The Long Conversation 02020
Details
Join members of the Long Now Board and invited speakers for a virtual Long Conversation to reflect on the current moment, how it fits into our deeper future, and how we can address threats to civilization that are rare but ultimately predictable.
The Long Conversation is a relay conversation of 20 minute one-to-one conversations; each speaker has an un-scripted conversation with the speaker before them, and then speaks with the next participant before they themselves rotate off. This relay conversation format was first presented under the auspices of Artangel in London at a Longplayer performance in 02009.
Starting at 20:00 hrs CET (11:00 in SF), this event is a rare one taking place in a timeframe that is accessible for those of us in Europe and related longitudes. It would therefore be great if as many of us as possible watched the stream, both to widen the conversation and to establish the interest in the Long Now in the EMEA region.
Do please RSVP here if you intend to "attend" the stream (or whatever the correct terminology might be!).
The discussion will be shared online via the following Long Now channels...
