The Clock of the Long Now
Posted by: Robert Sandberg in Ecology, Science, philosophy, tags: Clock of the Long Now, tempus fugitThe best way to introduce the clock of the Long Now? Here’s a quote from the book:
Whether or not a grand version of the Clock eventually happens, the world continues to happen, and it happens to be in a new scale of trouble these days. Nobody can save the world, but any of us can help set in motion a self-saving world - if we are willing to engage the process of centuries, because that is where the real power is.
Steward Brand, editor. The Clock of the Long Now: Time and Responsibility, New York: Basic Books, 1999.
