field, and once at the hospital. Glenn says there were some encouraging signs Tuesday, including doctors reducing the amount of oxygen Hamlin was receiving. NFL – Fans give millions to Damar Hamlin’s toy drive for kids Damar Hamlin's goal was simple: He wanted to raise $2,500 online to buy toys for needy kids. It took about two years. Then came Monday, when the Buffalo Bills safety was critically injured and needed his heart restarted on the field in a chilling scene during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He instantly became one of the biggest stories in sports, and thousands of people found his GoFundMe page. The result was roughly $5.5 million donated in the first 24 hours after his injury. And the number is climbing. NFL – NFL balances emotions, tight schedule after Hamlin shock The NFL has informed the Bills and Bengals their suspended game will not be resumed this week while the Week 18 schedule remains unchanged. The NFL has made no decision regarding the possible resumption of the pivotal Bills-Bengals game at a later date. The game was suspended Monday night in the first quarter when Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest. The 24-year-old Hamlin remained in critical condition a day after the Bills said his heart stopped after making a tackle in the opening quarter of a game against the Bengals. Medical staff restored his heartbeat during frantic moments on the field before he was loaded into an ambulance. Players from both teams were crying and praying during an emotional scene on the field. NCAAFB – AP source: Panthers owner, Jim Harbaugh discuss coaching job According to a person familiar with the situation, Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper has talked to University of Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh about the team's head coaching position. The person characterized the talks as a conversation, not a job interview. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Tuesday because the team does not normally release details of its coaching search. The Panthers were eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday after a 30-24 loss to Tampa Bay. Steve Wilks is currently serving Panthers interim head coach. Under Harbaugh, the San Francisco 49ers reached the NFC championship game three straight years from 2011 to 2013 and lost Super Bowl 47 to Baltimore. MLB – Benintendi, White Sox finalize $75 million, 5-year contract All-Star outfielder Andrew Benintendi and the Chicago White Sox have finalized a $75 million, five-year contract. He is due a $3 million signing bonus, as well as $8 million in 2023, $16.5 million each season from 2024-26 and $14.5 million in 2027. The 28-year-old helped Boston win a World Series championship in 2018. He won a Gold Glove with Kansas City in 2021 and was chosen to his first All-Star team last season before the Royals traded him to the New York Yankees on July 27. He missed the playoffs with a broken right wrist.

Glenn says there were some encouraging signs Tuesday, including doctors reducing the amount of oxygen Hamlin was receiving. NFL – Fans give millions to Damar Hamlin’s toy drive for kids Damar Hamlin's goal was simple: He wanted to raise $2,500 online to buy toys for needy kids. It took about two years. Then came Monday, when the Buffalo Bills safety was critically injured and needed his heart restarted on the field in a chilling scene during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He instantly became one of the biggest stories in sports, and thousands of people found his GoFundMe page. The result was roughly $5.5 million donated in the first 24 hours after his injury.

Matthew Stafford is almost certainly out for the season with a bruised spinal cord, and backups John Wolford and Bryce Perkins have been fairly ineffective while playing three of the past four games. NCAAFB – Hall of Famer Croom: ‘Not enough progress’ for Black coaches New Hall of Famer Sylvester Croom says there has not been enough progress in college football when it comes to the hiring of Black head coaches. Croom, a star player for Alabama in the early 1970s, became the first Black head football coach in the Southeastern Conference in 2004 when he was hired by Mississippi State. Since then, there have been only four others and there are currently no Black head coaches in the SEC. Only one of 16 head coaching vacancies in major college football this year has been filled by a Black coach. Croom called it ‘disappointing' and ‘frustrating,' but said he was happy to see Deion Sanders get an opportunity with Colorado. Boxing – Mills Lane, Hall of Fame boxing referee, dies at 85 Mills Lane, the Hall of Fame boxing referee who was the third man in the ring when Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield's ear, died Tuesday. He was 85. Respected for being tough but fair, his “Let's get it on!” command became the final words heard before many memorable fights. Lane had suffered a stroke in 2002 and his son, Tommy, said his father had taken a significant turn for the worse recently before entering hospice care on Friday. He died at his home in Reno, Nevada, with his wife, Kaye, and two sons in the home.

FIFA – 2022 FIFA World Cup – Qatar Yesterday Knockout Round – Round of 16 Morocco 0, Spain 0 – Morocco wins on PK's 3-0 Portugal 6, Switzerland 1 Morocco 0, Spain 0 – MOR PK's 3-0 – Morocco beats Spain on penalties to advance at World Cup Morocco became the first Arab nation and only the fourth African nation to advance to the World Cup quarterfinals by beating Spain 3-0 in a penalty shootout. Pablo Sarabia, Carlos Soler and Sergio Busquets missed their penalties for Spain. Sarabia hit the post and Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou stopped the other two. The teams drew 0-0 in regulation and extra time. Morocco has been the biggest surprise of the tournament and will next face either Portugal or Switzerland. Morocco and Spain are close neighbors with a complex geopolitical relationship. Portugal 6, Switzerland 1 – Ronaldo dropped, Ramos scores 3 for Portugal at World Cup Cristiano Ronaldo’s replacement scored a hat trick to lead Portugal over Switzerland 6-1 and into the World Cup quarterfinals. Goncalo Ramos is a 21-year-old forward who only made his Portugal debut last month. He made his first start for his country by demonstrating the kind of clinical finishing Ronaldo was once known for. Ramos scored the opening goal in the 17th minute and added the others in the 51st and 67th. By that time chants of “RONALDO! RONALDO!” were swirling around the 89,000-seat Lusail Stadium. Ronaldo entered as a substitute in the 72nd. Friday Quarterfinals Croatia vs. Brazil, 10:00 a.m. Netherlands vs. Argentina, 2:00 p.m. FIFA – The next World Cup will jump to 48 teams.

It means more of soccer's so-called “little teams” that didn't make it to Qatar will be given a chance-of-a-lifetime when the World Cup goes to the United States, Canada and Mexico. Great news for everyone who was entertained by Saudi Arabia's stirring underdog upset of Lionel Messi's Argentina and Morocco knocking out Spain. More surprises surely await in four years. Only it's not clear for some that bigger is better at the World Cup. FIFA – Moroccans celebrate historic World Cup win against Spain Exuberant Moroccans have poured into the streets of their capital and in cities across Europe to celebrate their national soccer team's historic win against Spain at the World Cup. Morocco defeated Spain in a penalty shootout in Qatar, making the Atlas Lions the only team from outside Europe or South America to make it to the last eight. The capital, Rabat, was bursting with joy while Morocco fans also celebrated in the streets in France and Spain. FIFA – Ronaldo a solitary figure after being benched at World Cup Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t start Portugal's game against Switzerland in the round of 16 of the World Cup. The move came a day after his coach expressed frustration about Ronaldo's attitude in the last match. Gonçalo Ramos started in Ronaldo's place at Lusail Stadium. Ronaldo showed obvious displeasure at being removed from the game against South Korea on Friday. That led to Ramos getting the start. The 21-year-old made his international debut three weeks ago, then scored a hat trick in his first career start for Portugal, which came in the World Cup as Ronaldo's replacement. Portugal beat Switzerland 6-1 to advance to the quarterfinals.Detroit Red Wings goaltender Ville Husso (35) makes a save on a shot by Tampa Bay Lightning left wing Nicholas Paul (20) during the third period of an NHL hockey game Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2022, in Tampa, Fla.

FIFA – 2022 FIFA World Cup – Qatar Yesterday Knockout Round – Round of 16 Morocco 0, Spain 0 – Morocco wins on PK's 3-0 Portugal 6, Switzerland 1 Morocco 0, Spain 0 – MOR PK's 3-0 – Morocco beats Spain on penalties to advance at World Cup Morocco became the first Arab nation and only the fourth African nation to advance to the World Cup quarterfinals by beating Spain 3-0 in a penalty shootout. Pablo Sarabia, Carlos Soler and Sergio Busquets missed their penalties for Spain. Sarabia hit the post and Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou stopped the other two. The teams drew 0-0 in regulation and extra time. Morocco has been the biggest surprise of the tournament and will next face either Portugal or Switzerland. Morocco and Spain are close neighbors with a complex geopolitical relationship. Portugal 6, Switzerland 1 – Ronaldo dropped, Ramos scores 3 for Portugal at World Cup Cristiano Ronaldo’s replacement scored a hat trick to lead Portugal over Switzerland 6-1 and into the World Cup quarterfinals. Goncalo Ramos is a 21-year-old forward who only made his Portugal debut last month. He made his first start for his country by demonstrating the kind of clinical finishing Ronaldo was once known for. Ramos scored the opening goal in the 17th minute and added the others in the 51st and 67th. By that time chants of “RONALDO! RONALDO!” were swirling around the 89,000-seat Lusail Stadium. Ronaldo entered as a substitute in the 72nd. Friday Quarterfinals Croatia vs. Brazil, 10:00 a.m. Netherlands vs. Argentina, 2:00 p.m. FIFA – The next World Cup will jump to 48 teams. Is bigger better? The next World Cup will be the biggest ever after world soccer body FIFA took the leap from a 32-team field to 48 teams in 2026. It means more of soccer's so-called “little teams” that didn't make it to Qatar will be given a chance-of-a-lifetime when the World Cup goes to the United States, Canada and Mexico. Great news for everyone who was entertained by Saudi Arabia's stirring underdog upset of Lionel Messi's Argentina and Morocco knocking out Spain. More surprises surely await in four years. Only it's not clear for some that bigger is better at the World Cup. FIFA – Moroccans celebrate historic World Cup win against Spain Exuberant Moroccans have poured into the streets of their capital and in cities across Europe to celebrate their national soccer team's historic win against Spain at the World Cup. Morocco defeated Spain in a penalty shootout in Qatar, making the Atlas Lions the only team from outside Europe or South America to make it to the last eight. The capital, Rabat, was bursting with joy while Morocco fans also celebrated in the streets in France and Spain. FIFA – Ronaldo a solitary figure after being benched at World Cup Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t start Portugal's game against Switzerland in the round of 16 of the World Cup. The move came a day after his coach expressed frustration about Ronaldo's attitude in the last match. Gonçalo Ramos started in Ronaldo's place at Lusail Stadium. Ronaldo showed obvious displeasure at being removed from the game against South Korea on Friday. That led to Ramos getting the start. The 21-year-old made his international debut three weeks ago, then scored a hat trick in his first career start for Portugal, which came in the World Cup as Ronaldo's replacement. Portugal beat Switzerland 6-1 to advance to the quarterfinals.Detroit Red Wings goaltender Ville Husso (35) makes a save on a shot by Tampa Bay Lightning left wing Nicholas Paul (20) during the third period of an NHL hockey game Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2022, in Tampa, Fla.

Corbin Strong has secured New Zealand's sixth track-cycling gold medal at the Commonwealth Games after producing an upset performance in the men's 15km Scratch Race. Strong, whose previous best result on the world stage was a first place in the Points Race at the 2020 Cycling World Champs, launched a bold attack with Scotland's John Archibold and Wales' William Roberts with 43 laps left to run in the race. The attack seemed to take the rest of the peloton by surprise as they failed to put together any sign of a counter-attack until it was too late. The result was that, with 10 laps to go, Strong's group lapped the main group of riders, leaving them as the sole medal contenders. It was at that stage that teammates Campbell Stewart and George Jackson mucked in to do their best to help Strong; initially giving him a chance to rest his legs somewhat in their draft, before positioning him superbly to sprint to the finish line and a gold medal. "It's a dream really, I raced really well. It's an awesome experience, I'm really happy to be at my first Commonwealth Games and for my debut race to finish like this is pretty awesome," Strong told Sky Sport following the race. Strong said his gameplan was always to be aggressive and try to push the pace of the peloton to separate himself from some of the pure sprinters in the field. "I've come off the road, I might not have as good track legs as some other people, so I really wanted to race aggressive and take it from the start and really make it a hard race. "I thought that would play into my strengths at the moment and that's the way it panned out. I was lucky to be off the front with a couple of strong guys from Wales and Scotland, so I must thank them as well." Fellow rider Stewart had nothing but praise for Strong's effort, saying it was a flawless ride. "He raced superbly. Corbin was strong, went on the attack, made the right moves and he was perfect all day and we made sure he was in the best place possible for the finish. He probably could have done it by himself, but it's always better with teammates," Stewart told Sky Sport. Jackson said he felt fortunate to be part of the race and play a role in Strong's victory, especially after being caught up in a horror crash on the velodrome earlier in the day. "Am happy I'm not too injured from the first crash. I was a lucky one out there, there was a few more boys much more banged up than me," Jackson said.

However, that remaining rider was Kristina Clonan, who set a Commonwealth Games record to claim gold by 0.06 seconds over Kelsey Mitchell, with Petch bumped to fourth. Earlier, the Kiwi men's sprinters were unable to keep up with the feats of their peers, or their rivals on the track. Callum Saunders, Sam Webster and Sam Dakin all bowed out early in the men's sprint. Saunders was the first to go, finishing 17th in the qualification round which saw him miss the cut-off by just one place, edged out by Webster who took the 16th and final spot. Webster was then quickly sent packing too by keirin gold medallist Nicholas Paul in the 1/8 finals, before Dakin, who was New Zealand's top qualifier in 10th, was beaten by 0.037 seconds by Shah Sharom to leave all the Kiwis to watch on from the sidelines for the remainder of the competition. The Kiwi trio in the 25km women's points race also missed out on the medals, despite some combative rides. Michaela Drummond, Bryony Botha and Emily Shearman all managed to take a lap on the field in the 100 lap race, but none could accumulate the extra points required in the sprints held every 10 laps to get onto the podium. Drummond was the closest, being in the mix until the final laps, but the three leaders peeled off the front in the final laps and mopped up the remaining points, with Australia's Georgia Baker winning gold on 55 points over Scotland's Neah Evans on 36, with Eluned King of Wales in third on 32 points. Drummond finished in fifth on 27 points, with Botha in eighth with 23 and Shearman ninth with 22.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

NBA – Champion Warriors celebrate fourth title in eight seasons From the moment all those months ago that Klay Thompson uttered “championship or bust,” the Golden State Warriors seemed set to make good on his lofty proclamation.It took Thompson getting healthy at last, then Draymond Green and Stephen Curry overcoming their own injuries down the stretch and a cast of youngsters shining on the big playoff stage for the Warriors to win again. Golden State captured the franchise’s fourth championship in eight years Thursday night by beating the Boston Celtics 103-90 in the clinching Game 6. NBA – Orlando still evaluating all options with No. 1 draft pick College basketball season ended almost three months ago, the NBA draft lottery was more than a month ago and the draft itself is later this week. Seems like the process should be winding down. Orlando Magic President Jeff Weltman sees it differently. He says the real work is just getting started. The Magic haven’t decided yet what they’ll do on Thursday night when the draft rolls around and they have the No. 1 pick. Other teams have called to gauge what the asking price would be if they want to trade for that selection. NBA – Magic-Rockets, Pistons-Blazers to open Vegas summer league NBA Summer League will start with a little Midnight Madness feel, at least in some of the country. And if the Orlando Magic keep the No. 1 draft pick, then that player won’t wait long for his summer debut. The league released the 75-game summer league schedule on Monday, with the first game in Las Vegas set to pit Orlando against Houston on July 7 at 10 p.m. Eastern. That game will be followed by a midnight Eastern tip-off between Portland and Detroit. Those two matchups are the only ones on the Day 1 schedule. All teams play five games in Vegas. The championship is July 17. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Tonight Chicago Sky at Las Vegas Aces, 10:00 p.m. WNBA – Wife of WNBA’s Griner tells AP scheduled call never happened WNBA star Brittney Griner tried to call her wife nearly a dozen times through the American embassy in Russia on the couple’s fourth anniversary Saturday, but they never connected since the phone line at the embassy was not staffed. That’s according to Cherelle Griner, who tells the Associated Press that the couple has not spoken by phone in the four months since Griner’s arrest in Russia on drug-related charges. That was to have changed Saturday, when a long-awaited call was to have finally taken place. But the day came and went without any contact, leaving an anguished Cherelle Griner to wonder what went wrong. FINA – Ledecky leads 1-2 American finish; Italian sets backstroke mark Italy’s Thomas Ceccon has set a world record in the men’s 100 backstroke and Katie Ledecky has claimed yet another gold at the swimming world championships in Budapest. Ceccon stunned the competition by clocking 51.60 seconds to shave 0.15 seconds off the previous best mark set by American Ryan Murphy at the 2016 Olympics. It’s the Italian’s first world title. Ledecky extended her record haul of titles to 17 with her fourth in the 1,500 freestyle alone. Ledecky never looked threatened and finished 14.74 seconds ahead of Katie Grimes. Ledecky punched the water in delight then embraced her teammate. NCAAMBKB – Basketball player at Houston Baptist killed in New York shooting New York City police say a college basketball player was killed and eight other people were wounded Monday in an early-morning shooting at a gathering in Harlem. Officials at Houston Baptist University say 21-year-old senior Darius Lee was killed. The wounded included six males and two females. Officers responded around 12:40 a.m. to reports of a shooting on a footpath along FDR Drive and found several people wounded. Other victims went to hospitals on their own.

The squirrel appeared to enter from along the stands on the third base side. He then scampered into the left field corner. Three members of the grounds crew were able to coax the critter into exiting the field through the bullpen gate. The squirrel brought the home team good luck as the Pirates went on to score three runs in the inning to break a scoreless tie.

Brady Tkachuk is the 10th captain in history. Sens give up five goals in every game of a 4 game losing slide. After 4 straight years of missing the playoffs, surely the grace period of a rebuild must be over now. We review of the last 2 games as DJ splits up Chabot and Zub.

My guest today is Nicholas Paul Brysiewicz, the director of development of the Long Now Foundation in San Francisco, CA. The Foundation was created to foster long-term thinking, and in this conversation, Nick and I talk about how a broader time perspective can help us understand difficult times and lay the groundwork for a better future. A note about context: We recorded this conversation in early March of 2020, before the coronavirus had been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. government. I'm certain our tone would've been more somber if we were talking about this subject closer to the date of publication. Still, I find that adopting a broader perspective helps me make more level-headed decisions, especially during difficult times. Finally, please heed the advice of medical experts and avoid social places like The Interval for the time being.

Jorge: So, for folks who might not be familiar with you, can you please introduce yourself? Nicholas: Yeah. My name is Nicholas Paul Brysiewicz, and I am the director of development of The Long Now Foundation, which is a nonprofit here in San Francisco, California, that is trying to help people think and practice long-term thinking. So, trying to get people to think on the order of the next and last 10,000 years. So, in today's ever accelerating culture, we think that a counterbalancing force of the long view has really never been more important, and we're exploring all the different ways that we can help people think on these longer timescales. So, we have a variety of projects that range from a large monument scale clock, mechanical clock, being constructed and installed inside of a mountain in West Texas that we've been working on for the last 25 years, and it's still under construction. It'll probably open in my lifetime. Then we've got projects where we're archiving human language and landing some of these archives on the moon, or on a comet. Two years ago, we landed an archive on comet 67 P. We've had a hand in the de-extinction of the wooly mammoth, and we have a long-term betting platform and an award-winning cocktail bar, a monthly lecture series, and a bunch of other things too. So, we're really trying everything we can to get the conversation steered in the direction of longer timescales, paying attention to the longer arcs of things. Jorge: What is your role in the Foundation, specifically? What do you do there? Nicholas: So, the Long Now Foundation has four directors right now, and I'm the Director of Development, which means, in the near-term, a lot of the work that I'm doing is handling a lot of the administration around fundraising and also working on a lot of community-building. And so, I'm really trying to find the people in the ideas that really matter for continuing a Long Now Foundation beyond this first 25 years and into the next generation as well, and kind of beyond that. So kind of looking at what that next 25 years is going to need from an organization like the Long Now Foundation, who we should be hearing from, who we should be asking for their perspective and their ideas to come into the seminar series, but then just enter the community and have conversations with us at The Interval or elsewhere. And then of course, again, in a small organization like the Long Now Foundation, you wear a lot of hats and so, as much as we have a big cultural footprint, the Long Now Foundation has something like eight full-time employees, some part-time employees, and a whole lot of volunteers. So, it's pretty small organization. We do a lot of different things. Jorge: You made a passing reference to The Interval, and I just wanted to clarify for folks who might not be familiar with it, it's a fabulous bar that doubles as the headquarters of the Foundation. Or is it the other way? Nicholas: I think the other way around. It was the headquarters, and then later on we realized that we could turn it into a gathering space and a public space for people to talk and think about the long-term. And then the cocktails showed up, and then talking about the long-term got even more interesting. And it's been open as The Interval, which is an award-winning cocktail bar. You know, graces top-10 lists every year, and it's been open since 2014. Jorge: We are recording this at a time when there are lots of stories in the news that are urgent and critical. In particular, there's the outbreak of the coronavirus that's going on right now. And I went today to my local drugstore and I try to get hand sanitizer, and of course they were sold out. I'm telling the story because I'm thinking, in a time when we get so much information from our news sources that forces us to think kind of short-term, how does an organization like the Long Now encourage or help people make the bridge to thinking about something like a 10,000 year time span, which is well beyond the lifespan of any one human being? Nicholas: Yeah. So, there's a couple of different places we could take that question. I think on the one hand, you know, speaking specifically to something like this coronavirus epidemic that we're in the middle of, I think when you think multi-generationally about something like this, you start thinking about institutional development and how can we build and steward institutions that could serve us well for these kinds of circumstances in the future. So, in America we have institutions like the CDC. We have things like the WHO. These organizations that have been set up for situations like this. And I think that's kind of the Long Now play on something like the immediacy of this particular moment is, what can we do to make sure things like this epidemic aren't isolated incidents? We should expect lots more of this in the next 10,000 years, and addressing something at that scale isn't going to be the kind of thing that we're going to be able to do inside of one human lifetime. The odds of Elon Musk coming along and just solving epidemics for us, so we never have to worry about it ever again, it's pretty slim. It's much more likely that this is an ongoing perennial issue that human beings deal with and have to face. And so, the question is, sure, we can go and clean the local bodega out of hand sanitizer and that might solve the problem today. But that's addressing a certain symptom of a larger issue, which is, do we have the institutions, the infrastructure, that will allow us to weather these kinds of things as they come along? Which they will, you know. Again, this isn't going to be the last epidemic that we face. Probably not the last epidemic we face even in my lifetime, right? So, are there ways that we can pick our heads up from this one situation and look at the more general, more open space around, when this is going to happen again, and can we do things to attend to that? So, in a certain sense, this is always a long-term thinking has been about. You know, it's been saving some of your corn for seed corn. And the whole idea of agriculture and civilization is built on this idea of doing things for tomorrow, making sure that tomorrow, things are a little bit better than they are today. So, we feel unprepared in this moment. If a lot of the news is around our lack of resources, lack of infrastructure, lack of ability to handle something like this, that can be both a reason to panic and get more focused on the now and go stock up on toilet paper and hand sanitizer and canned beans, and it's also a moment to reflect on, “Okay, what are we doing right now and how do we be allocate resources in a way that means that we're not in this position, or maybe our children aren't in the same position? How can we do this a little better next time?” Jorge: So what I'm hearing you say there is that there is a kind of near-term need for us to address the problem as it's coming to us, but even as we do that, we're on the hook to build the institutions and governance processes that will help address those needs in the long-term, knowing that they're coming down the pipeline. Is that right? Nicholas: Yeah. It's like a mixed strategy, right? You don't have to 100% be concerned about today or 100% be concerned about the next 10,000 years. But there's almost like… You can think of it as, there's a tithing opportunity to take some small fraction of your attention and apply it to the long-term. And I think if you're constantly taking some part of your attention and you're focused on things beyond your lifetime, then these things will come together in a way that they aren't right now. Jorge: We're discussing about the effect of something like the coronavirus. And we learn about things like that through the news, which has all the incentives in place to have a very kind of near-term focus. And even, even in my lifetime, I've seen things like the cable networks come up, where they're incentivized to keep us tuned in. So, there's constantly a need to bring stuff to our attention. Right? And it has this flattening effect, where everything becomes… There's a growing degree of urgency to pretty much everything. And it's not to diminish the importance of this virus, but my sense is that so much of how I learn about what's going on in the world happens through this medium that is incentivized to focus more on the short-term than on that longer-term perspective. And I'm wondering if there are ways for us to become more long-term infovores, if there's such a thing. Nicholas: Yeah, that's a really good question. I think that's kind of a role that's not… Like you said, the news is really incentivized to be addressing things in the here and now, but there's always a context around every news story, right? And then really good journalistic outlets help supply that for people, right? People that aren't familiar with the history of epidemics and the history of these institutions, or even the history of things like the coronavirus. There's always really good reporting that provides more of the broad narrative around it. And so, I think for us, the larger infovore thing ends up looking like kind of a self-education for people actually seeking out. You know, they're doing their own research, reading books on these topics, that's usually not going to be provided by the news. So, it's kind of like an educational piece. And of course, some people understand how to do research and know where to go, looking for good information on these kinds of things that'll help round out their narrative, and I think for other people, they need more guidance, they could use more help. And I think the news, when it's doing what it does best, it's informing those people who aren't otherwise going to go hit the library or go hit a bunch of medical journals to do their own research and homework, that's going to kind of help provide that information to them. Jorge: I'm wondering if there are any sources for such information… Are there any that you find useful to broaden your time perspective when looking at a story like this one. Nicholas: With coronavirus, I don't know. I mean, I'm certainly far from being an expert in the area, and because I'm so un-expert at this area, I really just relied on other people to kind of digest and provide me with information. I'm really lucky in San Francisco, I've got a really great group of really smart people who know their stuff in this department that have been amazing to talk with and discuss for this kind of stuff. So, I have more of a social library of humans that I lean on for things like this, like coronavirus. I'm going to get a lot of my information from folks who are experts in this space. For me, you know, another kind of contemporary topic that I can provide a better answer for, is when we, in the beginning of January, when the U.S. and Iran had all that tension around Soleimani. For me, that was an impetus for me to finally pick up Herodotus, which for anybody who's not familiar with what the impetus for that piece of literature was, it was basically to figure out the origins of the tensions between the Persian empire in the West. Right? So, this kind of tension that was flaring up in the news in January, 2020 is going back thousands of years. Right? And even in Herodotus's day, you know, he was one, two generations after the people that fought in the Greco-Persian Wars. And he was talking with these folks who were kind of like our grandparents' age, you know, they were kind of sunsetting their lifetimes, and had direct experience in some of those ancient, legendary battles. And he was trying to just understand exactly where this tension began. And so, I kind of took that as an excuse for, “Okay, I could spend a bunch of hours listening to NPR and going and doing my own homework on this contemporary idea, but the roots of this thing go back so far, and there's this text that's been around for thousands of years, Herodotus's Histories. It's a great time to pick it up and check it out. And so, I enrolled in an online class on Herodotus and picked up a copy of The Landmark Herodotus, which is the copy I recommend anybody check out. And you know, that's, I think, one way to compliment the immediate narrative in the news with something that goes back a little further. These things generally don't come out of nowhere. There's a history and a context, and if you know what to suss out, where to seek it out, you know, it's out there. Jorge: What did you learn from Herodotus about our current moment? Nicholas: That basically nobody knows who started it. Like even going back there, the Greeks thought the Persians kicked it off by stealing a woman, carrying her across a large body of water. And the Persians thought the same about the Greeks, and they couldn't get a straight story as he traveled around the three continents at the time, right. Which was a Europe, Asia, and Libya. As he traveled around those three continents and talked to people, these were the two competing stories. And even back then, there was this fake news concept of, “No, the other person's, the other out-group's narrative is just, kind of a disingenuous framing of the actual truth.” And so, people were either, you know, they were competing on narratives back then. It just seems like it's one of those things that's just been around forever, this tension. And it's always been this other-izing thing, and it usually explodes into these very violent battles. People end up dying, and the common people sitting on the sidelines kind of get screwed. Jorge: Sounds recognizable, right? Like that pattern still plays out. Nicholas: Yeah. It's amazing what doesn't change across thousands of years. Jorge: You know, one thing that you're making me think of by talking about Herodotus is this idea that books that have stood the test of time have stood the test of time because they say something that speaks to people across generations. Nicholas: Hmm, in an unbroken line. Jorge: In an unbroken line, right? Like, Herodotus has been read kind of continuously since it was written, which is like 400 and something before the common era, right? Nicholas: Hmm. Jorge: So that means that there must be some kind of insights, or it must speak to the human condition in a way that manages to remain relevant, even when more superficial things change over time. First of all, I want to kind of bounce that idea off you and just reflected whether the longevity of a text is somehow a testament to its usefulness. Nicholas: Okay. Yeah, I do think it is. I think what's interesting, given the context of this conversation that you and I are having, it's kind of framed around information, right? And information theory is like… There's a temptation for us moderns to think of the texts like Herodotus's Histories as maybe having better, higher quality information. That somehow it's a container with some really good stuff in it. And that's both sort of true and I think possibly not the whole or the most important truth about these kinds of books. I think spending, you know, God, what, probably a dozen or two dozen hours with a book like Herodotus's Histories, it puts like training wheels on your perception, and helps you start seeing the world in a very particular way. You kind of step into Herodotus's shoes and step into his perspective on things, you know, from the time that he's in and you're taking up his mission as your own, as you kind of follow him along, as he's kind of trying to figure this thing out and trying to describe the world to you. And so, what it does is it trains you to see the world in a particular way, and that perception is valuable. I think once you experience what it's like to see the world that way, you realize, “Oh, this is really awesome. We can't let this thing disappear.” You know? So people pick it up and decide to translate it, or they decide to teach a course on it, or they decide to do a new version of it with maps and additional things, or, you know, or just like me, they read it and then they talk to their friends about it and suggest that other people find the time to finally get around to this really awesome text. And so, I think it's a perceptive thing. It's less that it's going to give you some kind of life hack that's going to change things for you. You know, it's not cheat codes for living in 2020, but what it is, is a very unique perspective that if you take the time to put it on, you can kind of start to adopt. And now you have this other perspective available to you to look at things. Now you can go back to the news, you go back to NPR, you go back to whatever your news source is, and now you see it with a new set of eyes, ones that are informed by this person who is trying to help you see something thousands of years ago. And that's a bit of a trip. And I think for me it provides more context, it helps me care more about different things that I hear. So, my filters are a little bit different. And I think overall it just means I'm more nutritively digesting the information that's coming to me from 2020. You know, you hear about like certain nutrients are more bioavailable than others, right? You can be eating the same thing, but the bioavailability is going to limit what you're actually able to do with it. And I think things like Herodotus makes certain information bioavailable, if I can press that metaphor that far, you know. You can get more out of it. Jorge: In hearing you describe this, I'm imagining it as a sort of virtual reality experience where you're getting to inhabit the mind of somebody, obviously a very smart person, from that culture and time. It's kind of an invitation to inhabit their mind for a little while. And as with some virtual reality experiences, you come out the other end somehow transformed. Nicholas: Yeah. I think literature of this type is totally the first virtual reality experience, right? That's why storytelling is so captivating. You know, you get to inhabit a whole other world. You get to have other friends. You know, I don't know if you've ever felt sad closing a book of fiction because you're, you've kind of had your last conversation with these characters, you know? But that's a real feeling that I think the people that read a lot are familiar with. Jorge: Are there any other books you can point us to that have had that effect, especially as they help us navigate and understand the current moment? Nicholas: Yeah. One in particular was a project that I undertook last winter, was reading Plato's Republic and looking for various blockchain projects. So, all these different governance models were coming out. This is like in the heat of the blockchain stuff. And everybody who I was talking to had a different idea for how to just basically govern a commons, govern a resource pool. “Here's how we're going to do it. This is why it's novel. This is why what we're doing is different than everybody else. And here's why it's better.” And I was rereading Republic, and on almost every page there's some stab at how you would do governance. And then of course, the arguments forward against it and all that stuff. And I think it would just be very instructive if a lot of the folks working on these governance problems would go back to the classical literature on some of these topics about governing the commons. You know, there's been a lot of thought on it, which is, I think, for us moderns, we're always tempted to think that everything that came before science is somehow outdated or it's been superseded or supplanted by new modern thinking. And of course, in some areas that's totally true, right? You don't need to go read a book on how people are suffering from unbalanced humors or something. You know, if you're a medical student, you don't need to go back there for that particular model of how the body works. But there's so much rich thought. And these are people that weren't distracted by Facebook notifications, they weren't distracted by billboards or the football game on at the restaurant. These are people that had unbroken large swaths of time to do nothing but think, nothing but meditate, nothing but walk, nothing but ponder. And you know, obviously most of them are written by economically independent people who were not working day jobs either. So, you've got texts that were written by people who had more focused time to think about these topics, than you and I will ever have in our lifetime. And just because they didn't have, say, the scientific method in the form that we recognize it now, or they didn't have electricity or something, doesn't mean that the thoughts they were thinking on things like governance, philosophy, politics more broadly, it doesn't mean that those thoughts are not useful or outdated or outmoded. A lot of it can be really, really instructive and interesting. And then the challenge is, of course, to grapple with it, right? It's both relevant and informative and probably in some places totally outdated and needs to be updated. That's our challenge, right? Us people here in 2020, we're supposed to read these things and then engage in that conversation if we have something interesting to say to Herodotus or Plato. Jorge: I'm trying to place myself in the position of a listener who maybe is busy with work and they have family duties and they want some entertainment in their lives. So, they might want to watch some TV or go to the movies. And reading something like Herodotus — which, by the way, I need to say, I read Herodotus some years ago, so I've gone through this experience — and it took a while. It's not a text that you dive into casually. It's kind of a project. And I'm wondering how these texts that have stood the test of time, as we were saying earlier, how they can be made more palatable, or how this experience that you're describing can be raised to the level of importance that would merit somebody spending the sort of time that it takes and the effort that it takes to go through one of them. Nicholas: Well, I think this is the role of these intermediaries: teachers, translators, people that are editing new texts or new works around these things. For me, my Virgil through the entire Herodotus experience is a woman named Elizabeth Vandiver, who taught for the Great Courses series, and she does a Great Courses course on Herodotus. I think it was 12 hours of lectures on the text going section by section and walking you through exactly what you should be paying attention to and what seems peripheral but isn't. So, you need to pay attention to what's peripheral in his peripheral. And she kind of walks you and guides you through it. And then the copy of the book that I purchased, The Landmark Herodotus, is appended with a bunch of maps, other diagrams, and other things to help you understand what's going on. So, these intermediaries have done the hard work of digesting just the raw textual work in the original language, they pulled it into language that you and I speak. And in the case of Elizabeth Vandiver, she's rhetorically presenting it in front of a class, in a lecture format, which is useful for some people. You don't even need to have a copy of the book; you can just enjoy this lecture on this book. And then when you have some big Landmark copy, you can go through and look at the maps and you can trace his routes through Egypt and get a sense for exactly what's going on. So, if you're more of a visual learner, or if you're somebody who just kind of gets lost in all this conversation about where he's going or something, or all these different, you know… The accounting of all the different battleships or something. This just loses you and you can see it in a different way. And so, I think that's the role again of the people having the conversation with these ancient authors in modernity is like, “Okay, what is needed to make this nutritive and helpful and useful and pertinent to people today?” This is what I wish our news would do a little bit more of. It would be nice if there was somebody from a humanities department in a college somewhere commenting on things like when we're in conflict with Iran, talking about the longer arc of conflicts with just kind of providing more… I don't know. I guess more of like an umbrella of context so that people can understand where, where this fits in the larger story, right? So, it's all about this moment, but in the broader context is really kind of the idea there. You know, I think when journalism is being done really well, they're doing that, right? They're walking you through the context, letting you orient yourself in the larger story. But of course, nowadays, you get 140 characters, you get a quick update on your commute or something, you know, a ten second spot. So, it's harder now. Jorge: One that I can think of that I had a really good experience with –and it's just a different take on this idea — was an audiobook of The Odyssey read by sir Ian McKellen. And because Ian McKellen is a classically trained actor, he really made that text come alive. Right? I sometimes feel a little guilty about listening to books, but in this case, you know, those texts were originally spoken. So, I felt like it was, in some ways, almost more authentic than reading the actual text in a page. Nicholas: Yeah. An orally transmitted text on audiobook is just the appropriate format. I can see that. Jorge: And I also wanted to mention this, I had a very similar experience to what you're describing with Herodotus, with the Divine Comedy. We live in a wonderful time when you can do things like look at videos of entire semester's worth of university-level classes taught by some of the world's best instructors on these things. And I read that book while following along a set of university lectures taught by someone who was an expert on Dante. And it really made the text come alive for me and it brought home the relevance of some of the things that I was reading. I just suspect that it's not something that a lot of people are up to, the challenge of investing 30-something hours to go through a university-level course when, there's Game of Thrones beckoning or whatever it is that is on TV at the moment. Nicholas: I think in a day and age in which you could rely on other people to do this work for you, and you could just specialize and offload any responsibility you would ever have to read and understand Herodotus or Plato to somebody else. Right? This is somebody else's job. I think in a day and age when that was the case… You know, and think about it, we've had thousand-year swaths of time where that was the clergy who were worried about scholasticism and reading books and philosophy and history. But if you're a butcher, baker, candlestick maker, this isn't something you need to sweat. You know what I mean? But you also couldn't rely on the butcher, baker, candlestick maker, the citizen in a democracy, like in the same way, right? Where their opinions are being relied upon and where they're basically appointing someone. So, we end up in a certain situation where in modernity, we say things like, “Oh, well what about somebody who doesn't have the time for this stuff?” And it's like, well, that's kind of the argument is you kind of need … You do need to have time, in the same sense that we don't have time to maintain our infrastructure. We don't have time to think long-term. It's like, well, of course we have time. We all have time for things. You and I were talking before we started this conversation about just how do we get done what we get done in this lifetime? And it's like, yeah, you have to keep a really sharp hatchet, on one end. And you have to be really careful with your time and intentional with it. And if you do those things, you can get massive quantities of work done, but you just need to think about it. You need to be conscious about it. And I think the argument for people being more conscious of what they're doing is like the enlightenment argument, right? This has been an argument for hundreds of years is, things will be better if you dare to reason, if you think for yourself, if you know yourself, you know, these are older, older arguments for people being responsible for their own minds, their own ability to understand the world they're living in. So, yeah, I guess I have some sympathies for the people who are working lots of jobs and stuff, but that's where audiobooks are amazing. Because if you're driving, or if you have a commute, there's always interesting hacks and ways of getting this stuff in. Not to say that everybody's has just as easy of a time with it, you know. Some people are going to suffer and struggle more, but I think it's the thing that culture can emphasize the importance terms of it, because we are in this golden age where we have access to so much, it's so cool. And if you know it, it's like you have this crazy superpower. You can go onto YouTube and learn how to repair anything in your house. If something breaks, it's like, go on to YouTube, somebody else probably broke it, probably figured out how to fix it for like a dollar, you don't have to throw this thing away. It's like, that's amazing. We have an entire. Informational infrastructure, like there's a rhizome of things out there. It's like it's just there. It's free. You just open it up. But it takes, it takes time and it takes attention, and that's the scarce resource for a lot of people. Jorge: That strikes me as a great place to wrap up the conversation. So, Nick, where can folks follow up with you? Nicholas: I think the best place to follow up with me is probably just through the Long Now Foundation's website, which is longnow.org. I'm on there, if anybody wants to contact me, you can find all my contact info there as well. But then there's some more information about our organization and our projects and our public space, The Interval, in San Francisco, if anybody wants to come by for a drink. Jorge: Well, fantastic. Thank you so much for what I'm parsing as an invitation to broaden our time perspective. Nicholas: Thanks so much, Jorge. I appreciate you having me on the show.
