Brian Eno, Danny Hillis: The Long Now, now

podcast conversation about 10000 year clock, and many other things
Brian Eno, Danny Hillis: The Long Now, now - The Long Now:

the 10000 years (mechanical) clock has 10 bells,
and can play different permutation for each day of those 10000 years.
10! = 3 628 800
365.25 * 10000 = 3 652 500so it is "almost" every day a new tune...

one of interesting pieces of information, "unsustainable now":
85 richest people own as much as bottom 50% of people. 
(those 85 people) combined owns about 46% of global wealth
