Long Zoom for Long Now

This Friday at 6:30 I'm going to be giving one of the Seminars About Long Term Thinking for the Long Now Foundation. The event will be at the Cowell Theater at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco. I'm really excited about this, since a number of my friends and heroes created The Long Now originally, and because I'm going to be talking about some of the ideas in the new book for the first time in public. If you're in the Bay Area, try to come by... [Updated: note that the talk is now scheduled to start at 6:30.]

awesome talk so far

I've got to split soon, but wanted to thank you for a powerfully integrative view -- resonant with my Aikido-meme-centric ontology and evolving mobilization strategy (see essays on website at www.well.com/~rb ... contact me if you are interested in chatting about this. i'll buy you lunch or such) reed

Steven,

I had never heard of you or your work until Stewart's announcement but love the Long Now lecture series....something about your lecture...I think "connectivity" got me...caught my eye. So I went and am VERY glad I did....my own work - which includes a more superficial understanding of multiple fields - includes system thinking so many things you say last night resonated deeply with me...my 'take home value' evaluator is still processing just how useful this all will be but I wanted to thank you for coming to S.F. and making yourself available to us/me. It was stimulating, provocative and a great learning experience for all three of us.

Thanks you,

John

Steve, I forgot to ask a question in my recent post about last night: you asked why old ideas stick around...I'd be VERY interested in your take on this.

The current masculine dominated, scarcity and separateness focused and redunctionist worldview seems to be driving us into some undesired dirctions for long-term thinkers yet it persists and resists most attempts to shift into a paradigm of interconnectedness and holism. Why do YOU think this is?

Thanks again for last night,

John

I just finished listening to your lecture to the long now foundation and you had mentioned someone who had studied, or written about, how moral decisions take longer and "take place in the body". Could you tell me that person's name and some papers/books where he takes that position?

Thanks in advance!

    The Basics

    • I'm a father of three boys, husband of one wife, and author of five books. In early 2007 I went and foolishly got myself a day job running the hyperlocal community site, outside.in that I co-founded the year before. We spend most of the year in Park Slope, Brooklyn, though I'm on the road a lot giving talks. (You can see the full story here.) Personal correspondence should go to sbj6668 at earthlink dot net. Media requests should go to Matthew.Venzon at us.penguingroup dot com. If you're interested in having me speak at an event, drop a line to Wesley Neff at the Leigh Bureau (WesN at Leighbureau dot com.)

    My Books

    • : The Ghost Map

      The Ghost Map
      The latest: the story of a terrifying outbreak of cholera in 1854 London 1854 that ended up changing the world. An idea book wrapped around a page-turner. I like to think of it as a sequel to Emergence if Emergence had been a disease thriller. You can see a trailer for the book here.

    • : Everything Bad Is Good for You: How Today's Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter

      Everything Bad Is Good for You: How Today's Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter
      The title says it all. This one sparked a slightly insane international conversation about the state of pop culture -- and particularly games. There were more than a few dissenters, but the response was more positive than I had expected. And it got me on The Daily Show, which made it all worthwhile.

    • : Mind Wide Open : Your Brain and the Neuroscience of Everyday Life

      Mind Wide Open : Your Brain and the Neuroscience of Everyday Life
      My first best-seller, and the only book I've written in which I appear as a recurring character, subjecting myself to a battery of humiliating brain scans. The last chapter on Freud and the neuroscientific model of the mind is one of my personal favorites.

    • : Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software

      Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software
      The story of bottom-up intelligence, from slime mold to Slashdot. Probably the most critically well-received all my books, and the one that has influenced the most eclectic mix of fields: political campaigns, web business models, urban planning, the war on terror.

    • : Interface Culture : How New Technology Transforms the Way We Create and Communicate

      Interface Culture : How New Technology Transforms the Way We Create and Communicate
      My first. The book I wrote instead of finishing my dissertation. Still in print almost a decade later, and still relevant, I think. But I haven't read it in a while, so who knows what's in there!
