Dr. Laura Welcher, Long Now's Director of Operations and the Long Now Library, discusses one of the longest lived human systems : language. While language has been with us for very long time, it is an evolving and changing system. Welcher points out the drastic difference between preserving information vs. preserving meaning.
From the Long Now special event, "Long Lived Institutions" (February 15, 02019).
About the event:
It was acknowledged at the inception of Long Now that while designing and building a mechanical device to last 10,000 years would involve difficult engineering, designing the institution to last along side it was the truly challenging project. In February, we held a small charrette at The Interval to broaden our thinking about building long-lived institutions. The group consisted of Long Now staff, board members, and outside experts.
