Seminars About Long-term Thinking
http://longnow.org/seminars/02010/apr/01/six-easy-steps-avert-collapse-civilization/
David Eagleman presents:
Six Easy Steps to Avert the Collapse of Civilization
David Eagleman may be the best combination of scientist and fiction-writer alive. Sum, his collection of afterlife alternatives, made a stunning literary debut last year and now appears in 21 languages. Simultaneously he is a neuroscientist at Baylor College of Medicine, specializing in time perception.
In this talk he spells out how to save the world.
The Long Now Foundation's monthly Seminars were started in 02003 to build a compelling body of ideas about long-term thinking; to help nudge civilization toward our goal of making long-term thinking automatic and common instead of difficult and rare.
Seminar hosted by Stewart Brand.

Sounds fabulous, wish I could make it. Hopefully he'll explore the value of having authentic experiences i.e. observing nature, gardening, meaningful connections with people and animals. The way our ancesters lived that must be in our collective unconscious if we could unshackle ourselves from the media, consumerism and addictive technology.
