Long-Term Thinking
Perhaps you've heard of the Clock of the Long Now. It's a project designed by scientists, technologists, artists, and all-around smarties to build a working clock designed to last 10,000 years. The point, I suppose, is to put things in perspective: the whole of recorded human history is about 10,000 years, and contemplating that far into the future does kind of lessen the urgency of getting the Henderson accounts settled by Thursday.
The reasoning behind the clock is varied: it's mystical, it's pragmatic, it's humbling, it's powerful. Or maybe they're just more demonstrative and impatient fans of my 10,000-year movie project.
Well, we're one closer.
