What am I currently doing to Act Long Now? (Dec 4th 2019)
Switching to Roam: Though it’s still in development and there are a lot of technical hurdles to this being a long now move (they don’t have good import export, it’s all cloud hosted and I can’t have my own backups), putting ideas into my roam network feels like long now organization for maximized creative/intellectual output over the years.
Trying to milk a lot of exploration out of the next year before I start work, hopefully giving myself springboards to more things at points in the future where I might not have had the energy to get started / make the initial push.
Lot’s of progress on understanding emotional learning (or more practically, how to do emotional unlearning) allowing me to get to a more even keeled center from which to think and act.
Getting better at ignoring the bottom line to genuinely consider what the world would be like for alternative hypothesis.
This is a great list! I’d be curious about things you are currently doing to act short now and think more wrong as well. I often find I get a lot out of such lists.

I longer buy that there’s a structural difference between math/the formal/a priori and science/the empirical/ a posteriori.
Probability theory feels sorta lame.
