Episode 3258: Colin Wright explores the importance of long-term thinking through the lens of The Long Now Foundation's 10,000 Year Clock. This monumental project emphasizes our unique human ability to plan far into the future, urging us to extend our perspective beyond immediate concerns to benefit future generations and avoid repeating past mistakes. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://exilelifestyle.com/long-term-thinking/ Quotes to ponder: "We have that capability, but we tend not to use it very often, because day-to-day concerns have priority, and moment-to-moment concerns even more so." "The power of recording information and thinking long-term is that we can inoculate ourselves against some types of mistakes that we would otherwise make over and over again." "Maintaining a sense of self place within broader swathes of time - helps us consider where things are going across eons, rather than limiting our time-horizon to today."
