Seminars About Long-Term Thinking

The Long Now Foundation is a not-for profit organization devoted to helping reverse the seemingly inevitable slide into short-term thinking that is currently pervasive… as Brian Eno put it, “an ever- decreasing horizon into the future and very little encouragement from people in any direction to lay long term plans”.

One of their projects, the Clock of the Long Now, is desiged to mark the passing of time for 10,000 years. They also have free seminars about long-term thinking, which they’ve made available for downloading in a variety of formats. Be sure to check out Eno’s; it’s very funny and illuminating.
