Learn Anything SG - Our 4th Chat : The Long Now
How long is "long ago"? And how long have we been here?
For our fourth gathering, we're doing something a little different: an interactive visual journey through human history that will completely reshape how you think about civilization.
We'll look at moments frozen in images - ancient artifacts, forgotten milestones, and surprisingly recent innovations - and together we'll pool our collective knowledge to place them in time.
The goal isn't to get it "right" but to test our intuitions against the facts, discover the gaps in how we think about history, and learn from each other's perspectives.
By the end, hopefully we'll see writing, cities, nations, and technology in a whole new light. (Spoiler: Nearly everything you think of as "ancient" is shockingly recent in perspective)

๐ฏ What to Expect
This is part collective inquiry, part historical exploration. We'll move through images of human achievement together - some famous, others more obscure, all surprising - comparing our intuitions and guesses on where & when and uncovering the real story behind each moment.
Whether you're a history enthusiast, someone who loves testing your sense of time, or just curious about the human journey - this one's for you.
โจ What To Bring
- Your curiosity (essential)
- Your best guesses and intuitions (no expertise needed)
- A readiness to feel awed by the extraordinary arc from cave paintings to AI generated singing cats
Come ready to wonder. Leave with a new way of seeing humanity's journey.
