time traveler convention!!!

The Time Traveler Convention - May 7, 2005
from the site:
Technically, you would only need one time traveler convention. Time travelers from all eras could meet at a specific place at a specific time, and they could make as many repeat visits as they wanted. We are hosting the first and only Time Traveler Convention at MIT in one week, and WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Great idea, I’d love to help! What should I do?
Write the details down on a piece of acid-free paper, and slip them into obscure books in academic libraries! Carve them into a clay tablet! If you write for a newspaper, insert a few details about the convention! Tell your friends, so that word of the convention will be preserved in our oral history! A note: Time travel is a hard problem, and it may not be invented until long after MIT has faded into oblivion. Thus, we ask that you include the latitude/longitude information when you publicize the convention.
i freaking love this. i’ll be making clay tablets to help publicize this to future civilizations. i’ll post pics of the tablets when they’re done. any ideas on where to put them?
Dawkins is one of my favorite authors… he was also a good friend of (recently more famous than ever before Hitchhiker’s Guide author) Douglas Adams.
from the article:
You delve into agnosticism in “The Ancestor’s Tale.” How does it differ from atheism?
It’s said that the only rational stance is agnosticism because you can neither prove nor disprove the existence of the supernatural creator. I find that a weak position. It is true that you can’t disprove anything but you can put a probability value on it. There’s an infinite number of things that you can’t disprove: unicorns, werewolves, and teapots in orbit around Mars. But we don’t pay any heed to them unless there is some positive reason to think that they do exist.
if this rings true with you, join the brights! it’s an organization devoted to promoting a naturalistic worldview.
