SUMMARY:Long Now: A Logic For The Future
DESCRIPTION:Stephen Heintz and Kim Stanley Robinson say we live in an “Age of Turbulence.” \nLooking around our geopolitical situation\, it’s easy to see what they mean. Faced with the ever-growing threat of climate change\, the looming potential breakdown of the post-01945 international order\, and the ambiguous prospects of rapid technological changes in fields like AI\, biotechnology\, and geoengineering\, it is clear that we need new answers to new challenges. \nStephen Heintz\, a Public policy expert and president of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF)\, and Kim Stanley Robinson\, one of the most acclaimed science fiction authors writing today\, work in very different fields. But each of them in his own way has sketched out a vision of what we must do to face down the intersecting crises of our time: While their methods may differ\, they align on their conclusions. \nIn their Long Now Talk\, Heintz and Robinson propose what they refer to as A Logic For The Future — a new path for international relations in the face of the chaos of our current age. Over the course of their conversation\, Stephen and Stan drew on a wide variety of historical examples to contextualize our seemingly unprecedented geopolitical moment. In all of these case studies — from the writing of the Atlantic Charter in the darkest days of World War II to the fraught deal-making and relationship-building that allowed for the signing of the Iran Nuclear deal in 02015 — the two focused on the power of human-driven\, almost utopian visions of the future as tools for building a better world. \nNow\, in a moment of geopolitical uncertainty and internal democratic crisis\, Stephen and Stan see space for the kinds of utopian imagination and creativity that were so solely missed in prior moments of flux and chaos. Long-term thinking is key to this kind utopian thinking. In Stan’s words\, the “optimistic” possibilities of long-term thinking are not just useful in dreaming up a better future. They’re “reinvigorating in how we address the problems we face on a day-to-day basis.” \n\nRecorded live on Mar 19\, 02025 at Cowell Theater in Fort Mason Center \nMar 19th @ 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. \n2 Marina Blvd\nLandmark Building C\, Suite 260\nSan Francisco\, CA\n94123 \nEvent page at Long Now \nEvent page at Fort Mason Center \nEvent recording (YouTube) \nEvent recording (mp3 direct link) \nEvent recording (Spotify)
