The latest stages have created astonishing powers for individuals, groups, and our species as a whole. We are also faced with accumulating dangers -- the capabilities to end the whole humanity experiment are growing and are ever more accessible. In light of the promethean fire that is computing, we must prevent bad outcomes and lock in good ones to build robust foundations for our knowledge, and a safe future. There is much we can do in the short-term to secure the long-term." "I come from the front lines of computing platform design to share a number of new super-powers at our disposal, some old challenges that are now soluble, and some new open problems. In this next decade, we’ll need to leverage peer-to-peer networks, crypto-economics, blockchains, Open Source, Open Services, decentralization, incentive-structure engineering, and so much more to ensure short-term safety and the long-term flourishing of humanity.” Juan Benet is the inventor of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS)---a new protocol which uses content-addressing to make the web faster, safer, and more open—and the creator of Filecoin, a cryptocurrency-incentivized storage market. "Long Term Info-structure" was given on August 06, 02018 as part of Long Now's Seminar series. The series was started in 02003 to build a compelling body of ideas about long-term thinking from some of the world's leading thinkers. The Seminars take place in San Francisco and are curated and hosted by Stewart Brand.

Reality is a strange loop and you don’t know it.

Concepts: Sketch, Note, Draw

concept (n.)"a general notion, the immediate object of a thought," 1550s, from Medieval Latin conceptum "draft, abstract," in classical Latin "(a thing) conceived," from concep-, past-participle stem of concipere "to take in and hold

conceit (n.)late 14c., "a thought, a notion, that which is mentally conceived," from conceiven (see conceive) based on analogy of deceit/deceive and receipt/receive.

In contrast, a write-ahead log provides a limited history of recent changes which is retained only until the whole system state can be reliably persisted - meanwhile, the application logic is not expected to change.

Another way to think about it: a write-ahead log is a component of the database engine, but event-sourcing will often manifest as one or more *tables* in said database.

the alien is real but it is within us it can only communicate information and that 00:43:53 information has to be made real in this world by human coders

the alien is already within us but we must 00:44:42 model it we must call it fourth into a dimension of potential dialogue and I think that ultimately this is what 00:44:55 high-tech Society can bring to the shamanic equation

the alien is a creature of pure information 00:42:47 it's purely information it's non-local it comes out of the Bell non-locality part of the universe that exists distributed through hyperspace the alien 00:43:00 is real but it is only made of information and therefore the only dimension in which it can be encountered 00:43:12 is a dimension of pure information fortunately we are building a dimension of pure information providentially we have named it the net

it will 01:02:04 lead us to be a symbiotic species if we if we put the pedal to the metal that for people like yourselves who I assume to be no matter how you finagled your way in here this afternoon part of the 01:02:18 upper three percent of the ruling Elite on this planet there is a real obligation to use privilege to uh communicate and to make art I think this 01:02:31 is what is the good life has any purpose other than to drink beer and watch TV it's to produce art this is how you make a payback into the community and already 01:02:43 ambiguous your art may say things to people other than yourself that it would never say to you but that's how we make the community richer that's how we enlarge the dimensions of the human soul 01:02:57 by by making ours

if you're looking for the thumbprint of 01:01:39 almighty God on the biological organization of this planet it is human language it is a miracle

language needs to evolve toward the visual and that's why I'm very keen for technically against prosthetic environments where every time 01:00:18 you say the word and a yellow three-dimensional triangle appears in the air every time you stay or an orange ball appears a computer is listening to what you're saying and giving a 01:00:31 geometric accompaniment to speech I think that there are forms of telepathy that we can evolve through the use of drugs and computer-assisted technologies that will allow us to see each other's 01:00:45 dreams in spite of your correct assessment that I'm Keen for the spoken word I spend all summer learning modeling and three-dimensional animation programs from my son 01:00:58 because I want to animate I want to model I see things on my trips that I have never been able to English but that if I were a fully competent modeler and animator I would just say 01:01:13 check it out and I'm going to do that and and I urge you to do that I mean it's a funny thing to be told you want to spiritually Advance the study 01:01:25 3D animation but these are the frontiers of communication we have an obligation to make our language more immediate it is the most Godlike thing we do if you're looking for the thumbprint of 01:01:39 almighty God on the biological organization of this planet it is human language it is a miracle I don't give a hood what the Dolphins and the honeybees are out there in the woods doing it 01:01:51 ain't like Milton it ain't even like Bob Dylan it ain't even as good as this I'm willing to say uh no human human communication is what

he robots who preach 00:54:19 his freedom

a commitment to community and a model of to the 00:53:46 future without fear without fear thank you very much

selling the future as an aid alarm fire which is how the media does it uh only 00:52:00 makes the same future impossible

hearing optimistic and reasonable rhetoric about the future selling the future as an aid alarm fire which is how the media does it uh only 00:52:00 makes the same future impossible so we need a responsible approach to thinking about the future and it means taking personal responsibility for your 00:52:14 drug taking for the ideas the means that you push into society and for the images that we share among ourselves

so liberate yourself from the illusion of culture take responsibility for what you think

inform yourself what does inform yourself mean it means a transcends and mistrusts ideology go for direct experience what do you think when 00:50:40 you face the waterfall what do you think when you have sex what do you think when you take psilocybin everything else is unconfirmable rumor useless probably lies

deal with the raw data and trust yourself nobody is smarter than you are

nobody understands what is happening

political implication is a personal one

destined to become mental creatures

promising presence of this intelligent others which beckons us out of history and says you know the Galaxy lies waving a galaxy of 00:48:12 galaxies lie waiting lose the encumbrances of three-dimensional space return with the word to its higher and 00:48:24 hidden source and at that point you will discover the alchemical uh uh uh paracletes will be given unto you the 00:48:37 alchemical dispensation will be given and as James Joyce said man will be dirigible

Midwife thing the burst of an entirely 00:47:07 new not species but order of biological and intelligence in existence the human machine symbiote 00:47:20 is upon

using our flesh and our thoughts to bootstrap itself to higher and higher levels

we are not what we thought we were the the monkey flesh is penetrated by something 00:46:00 dare I say it divine

we would realize we are not 00:44:17 inventing this we are discovering

there is an alien we are in the cultural process of 00:41:38 meeting this alien but they do not come in Thousand ton beryllium ships from the nebul ganubi to trade high technology for human people tissue and that's if you that's an intelligence 00:41:53 test folks uh that's not how it works uh our own hysteria makes it very difficult for us to deal with the presence of the alien and the alien knows that that's 00:42:08 why it has disguised itself as a psychedelic experience

true resistor of 00:41:02 the alien penetration of human civilization because I just saw no evidence

nature has always operated as an integrated system of communication

it's that way because our cultural tradition is one of reductionism tear things apart break them into their 00:39:57 subordinate units break those into still smaller units well when you have a theory of reality like that what you end up with is all the pieces spread out and 00:40:08 no car and nowhere to go

the internet is the beginning of a nervous system that is missing not 00:39:20 only all human beings but all life together all information together

everywhere or nowhere the point is

descending 00:38:04 now into a well of novelty such that more change is now occurring in a single human lifetime than incurred in the previous ten thousand years of human 00:38:16 history we are approaching at a faster and faster rate something Unthinkable something which is sculpting Us in its image something which shamans have always 00:38:30 known was there

the uh acceleration into novelty is rewriting the rules now every 18 months

caught in a basin of attraction to use a mathematical term in other words we are 00:37:22 under the influence of something which is pulling us into the future or into novelty if you want to put it that way at a faster and faster rate

acceleration of change

they stayed potheads can't see

process of complexification is occurring faster and faster

measure 00:34:34 it against your own experience

ten years ago there was no internet 18 months ago there was no Java things are complexifying intensifying moving together this is the universal drama 00:34:21 that is reaching culmination in our lifetimes

the law of increasing complexity have gotten more complicated through time

their experience has very little congruency with your own

psychedelics address they address US uniquely as individuals

any change in any system 00:31:41 that you can think of is always ultimately traceable to one unit in the system undergoing a phase State change of some sort no group there are no group 00:31:56 decisions those things come later the genius of creativity and of initiation of activity always lies with the individual

we need to celebrate is the individual

he reality of the individual identity

gross simplifications betray Humanity betray uniqueness make same politics impossible

culture is not your friend

if you can make people think alike they 00:29:09 will buy a life they will worship a light and if you know politics demands it they will kill a lie

the truth is that you are not created equal with yourself from day to day 00:28:28 leave alone any comparison with anybody else

cultural myths are that we are all alike we Americans each created equal 00:28:05 I mean if you can believe that at an operational level then I have some breaches I would like to sell you

find the others

we're cutting the Earth from beneath our own feet we're poisoning the atmosphere that we breathe this is not intelligent Behavior this is 00:24:31 a culture with a bug

a more tolerant operating system or its plug-in supports special effects denied the positivist

Network AnonymityISPs have the ability to use network activity to discover a user’s friends, whether throughIPFS or direct peer-to-peer. For some users who desire stronger anonymity, this wouldbe undesirable.
