   Nassim Taleb's THE BLACK SWAN: The Impact of the Highly Improbable is
   one of those books that changes how people think and act about
   important matters.

   Tonight Taleb deploys a new talk that goes beyond the book...

     "The Future Has Always Been Crazier Than We Thought," Nassim
     Nicholas Taleb, Cowell Theater, Fort  Mason, San Francisco, 7pm,
     TONIGHT, February 4.  The lecture starts promptly at 7:30pm.
     Admission is free (a $10 donation is always welcome, not required).

   Note: There might or might not be an overflow audience tonight into
   the simulcast lobby.  IF there is, Long Now Members (and a date) get
   to exercise a membership perk.  Here's how it will work:

     Priority seating in the theater will be available for Long Now
     Members (plus one) for this Seminar.

     * please arrive before the doors open at 7
     * bring your member card or ID so we can give you a hand stamp
     * when we open the doors to the theater, members (and their plus
       one) will be seated first
     * we ask that you do not save additional seats - thank you
     * at approximately 7:10 we will open the theater up for general
       seating  - there will be no more priority seating after the
       theater opens up for general seating

   There will be a simulcast of the Seminar projected in the Cowell's
   large lobby if we do reach capacity in the theater.  Questions from
   the lobby audience will also reach the stage.

   And:  Come to a reception at The Long Now Museum and Store following
   the talk, just 70 yards from the Cowell, in Building "A" at Fort
   Mason, right next to Greens Restaurant.

   This is one of a monthly series of Seminars About Long-term Thinking
   (SALT) organized by The Long Now Foundation.
