Calendar event image

Are you tired of the short-term focus all around us? Business, government, culture, tech—everyone is focused on today, this week, this quarter. Long Now Boston is an inclusive forum for people interested in thinking about the big issues longer term. How can we become better ancestors? How can we learn from our deep history? Come join us to learn about why long term thinking is important, how to do it, and meet some very interesting people across all walks of life.

"Civilizations with long nows look after things better," says Brian Eno. "In those places you feel a very strong but flexible structure which is built to absorb shocks and in fact incorporate them."
