About this Seminar:
The Smithsonian Institution is the largest museum and research complex in the world, 163 years old. Its brand-new Secretary is Wayne Clough, formerly president of Georgia Tech.

During his first year on the job, Secretary Clough toured the entire present activities, staff, and history of the far-flung Institution, with an eye to framing up its very long term future, which should embrace centuries at least. In this talk he spells out the prospects---including the long-term future of science and education.

The Seminars About Long-term Thinking were started in 02003 to build a coherent, compelling body of ideas about long-term thinking, to help nudge civilization toward Long Now's goal of making long-term thinking automatic and common instead of difficult and rare.
