Hijacked Histories, Polarized Futures

Hijacked Histories, Polarized Futures

Abby Smith Rumsey

Tuesday October 10, 7pm
Check-in starts at 6pm

As authoritarianism continues to rise around the world, the stories we tell ourselves about our collective history become a battleground for competing visions of the future. Drawing extensively from Russian history in the 20th century, Rumsey offers a framework to discuss our current social and political tensions and how our increasing polarization could shape our future.

Tickets typically go on sale to Long Now members two weeks in advance and then to the public. Most talks sell out quickly due to our small capacity. "Patron tickets" are usually available after other tickets sell out. They include a reserved seat and are partially tax deductible.

Talk begins at 7pm; we recommend arriving earlier for more seating options. The Interval reopens to the public by 8:30pm. (All times are in Pacific Time)

A live videostream of most talks is available. Each talk is free for Long Now members at http://longnow.org/live
