Palladium Podcast 29: Nicholas Paul Brysiewicz on Pandemic Reflections

My guest today is Nicholas Paul Brysiewicz, the director of development of the Long Now Foundation in San Francisco, CA. The Foundation was created to foster long-term thinking, and in this conversation, Nick and I talk about how a broader time perspective can help us understand difficult times and lay the groundwork for a better future.A note about context: We recorded this conversation in early March of 2020, before the coronavirus had been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. government. I’m certain our tone would’ve been more somber if we were talking about this subject closer to the date of publication. Still, I find that adopting a broader perspective helps me make more level-headed decisions, especially during difficult times. Finally, please heed the advice of medical experts and avoid social places like The Interval for the time being.Listen to the full conversation Show notesThe Long Now FoundationThe 10,000 Year ClockThe Rosetta ProjectRevive &amp; RestoreLong BetsThe Interval, San Francisco, CASeminars About Long-term ThinkingU.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)World Health Organization (WHO)Elon MuskQasem SoleimaniHerodotusThe Greco-Persian WarsThe Landmark Herodotus: The HistoriesThe Republic of Plato, translated by Allan BloomProfessor Elizabeth Vandiver, Ph.D.The Great Courses Herodotus: The Father of HistoryIan McKellenThe Odyssey audiobook, narrated by Ian McKellenGame of ThronesSome show notes may include Amazon affiliate links.
