Historian vs. Futurist - audio now available
Posted by Tim Stevens on 13 May 2008
After my recent post, Zenpundit’s subsequent comments and his discussion with Younghusband on the issue, the .mp3 of the Long Now Foundation debate between Niall Ferguson and Peter Schwartz is now available.
In what turned out to be a riveting evening, historian Niall Ferguson and futurist Peter Schwartz fire-hosed each other with enough ideas, frames of reference, ripostes, and eloquences to lead to a clear conceptual divergence. At the same time, the two were discovering, live in front of an audience, new ways they might work together on future projects.
I look forward to listening in.
